Olive Mirror

before

after

 

I hadn't done a mirror in awhile, so it was fun to do something different!  The subtle details on the corners of the mirror were fun to work with....  I painted this ASCP Olive, distressed, & waxed with dark wax...

Sunny Side Table

before... lots of spindles on this baby!

after

lots of distressing

 

 

This was a fun piece... I knew I would be doing a lot of distressing on this piece & went back & forth on the color....  ASCP English Yellow was my final choice & I really like it!

 

If your looking for a punch of color in any room of your home, this would be the perfect piece!

Character Side Table

before

after

 

This side table has 3 different colors of paint on it... I first painted the whole thing in ASCP's Emperor's Silk & decided it wasn't quite right... so I painted the drawers in ASCP Graphite & the base in ASCP Old White.  I really like how it turned out.  The drawers look navy on this picture, but are really a charcoal gray.

Dresser for Little "C"

This is a 1950's dresser with great lines & subtle detail..

I did some mixing with ASCP Emperor's Silk & Florence to get this beautiful purplish color....

The drawers were painted in ASCP Old White...

 

My little "C" loves purple, so when she needed a new dresser, I knew it had to have some purple without it being too purple (you know what I mean????)...

 

I love the distressed, aged, look of this dresser, because with my little one, it will look distressed sooner than later anyway, so I just started the process!

Fall Colors

These cute little guys were a mess!!  They both were inlaid in leather on the top & the leather was in bad shape!!  The first step was stripping off the leather, & when that idea failed, I had to take drastic measures....

This was how the top looked with the leather stripped.... not good!

I ended up unscrewing the top of both side tables, flipping them & re-screwing them back on.... uff da....  then I had to fill all of the nail holes... lots of work, but I love the "after"......

 Here they are in ASCP Olive & the drawers in ASCP Versailles.... lots of dark wax & distressing, also!

 



 

These sold right away, so the hard work paid off!!

My Front Door Makeover

before ~ dark & dreary

after

 

 

Thank goodness for rainy days... not only did I have time to paint my front door, but I made this fun, fall wreath (inspired by Pinterest)!

 

I like the fresh look of my front door painted in Annie Sloan's Versailles.... brightens up the exterior of my house ~ mission accomplished.

 



Very cute.... well, they didn't start that way!!

before ~ yikes!

 

after

 



 

I will first of all have to thank my brother & sister-in-law for picking up these chairs for me!

 

They were in need of lots of work!!!  I took the seats off & removed the fabric & padding (which was very gross)!  I bought brand new padding (1"thick) & some upholstery fabric to finish the new look!

 

I painted the chairs in ASCP's Pure White, distressed heavily & waxed to finish ~ hope you like their new look!
