This would be great in a bedroom or a dining area as a buffet ~ I can picture it with a large mirror above & lamps on both ends

After of the tall dresser

This piece was done in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Versailles ~ which I think is kind of a creamy tan color

 

The pulls are sprayed in Oil-rubbed Bronze

After ~ Nightstand, also painted in ASCP Versailles

The tall dresser & nightstands are excellent quality, sturdy pieces

 

These pieces are really beautiful & really large!!  They are currently in my garage, but will be leaving soon, so if your interested in these great furniture pieces, just let me know.  I am selling the pieces separately with the exception of the nightstands (they will be sold as a set)!

 

Thanks for looking!!!



Uff Da.....I'm Behind...

Funny name for this blog post & I feel I need to explain.....

 

I am very behind on updating my blog... I decided today, to attempt to catch up, because I actually have been very busy doing furniture & projects!  From the looks of my blog, one would think I've taken a month off, but I've just been really busy doing furniture & not very busy posting it!

 

I promise to try to get better @ updating my blog in a timely manner (I'm not sure which of these pieces are still available @ Eco Chic)... I'll find out tomorrow & post what has sold & what is still available...  sheesh!!!

 

Thanks for looking @ all of the "before" & "afters" & for supporting Bismarck's new local business, Eco Chic!!

 

Just a few fun pieces from this summer!



Chalkboards From Frames

before

after

 

I really wanted to keep one of these chalkboards for my own kiddos... but decided to take them to Eco Chic instead!

 

I bought the wood frames from a garage sale, painted them in ASCP's Florence with distressing & dark wax.  My wonderful father-in-law cut MDF boards to fit & then I painted them with 3 coats of chalkboard paint.  I just love them!

 

If you like them, check them out @ Eco Chic Bismarck!

From Rustic to Stylish

before

after

 

My mom found this piece @ a garage sale & thought that I would like to have it.... she was right!!  It needed to be cleaned up before beginning to paint.  The base is done in ASCP's Florence, and the top I sanded a little & then loaded on the dark wax.  I also waxed over the Florence with dark wax to keep the rustic look going!

 

Eco Chic Bismarck ~ SOLD



Diamond Desk

before

after

 

I love this desk for a few reasons.....  the first is that it's solid as a rock... built extremely well, the second reason is that is it circa 1950 (I find older pieces of furniture very cool)... and lastly, I really like the way it looks!

 

I painted the base of the desk in ASCP's Florence & the drawers in ASCP's Pure White.  I taped off diamond shapes & used Florence for the diamond & a mix of Florence/Duck Egg Blue/Old White for the criss cross lines.  It is striking & also is functional!

 

Available for purchase @ Eco Chic Bismarck



2 Tiered Table

before

after

 

A really pretty table....  I painted this in ASCP's Pure White, distressed, & clear waxed.  If you like this piece & would like to see it in person, please head over to Eco Chic Bismarck!

 

Available for purchase @ Eco Chic Bismarck



Antique Library Table or Desk

before... sort of (the old top was extremely oil stained, so this is the new oak top)

oak top stained in antique walnut.... this was just the first coat... lots of coats followed...

painted in Old White... Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

beautiful, timeless table

new oak top stained & poly coated

slight distressing

original brass feet

 

 

I want to keep this piece in the worst way possible... I really do!  I've tried to figure out where in my house it would fit, & I just don't have the space!  It is quite large measuring @ 60"wide x 34 1/2" deep x 31"tall.

 

It has a sticker in the inside of one of the drawers that is Standard Furniture Company, Herkimer, NY.  It is also stamped 6-4-31 on the bottom.  It is a beautiful antique library table, but could be used as a desk, dining table, game table, etc.

 

I am selling this piece myself.  I just love it & hopefully you or someone you know would appreciate this beautiful, character furniture piece!

 

Available for purchase ~ please email heathergur@hotmail.com if you are interested in this piece!
