Feeling Famous

The most exciting thing happened! Maybe it's not as cool as I think it is, but I think it's pretty fetching awesome, and I'm feeling famous. My chairs are in this article, 17 Creative Ways to Recycle Old Chairs, Wood and More. 

There are a lot of neat projects that people have done using things that most people would just throw away. Take a look! 

Secondly, I merged my furniture blog with this blog. Now, there is a grand total of ONE blog to keep on top of! I love it! I hope you do too. 

Festivities!

The Fall Festival this past weekend was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who stopped by! 

We even sold a few pieces; the pink and white chevron dresser, blue end table,bench, and a yellow mirror I painted at the last minute.

At the last minute I also finished these end tables. I super love them! You can see them in the pictures from the festival.

I wasn’t able to get a “cute” picture of them before the festival, but you get the idea.

I planned to sand and re-stain the top. I used Mini-Wax dark walnut stain and just followed the directions on the can.

Unfortunately, I didn’t wear gloves because I’m too lazy to buy some/I forget, and my hands looked habitually dirty for the next two or three days.

Back to the end tables: I wasn’t sure about what color I should paint them, so I asked family and friends for color suggestions. The majority vote was white, and white they became!

Thanks for reading! 

Vintage Side Table in Mint

 

 I have always wanted to paint one of these tables! My sister-in-law gave it to me when it looked like this:

It wasn't in bad shape, but it just needed some love!

This cute thing will be at the Cameron Fall Festival October 20th. So excited!

A Pretty in Pink Breakfast Table

A Pretty in Pink Breakfast Table...with a hint of minty freshness! About a month ago I got this table and chair set. 

Now, I didn't need a table and chairs because we already have one that we made from an old, wood road sign. But for some reason I really, really, really, wanted to paint this table, thus, I told My Honeypie I would sell it. (Yes, I am selling it. I didn't just tell him a joke.) 

I really don't like light colored wood, so I sanded, painted, and re-stained the top. 

I painted the base pink...I found it in the "oops" paint for 50% off. Naturally, I couldn't help myself! I love pink! This is a newly developed love. I used to hate it. Now, I can't seem to get enough of it. 

Kind of girly, but the colors remind me of a candy shoppe. Who doesn't love candy?!

*If you are interested in purchasing this piece or having one like it please contact me.

An Orange Surprise!

Once upon a time I hated orange. Then one day I realized it was just certain types of orange. Like construction cone/vest orange. So bad. And orange orange, as in, oranges. Anyway, back to business. I got this dresser off the side of the road, for freeeee! 

In perfect condition! I think it was made of some sort of wood and laminate yuck-i-ness. This was part of my sneak peek for last week, but I couldn't drag it up the stairs by myself, so I waited until My Honeypie could help me. I turned it into this:

Since I overestimated my awesomeness, I didn't get all of my sneak peeks finished last week, so there is no sneak peek this week!

Blue and Lime

A chair, a chair! 

Hold on. Look to the right. There is a little, tiny poll. Not pole. Go ahead and vote! 

Now.

Here I have a wicker back chair from part of the Sunday Sneak Peek this week...and it turns out I only have one before picture from my phone. So here it goes: 

Now:

The best part is that I got the green vinyl for 50% off as a remnant! Yay! The worst part is that I have somehow misplaced the screws for the seat...which means I have to make a trip to get some. Ugh. 

Also, check out this awesome preview which was not on the sneak peek this week:

I'm so excited about it I can't hold still!

A Very Merry, Yellow-y Hutch

I had a neighbor friend ask me to paint a pine hutch for her.

This is how it turned out: 

A very merry, yellow hutch! 

I removed the top door because it was breaking, and honestly, I like the look better. 

Blogging from My Phone!

I had no idea one could blog from their phone! So fetch! Considering I live in a place where "we don't service [Internet] out that far", my phone is my connection to the world wide web. That, a 5 gig Internet card (which isn't a lot when you're trying to upload pics), and my parent's house.

Let me give you a sneak peek on what I'm working on...a hutch for a neighbor friend! I'm totally loving it. I'll post a before pic when I'm totally done...I don't have one on my phone!

Still so totally boggled by this. Blogging on a phone! I'll call it "phlogging".

Another Chair Makeover

Remember this chair? Well I made a friend for it.

I got the chair on the left for five dollars from a place in Kansas City called Bella Patina--the poor thing had no seat! So of course My Honeypie fixed it up and I covered it and ta-da! Two "matching" chairs. You know how awesome I am at taking before pictures, so of course, I didn't get one of the chair. But you can't be five bucks!

Oh, Hey

We are still here! We just don't have much to say in the way of our house--it's a little bit slow! but I did finally finish my bar stools that I bought a year ago. They were fiddy cents each so I swooped them. This is what they looked like before:

Ew. This is what they look like now!

WOOP!

Anyway, don't worry, I'll let you all know when we start being awesome again :)
