Mid Century Mod Oh My!

July 28, 2015

I happened upon an estate sale the other month, it was like finding GOLD! I fell in love with so many pieces in that family’s home.  There was a set of two cute little solid wood classic Mid Century Modern side tables. I knew they needed to make it in our truck!

Perfect storage piece…

Original hardware…

I decided to go with painting these vintage bad boys an Annie Sloan deep creamy Aubusson Blue.

I could tell by the feel of the wood and that it had a glossy finish to it, that the Annie Sloan chalk paint may take a few more coats to stick, so I decided to save time and lightly sand the pieces so as not to have any many problems with my coats of paint.

Rarely do you have to do any prep work when using Annie Sloan chalk paint (that’s one of the reasons I love it so much), but I knew this was one of those times.

Two coats later…

I decided to keep the original hardware…just cleaned them up a tad.

Each of their tops open perfectly to reveal hidden extra storage inside.

These are classic pieces of antique furniture that will definitely give a pop of color and be the conversation pieces in any room.

$250 for the pair…contact me for details.

On to the next project… 🙂

You’ll LOVE this Pallet Coffee Table!

December 1, 2014

Look what my husband picked up for us today!!! Pallets…Pallets and MORE Pallets!!!

2014-12-10 13.13.54

Although I was the one that initially started rehabbing furniture, I started to see that as Chris watched me day in and day out bring old pieces back to life, he started to ask more and more questions.  One day, I jumped on his iPad for something and noticed he had downloaded the Pinterest app (yes Pinterest!) and was looking at different pallet furniture online.  From there, he began to clear out more space for me in my office (the garage lol), he made me a logo…

…and the rest was history!

Sooooo….I’m super excited about this coffee table! Chris decided he was going to try his hand at pallet furniture and I think he did AMAZING!  Remember those pallets above??? Well, he made this table out of reclaimed pallet wood and I think it is simply beautiful!

I decided to stain the table top a dark chocolate brown, but painted sides and legs in Annie Sloan “old white” chalk pain.  I think the difference in color from top to bottom added even more beauty to this table.  It will definitely be a discussion piece in someone’s living room.

Each sides of this table has a unique metal rustic detail.  Yep…Chris added that! It turned out amazing!

I have gotten so many compliments on this coffee table in my living room as it waits to make a forever home in yours.

Antique Oval Table…I had to have it!

November 26, 2014
OMG!!! I’m obsessed with my next project!! I found the most BEAUTIFUL antique table and I just had to have it! The detail on this table is crazy!
2014-11-14 15.41.22
The table definitely was showing its wear! It had many rough spots, nicks and worn wood spots, so I decided to go ahead and use my handy dandy power sander…
2014-11-14 15.41.38
to take care of a few areas that were worn down and would have left a dip in the finished product.
2014-11-14 15.41.13
Let me just say this…normally when you use Annie Sloan chalk paint, which is my paint of choice, you really don’t need to sand anything.  This paint seems to paint over just about everything!  I decided to sand these specific spots because they were so deep, I wanted to make sure when I did paint, the table wouldn’t have “dips” on top.
So, after I worked on just those few little spots, I pulled out my Country Grey Annie Sloan chalk paint and started painting!  I decided that this piece was already so unique that I really wanted to distress all of the beautiful details around the table…

I then sealed the paint with two coats of Annie Sloan Clear Wax and topped it off with a coat of Annie Sloan dark wax to give it just a little more of a unique look.  Screen Shot 2015-01-17 at 10.54.35 PM
 I think it turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!! What do you think?

It’s been distressed to perfection with a shabby chic, antique rustic flare and would look great as the statement piece in any room or store!

Whether as a coffee table, sofa table or even a display piece or stand, this would work perfectly! It would also draw attention as a unique entryway or hallway table in just about any home. It’s definitely one of a kind!

Check out this Storage Table

November 16, 2014

Isn’t this beautiful!!! I hate that I forgot to take “before” pictures of this guy!

photo 3 (7)

I found this piece a few weeks back when I was driving through the downtown area of Atlanta.  I remember driving past a little garage and a lady was sitting outside with a sign that said “Furniture and Things”.  Something told me to stop.  We spoke and I slowly walked through her garage piled to the top with so many awesome treasures.  I was in heaven!!! I called my husband and told him to get the truck ready!  After picking out about 7 different items from dressers, to mirrors, to desks and antiques, I really made out big time.

This storage piece was one of my faves! It was pretty beat up, but solid wood and I could just picture all the great things a family could store on it from top to bottom.bottom storage area has been painted in Annie Sloan old white and topped off with two coats of clear wax and a coat of dark wax. It’s been distressed to perfection!

Whether a person is looking for a coffee table, console table, tv stand or a sofa table this would work perfectly! It would also draw attention as a unique entryway or hallway storage table.

The Perfect Little Chalkboard Table

November 15, 2014
I just thought this was the cutest little table! I met a guy the other day who didn’t live too far from me, and he told me he loves collecting little pieces from different people’s storage units.  He showed me this little table and I instantly thought of my little 4 year old niece.  I could see her sitting around this little table and playing with all of her toys.  I had to have it! Of course it wasn’t pretty in the state it was in.  It definitely needed some work, but you know that’s what I loved the most!
2014-11-08 22.44.06
I decided to paint it Annie Sloan’s Aubusson Blue and top it off with a little chalk board paint on top.
2014-11-08 22.43.54
  
It’s turned out to be the perfect little chalk board table!
Whether you are looking for a coffee table for the living room or an art table for your kids room, this chalkboard table would be perfect. This piece is solid wood and sturdy. Again, it’s been painted in Annie Sloan’s Aubusson Blue and topped off with a great chalk board center.
