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.

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!

After – I sanded & stained the top a dark espresso color, then painted the rest of the cabinet a creamy white.  Then, I sanded to distress a little – love how the grey paint comes through.

I got this rocking chair at an estate sale – perfect for my little girl’s room!  She even “helped” me paint it. 🙂

Why does an interior door have to be white??  Mine isn’t & I love it – it is the perfect ‘pop’ of color against the grey walls in my kitchen.  I panted it teal, distressed a little & used a brown glaze on top (the before photos were taken when the walls were off-white)

I love this little jewelry box – looks like a miniature dresser!  It was a dark brown wood, I painted it blue, then sanded and glazed it.
