<br>
Ive missed ya!<div><br></div><div>I started this post over a year ago . never finished it, never posted it. But I can't just discard these photos I simply have to share. Not only are they pictures from last December (2014) but to me they are progress, growth and motivation. </div><div>I've enjoyed scrolling through these pictures reminiscing of past December. .. many memories with these pictures. </div><div>it's been a wonderfully busy year it's gone by so fast! I must've been very productive as I am positive everything in these photos have since been sold. </div><div>Enjoy my memories</div><div>Erica</div><div><br>

<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello there Friends</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></strong> </div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I absolutely love painting furniture. I love the relaxing state that it puts me in. I love bring out my creative into a tangible reality. I love the feeling I have when I've completed a piece. Even though I've been painting for years there is still that feeling like wow I did that?! A sense of pride that can just elevate my mood every time. Yes the experience may be there ( I have been painting for about 17 years) but really its all these amazing products that are out now. I mean its hard to screw up. Back when I was just starting out there was (at least it wasn't well known) no furniture paint, Latex was the old school way to go. Now the process for making over your cherished furniture is easy its the creative aspect that sets apart a furniture artist and just a furniture diy painter. The hardest part for me is trying to figure out what kind of technique and colors I am going to use. Sure sometime the piece just speaks to me and I know right away how I am going to go about its makeover but other times its a fun but difficult decision. and honestly they haven't always been the best decisions embarrassed to say I've had to repaint pieces because they just wouldn't sell.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">its been a while since I've posted so today I thought I would share with you a handful of the projects that I've finished the last couple of months.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here was a custom piece that I did for a client for her sewing room. I hand painted dress form silhouettes on a pine cabinet. This was such a fun piece! The inside is the beautiful bright Bordello by American Paint company and the outside was painted in a taupey grey called Rushmore.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>Hello Friends!</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just wanted to pop in and share a quick post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was just so anxious to show off this recent furniture redo that I did for my lovely client , Sharon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sharon gave me free range to work some magic on her sweet petite cabinet. I love that, being able to just go with it! The only guidelines that I had were to stay within the Frenchy blue grey color and to use book pages from one of Sharon's childhood books, <u>The Mystery at the Ski Jump</u> a Nancy Drew Mystery Story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So check out these pictures and let me know what ya think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the before and after</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what a transformation, isn't it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I first painted the entire piece in a custom mix of Annie Sloan's decorative chalk paint in Napoleonic Blue, French Linen, and American Paint Co.'s Home Plate to come up with a pale bluish grey. Then I covered the entire piece with a wash of American Paint Co. Rushmore ( which is a taupey grey).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next came the fun part. when I really make this piece unique.</div>

<br />
<br />
It's Halloween Eve! Tomorrow is the big day. Its pure excitement around here, this is the first year I will actually have trick-or-treaters and boy are they in for a treat! Bah ah aha ah ah ( that is my spooky laugh) Back in June we moved to to the mouth of Virginias northern Neck from Southern Maryland. Currently renting until I find my forever home so for the next year home is in a neighborhood, for the first time in my adult life. And honestly I couldn't wait until October this just might be the only Halloween that i'll get to participate, as I sure do miss living deep in the woods and having my privacy. So to all you Trick-or Treaters BEWARE!<br />
<br />
Ok onto some spooky shop pics....<br />

As you know I have the most awesome Mantel to decorate at<a href="http://www.deepcreekvintage.com/"> Deep Creek Vintage</a>. It gets refreshed with the change of every season or holiday so you'll probably be seeing a lot of blog post of Mantel Décor.<br />

Its a great craft project ~ I simply decoupage scrapbooking Halloween labels to the bottle fronts and even embellished a couple with festive trims.<br />
<br />

Another craft project I did for Halloween are those cute crows on boxes. <br />
Dollar store crows now boasting their party hats ~ (made from scrapbooking paper) Even the skull in the jar has his party tophat on!<br />

