more pink sparkles
After I finished the hot pink dresser & nightstand, my daughter was begging me to keep it. Well, she does not need a new dresser – but I found this desk at Good Will & figured that before too long, she would need a desk in her room. It was pretty beat up and scratched – no biggie though! I know it would be the perfect thing to paint sparkly pink! I didn’t have very much paint left from the hot pink dresser (it took 4 coats!!) so I just mixed what I had with the pink paint that is on the walls in her room.
and here it is finished! I am looking for new hardware for the bottom drawer still – was missing when I got it.
I think she’s pretty excited 🙂 She had to put all of her “stuff” in the drawers right away, and notice the computer on top….sheesh
again with the “bad” pictures – just wanted to give you a close up of the sparkles!

Art Show Re-Cap
I am sure you’re sick of hearing about the Art Show by now – but just to re-cap – it was a GREAT weekend!!! 🙂 Thursday night my dad came over with his big trailer and we loaded it up!
Friday morning we started bright & early setting up my booth! It was a gorgeous day on the Chesapeake Bay!
This was my view for the weekend! The weather was amazing!
loved the little dollhouse furniture I found & painted just for the show!
I attached a “before” photo to each tag, so you could really see the transformation!
this little piece was quite popular – wish I had 10 just like it!!
Sunday morning – doughnuts and coffee with my 3 little helpers. I can’t thank my husband, family & friends enough for all of the support you’ve shown me while getting ready for, and during this show. It was a huge success and I couldn’t have done any of it without all of you!

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…..
Before:
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.

Let me introduce myself….
Hi there! I am Amy, and this is my very first post on my very new website! I am so excited, I can hardly stand it – thanks for visiting & hope you enjoy looking through the pictures of refinished furniture in my portfolio!
There is nothing more thrilling to me, than finding a piece of furniture that needs some love. I love going to yard sales, thrift stores, auctions, & the ‘ol Good Will to find some of the coolest pieces that have so much potential. Dressers are not just for clothes anymore! I see one and think, “perfect entertainment center – so much storage!” Matchy matchy is not my style – why not paint an old nightstand and use it as an end table in the family room?
My favorite method for painting furniture is distressing and glazing. It gives a piece depth, and adds character. I may go into more detail in a later post on exactly how I do a piece. The shop will include photos of furniture that I have available for sale. My hope is that this site will give you ideas or inspire you to try something new with your existing piece of furniture.
