Hot Pink Glam Dresser & Nightstand – SOLD
I was so excited when I found this dresser & matching nightstand. It is exactly the kind of piece that I love to do!
I posted on facebook, asking for color suggestions. Lots of people said “yellow.” I didn’t really have a gut feeling on this one, and I liked the idea of yellow – even bought yellow paint for it. But then I found this:
Yep, glitter top coat. I had to try it. This dresser seemed like the perfect “girly” piece for glitter 🙂
So – it’s not my ‘normal’ distressed glazed piece, but I love how it turned out (and so does my daughter – she’s begging to keep it for her room 🙂 )
The glitter top-coat went on very easily – I still used 2 coats of satin varathane on top of the giltter (even though you don’t really need another top coat according to the glitter can) Just wanted to make sure it was nice & sealed.

vintage curvy teal dresser – SOLD
I got this dresser at an auction. I loved it as soon as I saw it – those curvy drawers at the top! It would be so cute in a nursery – it is the perfect height for a changing table….or in any other room of the house 🙂

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!

♥ love my green dresser ♥
Before – don’t you see all that potential?!
During the process – I sanded the whole thing down, primed it, painted it teal, and then sanded again to distress. 
Next, I glazed it – this is what the glaze looks like when you first brush it on
the finished product – looks a little bluer then it actually is – the actual color is more green

white dresser
My husband & I bought this dresser 11 years ago at a yard sale. I don’t have a before picture, but was a laminated wood finish. I refinished it back then & still use it today! (ignore the mess on top :))