Have you seen those pictures that change when you look at them from different angles? I've seen them at the dollar store but if you take them off of their plastic frames and put them into a real frame the spooky factor goes way up! they look like they could actually be someone from your family :)</div>

Hello Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow a month since my last post! I've been very busy with the new shop Deep Creek Vintage, which is a very good thing :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had our Grand Opening and Vintage Therapy Marketplace on October 12 & 13. and I am extremely happy to announce, despite the horrible rain it was a huge success. Please follow me on Facebook ~ im so much better at updating my Facebook page and you can see all of the pictures of the grand opening on my page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I thought I would share with you some pictures of my room at Deep Creek Vintage. These were taken last night and the sun had already started to set so the lighting is not the best quality but it kinda goes with my eerie Halloween décor. Speaking of Halloween ~ You might get some sneak peeks of my Spooky Halloween Mantel today but... for tomorrows post, I'll show you lots of goolish pictures of how I decorated my Antique Mantel at the shop.</div>

Stripes grace the sides in two shades of green. A tip to adding interest to a piece but still keeping it neutral, try adding tone on tone stripes. </div>

Stripes can give instant drama to a piece of furniture.</div>

Embellished with Gold accents. I used Rub n buff ~ Grecian Gold, for all the raised moldings/ trims. Gold and Metallic are so HOT right now and im loven it.

I also added Vintage Music sheets from an old Hymn church book. I simply decoupage the sheet music onto my cabinet. These were already "yellowed" but I did decided to go ahead and scuff them up by sanding them and applying a dark wax along the edges. I was trying to achieve a look of old torn wallpaper.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>Hello Friends!</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coffee is especially yummy this morning! Maybe its because of the cool crisp breeze flowing through the windows. Oh how I do love the change of seasons. So I thought it only appriopiate that I would share with you today a Fall Project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>Faux Sunflowers on a Spring</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not claim this awesome idea as my own, It was something I just happen to skim across on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/goodmanwright/faux-flowers/">Pinterest</a>. Not sure if I was searching for Autumn Inspired crafts or Faux Flowers (which I love!) but anyway I was lucky to have found these Super Pretty Grungy Sunflowers from Libbie's Home blog. You can look at Libbie's Home page<a href="http://libbieshome.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-hate-to-waste-good-batch-of-grunge.html"> HERE</a> she also gives a great tutorial on how to create your own. I ran with her wonderful creation and kinda tweaked it to my own style and this is what I came up with.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was really easy, but ya know like with most crafts very time consuming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The springs came from an antique parlor sofa that im in the process of recovering ~ not a fun job I might add. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
** I made myself a sunflower petal template and proceeded to cut out different sized petals in various fabrics and layered them atop each other with a dab of hot glue in between each layer , until I achieved the fullness I was looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
** I took a shortcut for the middle seed pod of my Sunflower ~ instead of trying to create a center for my flowers I repurposed the center from some cheesy artificial sunflowers purchased at the Dollar Store. I even reused a few of the leaves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cute huh? I really love to use burlap Fabric especially in my Fall Décor. And just to add my own touch instead of the Sunflowers only consisting of Burlap I used an Orange Velvet type of material, a yellow Toile, A staple in my home- Dropcloth, a golden floral pattern fabric, and on the white sunflowers I even added a lace doily.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>Hello friends</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you heard of Painting Fabric? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure you have its all over the web and it seems to be gaining popularity. So of coarse I had to try it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was curious to know how it felt and how involved the paint application would be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not going to give any kind of tutorials (there is already a million out there) However I will share with you my step by step pictures on my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Lovely Settee with Painted Upholstery</span></strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets start with the after picture, Isn't she pretty? I painted the back tufting a beautiful Olive color and recovered the seat in a coordinating floral upholstery weight fabric.</div>

