Carrie's Pantry Door

Carrie was wanting something different for her pantry door. Out in blog land there are lots of pantry doors being painted different colors. Which is so fun and brings a pop of color to the kitchen. Carrie asked me to paint her pantry door and distress it. I love the way it turned out. The picture doesn't do the door justice. You can't see all the distressing and the white that came through. Did I say that I love it. I am trying to figure what door in our house to do this too! It's so fun and cute.
This is the pantry door in original form, plan and blah!

Mirror Mirror!!

I am in love with mirrors lately! If I see one and at the DI or Salvation Army I have to buy it.
I found a new home for this mirror. I purchased it at the DI for $4.00. I love the detail in the frame. I spray painted it black! I had the perfect home for this mirror above our kitchen cabinets.
This is her before she was painted black. It's still amazing what a new coat of paint will do to a piece of furniture. I am almost done with the dressors-they are painted and some are stained. I am hoping to have them posted and done this weekend. Keep checking back.

Master Bedroom Furniture ReDO

These two pieces are also from the Salvation Army I paid $5.00 for each. I love how they are different shapes but the details are the exact smae.
I love the details in these pieces as well. Check back soon I am almost done with these three pieces.

Master Bedroom Furniture ReDO

I got this dresser at the Salvation Army almost a year ago. It was only $48.00 dollars and it has two matching dressers(I mean mirrors) that go with it. I LOVE the detail and the lines on this dresser.
I wanted the dresser to be taller, so I(my husband just read this and asked me who added the legs? My reply was you did) need to rephrase this, my wonderful hubby added these legs and I love it so much more. Isn't it the most beautiful dresser in the world. I LOVE it. I am in the process of redo-ing our Master Bedroom and this is one of the pieces.
This is the dresser before the legs were added. I love it so much more with the legs.

Rachels Highchair ReDO

This is the cutest high chair ever. They don't make them like this anymore, which is to bad because they are so CUTE, solid wood, and durable.
This piece is so SPRINGY, I love this color it's by Rustoleum Summer Squash.
I added all the little wood dowels to cover all the screws! Makes it look so much more finished.
We added this cover to the brown strap, because it was so dirty and didn't match. The black & white with the yellow is so FUN. Like I always say black & white looks cute with any color.
Added a whole bunch of Polly to the seat and the tray.
So when Rachel came to take a peek at her Kitchen Table & Chairs. She asked if I have ever come across any wood high chairs. I said well just last friday I saw one at the Salvation Army. Well it's Tuesday, Rachel was so excited and both of us were hoping it would still be there!!!!! So Jenny called Joe and asked if the piece was still there??????? It was YEAH! I went down right then and bought it.
These are the lovely before pictures.
Can you see the screws??? Doesn't look to cute.

Kitchen Table & Chairs ReDO

I love how this turned out. I have always loved black and maroon together.
I love the legs on the kitchen table, they remind me of bamboo! I like how all the chairs have the same bamboo front legs on them. I also like how the bamboo details is also all the way around the table at the top. This table and chairs are For SALE. Just email if you are interested. Again the bamboo looking details on the back of all the chairs as well. I Love it!!!
I added these knobs from Hobby Lobby, they originally had small little brass knobs. I love the maroon on the knobs. It ties in the maroon around the edge of the table and on the fabric on the seat cushions.
The fabric on the chairs is very Beautiful!!

Don't you love the before pics. I can't believe I ever like this color. The chairs were originally that yellow all over, I sanded alot off.
I even added this lovely fabric.
Love the fabric!!-Not anymore.
This is a good pic of the yellow color it was originally.

Carrie Bar Stools ReDO

I enjoy painting a piece of furniture and watching it get a new life.
Carrie choose white for her bar stools and wanted them a little distressed. She also wanted them stained in Jacobean. I ended with poly on the bar stools for protection.
These are the before pics of the stools. They are very similar to the chairs that I did for Rachel. I am in love with the backs of each of the bar stools and the kitchen chairs.
Carrie didn't like the color of the her bar stools either and they did not match her house.
Crazy how much color can change the appearance of a piece of furniture. I love it!!!
