Antique Buffet/CD Holder

I fell in LOVE with this piece when I found it at the Salvation Army.
I originally bought this for myself, but unfortunately it was way to big for the space where I wanted to put it.
I love the clean lines of this piece, the octagon frame around each knob, and the knobs look like huge flower. The knobs are original I spray painted them with Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze.
Look how cute the little feet are on this buffet.
I left the inside in it's original form, because it is beautiful color and a nice contrast to the green.
It is perfect for many, many, and many more DVD's. I will try and look thru my photos and find the orginal pics of this piece and add them if/when I find them.  
This piece has been SOLD.

Victorian Mirror


Okay Sorry I haven't blogged for over a month. I have been CRAZY busy.  All I can say is kudos to moms out there with five kids in sports, dance, piano, ect, ect, and ect...... I only have two kids and I think I have hectic life.....
But moving on. I am going to try my darndest to  keep this updated. This will tell you how behind on my post I am. I got this mirror the same time I painted Carries Black Pantry Door. If you go to my labels and click on black you will find that pantry door. Just don't look at the date.....
On my weekly rounds at the DI aka Deseret Industry I strolling around as usual and come across this baby in the bed sections. I looked at the Price and about screamed out loud and did a little dance. This Monsterous BEAUtiful Baby was a whopping $5.00. I know the mirror alone is more than $5.00. I was uderley SHOCKED and GIDDY.... Thought maybe they miss priced it, but with about 9 stickers on it all saying $5.00. It must be correct. I think the person with the sticker gun was a little sticker happy!
I put this mirror in my cart so fast and it took up the whole cart and then some!

I knew instantly it was going to be a Beauty. I choose to paint it different shade of green. My hubs likes green and well so do I. I call it pukish green, but with stain on it I knew it would be PURRTYY...
DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........
I put it on our plant shelf to add some light  and because I think it looks cute!
It's funny looking at this picture everything in it (except Raggedy Ashley and Raggedy Brandon who are wearing our own baby clothes) is from either the DI or SA. Can anyone say addicted!


So in these two pictures I changed something up a bit. Because I am addicted to changing things. Can anyone tell  me what it is?

 Okay and I am LOVING the mirror and I am hating how the stinkin Smoke detector is no longer white but yellow. I am wondering while I type this can you spray paint the cover of smoke detectors?
I love how the stain brings out every beautiful detail. I also have a question for my fellow Redo Gals out in the world do your husband like or hate that we(and I mean you and I) Redo things?
Because mine looks at this mirror and thinks it's the most HIDEOUS thing out there..... I know right.. IDIOT......(IDIOT that I love) but IDIOT is what I think when he makes remarks like this.....
Okay it's 12:24 am and I am pooped from the many adventures. 
SO Good Night and Good Day.......

LIME GREEN STOOL

Jenni & I found this stool at the Salvation Army.
Instantly knew we had to have it. The gorgeous detail it had.
This after the cushion is removed and a little distressing.
So this is where the fun begins.
I choose this Lime Green because it's so fun, and I knew once it was stained the detail would really pop against this bright color.
A close up of the details.
The fabric is so fun. You don't see these color together a lot! But I thought it was fun and I liked it!
This is just some of the stuff we took to Scraps of Simplicity boutique.
I know it was almost a month ago. I have been slacking on blogging!
Also loved this little nightstand to go in a Master bedroom or even in a living room.
I love this color and the detail on this piece as well.

Master Bedrroom End Tables

I found these BEAUTIES at the Salvation Army. I paid 15.00 for the both of them.
I couldn't say no to that. I new I loved them from the moment I laid eyes on them.
Loving all the detail.
  
I love the shape of this one. Brandon loves the color green.
So I painted them to match our dresser.

 Crazy what a little paint can do, Always amazed.
Love how the stain makes everything POP.
A close up of all the details, details, details...
So I kept debating on what knobs to use. The originals or these pretty glass ones.
I kept going back and forth, forth and back.
GLASS???
or ORIGINAL!!!!!
Let me know what you like.
I think I know but would still like some input...

FINALLY::)) Master Bedroom Dresser!!!!

I have had this dresser for over 2 years and I feel in love with it at first sight.
Had to have it, wasn't quit sure where it would go, but I knew I was not leaving the store with out it!
I got it for only $35.00!
I wanted the dresser to be taller, so I searched Lowes and Home Depot- no luck::))
I began my search on line &  finally found ones I liked.
I LOVE how something so simple can make such  drastic difference.

My husband loves green. So this is the color we came up with.

I got the vintage glass knobs from ebay. I was very lucky that one seller had enough knobs
for the dresser and my two night stands.
I also painted the original  hardware in oil rubbed bronze.


I love these tear drop pulleys. Painted them oil rubbed bronze as well.

Lime Green Chair

As you can see I forgot to take a before pic !
This is the chair primed.
I like the flower on the seat.


This would be cute in a little girls room.
The pink polka dot fabric matched the paint perfectly.

Added ribbon to the seat cushion to tie on
This Chair also sold at Scraps of Simplicity.

Polka Dot Kids Chair

This fabric is what started this project. I absolutely LOVE polka dots, when I saw it I had to have it. What better use for a little boys play set or even a little girls.
The colors together are so complimentary to each other. This chair is FOR SALE with the Kids Play Table This is the before picture! So plain and BLAH!