This Victorian Era Settee was one of the first pieces of furniture that I moved into <a href="http://deepcreekvintage.com/Home_Page.html">Deep Creek Vintage</a>. I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I'm not so sure I would paint an upholstered piece that would house your bum daily, but for a tufted back of a chair or sofa I think its perfect.</div>

Here is really all you need to paint Fabric ~ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Annie Sloan's decorative Chalk Paint in Olive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a bottle of water ( every blog I read said to wet the fabric )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a brush ( I uses a cheapy one so I could really jam the paint into the tuffs)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a rag for any drips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It took about 3 coats of paint until I was satisfied with the results. One thing to keep in mind when your painting fabric IT TAKES FOREVER TO DRY so if your impatient like me or trying to finish a project quickly, this is just to give you a heads up it took my fabric overnight in between each coat to dry!</div>

As you can tell you can still see the pattern of the fabric, which is also something to keep in mind when deciding weather to paint your fabric or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would absolutely recommend WAX! I usually wax everything however when waxing your upholstery it is a must. The fabric does not feel as smooth and as soft without the wax, and it gives it that nice sheen that you can see from the picture, plus it will protect your paint job that you've worked so hard to achieve.</div>

</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So would I do it again? ABSOLULTY! I think it a great way to give a shabby piece and new life and much more inexpensive than having new fabric put on (especially with all those tuffs) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So go give it a try for yourself and let me know what your thoughts are about Painting Upholstered Furniture.</div>

My world has been turned upside down this summer ~ due to my home selling and then my move to Virginia and also a new and very exciting shop opening. And in the midst of all that going on I also decided to participate in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Vintage-Home-Market/420691844636980?ref=br_tf">The Vintage Home Market Show in Richmond</a>. It was their first ever show and I was lucky to be a part of it! I know it was about 2 months ago but I would love to share with you all my space <3 and some of the other cool vendors that were there. So be prepared lots of pictures! ENJOY</div>

That little washstand was the first piece of furniture that was sold on Saturday. I sure wish I had taken some before pictures of that washstand because it was in rough shape to say the least. I ended up removing the doors on the bottom all together they were just not repairable. The basket that was added really made it functional again for hiding all your goodies. And do you see that backsplash ? My firefighter custom cut that and added the antique appliques, turned out really cute! </div>

<br />
It's a beautiful rainy Sunday morning here in Virginia. 6 weeks I would've said Southern Maryland instead of Virginia. Very happy to state that now I am a Virginian. Virginia is for lovers and I am in love with my new career venture at <a href="http://deepcreekvintage.com/">Deep Creek Vintage</a> and I am in love with a fresh new start. I truly believe everything I falling into place exactly the way it should be. The only gripe I have is this tiny house were in, although I shouldn't complain there are good and bad things with everything. We are currently renting until we decide on a definite location and plus the whole "move" happened so fast we really didn't have time to find a permanent home. As far as renting it was really slim Pickens. the majority of rental homes are just plain nasty I mean filthy, or the location was horrible, a couple we looked at were ok but didn't have a work space for me. The home were in now is in a decent neighborhood, it<em> was</em> very clean, and does have a nice size garage, guess I shouldn't complain but it is very small ~ my dining room table doesn't even fit! It reminds me of the townhouse I lived in when I first moved out at 20 yr old :) but like I said its only a rental and i'll be in my dream home soon enough!<br />
Well enough of the personal mumbo jumbo now lets get on to some furniture...<br />
<br />
This week one of the projects I completed is this super cute Vintage China Cabinet.<br />
I'll just let the pictures do the talking.<br />

I used American Paint Company's Lincoln's Hat and Home Plate for the shelves. If you haven't had the opportunity to work with APC and would like to try this amazing Chalk/Clay/ Mineral based paint you can purchase it at Deep Creek Vintage or we also offer classes so you can get some one on one tips. you can get more info on the classes and paint<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deep-Creek-Vintage/109764132512340"> ~ <span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>here.</em></strong></span></a><br />

