blue buffet $240 – SOLD

I never would’ve thought I’d be buying furniture from facebook!  I bought this buffet from ‘Harford County Backyard Sale.’  It is a group on facebook that is just what it sounds like – people in the area post pics of things they want to sell.  When I first saw it, I thought it would look great painted black…..

but then I found & fell in love with knobs from Anthropologie.  Lets face it, I knew I’d have way more fun painting it blue 😉  I mixed a few colors together to get the shade of blue that I wanted, glazed it lightly with brown glaze, and sealed it with satin varathane.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  I can’t wait to show you the next piece I am working on.  Here’s a hint – this is a link to the new hardware  that I ordered for it  🙂 http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/770991.jsp

Remember this little table from the mud auction?  Well, here it is in case you forgot what it looked like before…..

Guess who’s back….. (all of these pieces were sold at the show)

It feels like it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything.  In-between working on stuff for the Art Show (yes, I will have a booth in the Havre de Grace Art show August 16, 17, & 18 – mark your calendars!!)  and doing a few custom jobs, our entire family got hit big time with a stomach virus.  NOT fun, and I hope that we do not have to go through that again for a LONG time!  Anyhoo, I wanted to share a few pieces at a time that I will have available at the Art Show.  I know it’s still a couple months away, but it will take time to fill a booth!  Have I mentioned how excited I am to be a part of it?!

So – here are the first couple of pieces!
