I adore big wing back chairs used at dining room tables! And I love the mix of modern chairs, traditional wingbacks, and the rustic wood table. Great combo!

A Vintage Nursery Project

September 16, 2014 at 8:04 am (Projects) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I know I just now finally shared the nursery with you, but I also just finished a fun little project in there.

I was given this beat up little vintage dresser the other day , with plans to turn it into a book shelf for toys.

Suddenly it struck me. Those two drawers could also be another project,  perfect for some storage! I cleaned, sanded, painted, roughed, waxed, added wheels and knobs, and viola!

I absolutely love how they turned out! B can now store toys or clothes in them,  and they should fit under any bed, so he can use them for a long time! My helper approves.

This was my first time using paste wax. I tinted my wax myself with paint. I really like how it gives the drawers a barn board feel. I think with a little practice this could be a new favorite technique! What do you think?

A Nursery!

So, this big news was big a year ago. Oops. But, the nursery is still cute, so I wanted to share!

I just love how it turned out! The blue walls became a soft gray, we added barn board shelves to hold a collection of John Deere tractors, I made a mobile from small shed antlers, and the giant bull poster from the Angus producers ties the farm colors together!

I love the vintage games and trucks and tractors on the book shelves. Don’t worry, the green lamp did eventually get a little white shade!

And a stash of cowboy boots and cloth diapers to boot! 🙂

So, like I mentioned, this was news a whole year ago. So here is a peak of what else a year can do.

Our New Old Curio Cabinet

September 14, 2014 at 10:54 am (Uncategorized)

I wish I had taken a before picture. I know, I seem to say that all 5 he time, but really. I’m kicking myself. But, picture dark, oudated, and plain bland.  The little corner curio cabinet was fake wood, but had potential. So, here she is after paint and new knobs.

So, phone photos aren’t the best. This quick drive-by post doesn’t do the new cabinet justice really. But, you get the idea. And, you know that I am still here, I still do projects, and I remember you, but I’m just busy. 🙂  What do you think?
