Coral Queen Headboard and MORE pillows!

I seem to always start out a blog post with "I LOVE HOW THIS TURNED OUT"  for some odd reason I can't think of a better way to say it!  I LOVE HOW THIS TURNED OUT!   I supposed it is a good thing I am selling things I personally love!

Turquoise Queen/Full Headboard & Pillows

Looky what I finally finished today!  

I have a cute little girl who comes and sands for me and helps me with whatever I may need help with for the day.  She LOVES fun bright colors and inspired me to paint this vintage bed a fun color.  I am so glad she did as I love this bed in turquoise!

Parade of Homes and my Table

You may have seen my chairs and table I posted a few weeks ago (Link here)

They made their debut last week in the St George Parade of Homes, and were a HIT!!

I love the upholstered chairs, one day when my kids are older they will be a must in my house.  I love how warm and inviting they make the table.  The wood spindles make these chairs so rich and add a little extra personality!  Not to mention I love how the oval table looks in the space.

Beautiful Gray Hutch!

I am sure we all do those projects we think, "yeah, I like it but I don't LOVE it."  Well this project is not one of those because I LOVE LOVE LOVE this hutch.  It is one of those pieces I put so much time into, maybe too much that is up for debate.  The end result is worth all the hours spent, and yes I mean HOURS!!

Off to the Parade of Homes

I have always loved the Parade of Homes,   I can remember going as a young girl with my mom.  I love to see how a house is pulled together and all the new fun things they are putting in!  And of course there are always those few houses that leave you speechless.

You can imagine how excited I was when a Designer of one of the St George Utah Parade of Home, Megan Frandsen, came to me looking for a few items!

I am in love with the end result of these chairs.  As a Granddaughter to a cabinet builder I don't believe everything should be painted as I have seen and know the skill and beauty behind a wood piece, however I LOVE LOVE these chairs painted!!  After they are glazed the wood pressed design is AMAZING!!

A little black....

You may have noticed I don't usually paint something black, only on request!!  

I was reminded why I am not a huge fan of black on this piece!  

Now I do love the outcome of black, it is just getting there that seems to be my problem.

I am way too much of a perfectionist when painting and with black it shows EVERYTHING.  So as you can imagine I sanded and repainted this piece several times to get it just right.  However I did learn a little trick, if you are using latex paint try waxing instead of a clear coat, it shows less and is a little more forgiving!!

But my customer was very happy with this piece and so all the hard work was worth it!

A Beautiful Bedroom Set

One of the greatest things about blogging and selling furniture is I meet some pretty great people.  The lady I did this set for I meet awhile back and have now refinished several things different pieces for her.  Through it all we have become friends and love to keep in contact with each other!  Who would have thought right?

This set is for her daughter and goes with a dresser I previously refinished (post here)

I love the details on this bed, the glaze really made them pop!

I am so glad she wanted the top of this nightstand stained, it turned out beautiful and goes perfect with the dresser!

And this fun little chair adds so much character!  

I hope everyone is surviving this January, it has been cold here, but the snow makes is beautiful!
