Hmmmm….

What to do, what to do?? Any suggestions?

Mix Any Color Milk Paint – A Tutorial

In my last post, I promised to share the mindblowing discovery which led me to achieve the perfect shade of aqua for my Beachy Sofa Table Redo. My customer wanted a beachy aqua shade with a chippy finish… So? Milk paint, right? How to achieve the right shade? Or ANY other color under the sun!…

Beachy Sofa Table Redo

I received a request for a custom order this weekend. The owner had gotten this piece that day and wanted it to fit in with her new beachy feeling family room. She was leaning towards an aqua tone – and she wanted a chippy finish…

Bohemian Chic Side Table

I’ve mentioned my father’s friend who has become my personal furniture recruiter. He picked up this little side table for me. Someone had painted the top a dark green, which had gotten a bit beat up. But other than not liking the paint and a ding in the top, the table was in great shape.

Keeping it Real

There is old and dated, and then there is old and lovely. The difference is the life in the grains. Sometimes a piece needs to be slathered in paint to feel revived, and other times it just needs to be given a freshening up. A dear friend of my father’s has heard of my habitual furniture rehab and has taken it upon himself to grab pieces for me along his travels. This chair was one such piece.
