New Furniture Finishes

Church Pew
$10 church pew went from junk to my favorite piece of furniture in my house. This pew is 9 feet long.
Here is the before picture.

After in my entryway!!!Close up with my burlap pillows.
Not sure if you can read it in this photo but I printed "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path"

End of church pew.

Customer's end table and coffee table before.

End table after. Metalic top with vintage white border, vintage white distress finish all over, nailhead around top and new handle added.

Finished coffee table to match.

Found my Camera Cord

I finally found my camera cord! It was under a mound of toys upstairs in the playroom. Hmmmm, wonder how it got there. Marshall is the sneaky one so I blame him :-)

I don't think I have posted pictures in almost a month so here goes.

Bow frame with rhinestone cross in center.

****NEW DESIGN****

Silver, gold and bronze faux metal frame. Available in any size and any metallic finish.

I had a wild hair and made a ton of burlap pillows. I have a 9 foot church pew that I am in the process of refinishing and most of these will go on there. Let me know if you are interested in some custom burlap pillows. Any design, word, saying, verse, monogram, etc. in black or brown. Burlap is available in light and dark.

Dining room table refinish. Here is the table top before and below is what the chairs look like before.

Table after. Black and brown distress with aged table legs and chair legs.

Large horse painting. I originally was making this for a western kids room but ended up loving it in my kitchen. Painting is 32x32 and is done on plank boards. I can do a variety of diffrent designs.

The next set of before/after pictures are wooden cornice boards from my friends house. These are original cornice boards from the house that was built in the 50's. If you are interested in custom cornice boards I have a fabulous carpenter who can build them.

Raised metallic design.

Custom fireplace finish and accent wall before and after pics below.

Show in McKinney this Thursday

Don't miss this great show this Thursday. Information is on the flyer attached. I will have new home decor items, wood plank artwork and burlap vintage pillows!!! Great Mother's day gifts. Cut off to order for Mother's day is this Friday.

My website

I have no idea what happened to my website but it has vanished somewhere in cyperspace. I am still here and working away and will try to get that up again as soon as possible.

I have also misplaced my camera cord and am unable to download photos of the furniture and fireplaces I have recently completed. Planning to order a new cord this week so look for pictures to be up by the weekend.

Show coming up April 22nd in McKinney, Tx. Great mother's day gifts will be available. Speaking of Mother's day - order now! There is still time to get your order in and have it shipped in time. Quote frames make very special gifts. I can personalize your frame with anything you would like.

Coming soon: Custom burlap vintage pillows! I know that is random for me because most of my stuff involves wood but I made a few for myself and can't resist putting them out there for you too.

I am booked on furniture for the next 4 - 5 weeks so get on the waiting list! If I put one more piece of someone else's furniture in my garage or paint room my husband will KILL me. I am currently putting people on the waiting list to start mid May.

Hope your day was great. My hands are still covered in dried up paint so that means it was a good day for me :-)

A few new things

"Look what I did" with magnetic strip to hang your kiddos artwork. 8x27

Magnetic Board. Board measures 16x20 and the entire piece with frame measures 23x27

Family Nam Sign. Can be done in any color combination. 12x17

Family name sign on display.

Distressed Handpainted Furniture

This table below was a stained table from the late 70's early 80's. I refinished it with an aqua blue color, faux copper tile top, lots of aging and distress and added some nail head for additional character.

I LOVE new projects! My current addiction is refinishing furniture. Do you have an old piece that could use a makeover? Take a picture (cell phone pic is fine) sent it to me and I will give you a quote. If you don't have a piece of furniture but you want something to make a statement, go look at goodwill or hit up garage sales.

Over the next few months I will be posting pieces to sell so check back I might have something just perfect for you!

I will be in Sheveport/Bossier this week and weekend and would love to get started on your furniture make over.