The chicken wire doors weren't planned. Originally this china cabinet had glass ... during our move one of the glass pieces broke. replacing the glass would have been an inexpensive fix but I was anxious to get it in the shop and honestly I love the chicken wire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
talk about juxtaposing, the rustic chicken wire, the chic richness of the black, the modern graphic print, and the elegance of the silver trim, and the fun pop of color hidden in the drawers.... its the perfect mix.</div>

Hello there Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on Monday I met with Cheryl she is the proprietor of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deep-Creek-Vintage/109764132512340?ref=ts&fref=ts">Deep Creek Vintage</a>. Cheryl is opening a new super fabulous shop in Spotsylvania, VA. I mean this place is to die for ~ pure beauty. It is circa 1850 a plantation house complete with drop dead gorgeous fireplaces in practically every room, glorious worn wood floors, super high ceilings that just scream GRAND, windows, details and moldings that will make your jaw drop. It was truly stunning. While I was visiting my mind was just a spinning seriously I was wondering after I left if I was even speaking in complete sentences. To come across a place like this for an antique shop is really just a dream. You'll probably have to hear me yap about Deep Creek Vintage a lot because I wish Cheryl and her new adventure the best of luck and plenty of success! </div>

A beautiful secretary/desk/ what not shelf dated back to 1905? at least that is what is marked on the back of the mirror. To me, it was just a really cool piece of furniture that needed a lot of love and that I knew once I got a hold of it , it would be a showstopper! </div>

After 2 coats of American Paint Company Paint in<span style="font-size: large;"><em> Bordello</em></span> and the highlights in ASCP Old white I sealed it with a bit of clear wax and then went over in certain spots with the dark wax to add drama and to age it a bit. And then later buffed and buffed some more to give it that shine. </div>

So Ive been crazy busy lately there is so much going on right now in my neck of the woods ~ and I wish it was all happy fun stuff but its not... Ive been horrible with my blog posts lately, but if you do follow my blog then ya know that my house is on the market, which is completely draining and a very exhausting process and not to mention probably the most stressful event I've gone through in my life. So many of you have express your thoughts and have sent me such sweet e-mails and I just want to say thank you. Soon this chapter in my life will end and a new brighter one will begin. I'm excited to see what the future holds for me and my family. On that note I do have some fantastic news but I'm gonna have to leave you hanging for a while ...but stay tuned cause your gonna love it!</div>

Can a girl ever have to many mirrors!!?? I think not. I absolutely adore vintage mirrors especially the really ornate carved Victorian ones. And apparently you love them too they are one of my biggest sellers and it makes sense ... a mirror adds so much drama to a room it can be a statement piece a real eye catcher. I have in fact decorated a whole room solely around a mirror.</div>

It was love at first sight ~ I wasn't really to concerned how high it was going to go at auction because I knew it was coming home with me. Luckily I did get a good price on it. I could already envision just how lovely those roses would be after I saturated them with some chalk paint.</div>

I used Annie Sloan Decorative Chalk Paint ( of coarse). I chose French Linen, which has become a staple in my home, for the base of the mirror and Old White for all the raised moldings. It was distressed and got some dark wax applied to age it a bit. Hard to tell from these pictures but that gold gilding peeks through where I distressed and looks really stunning in person. For now its finished and hanging in my Foyer so its one of the first things you see when you walk into my home.</div>

Here is just a peek at another mirror I recently painted. Anytime I find these extra tall super detailed framed mirrors I snatch them up ~ they are so versatile ~ you might not think so because they are so big but really they look incredible on the floor propped against the wall behind a petite side chair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you might notice I also just recently painted the Victorian Server ~ it was painted w/ ASCP Florence and then Pure White over top ~ its been waxed but I still have to distress so the Florence will shine through and I also need to add the handles. It funny how projects for my home always get the back seat to projects for clients or for the shop. </div>

I realize its been awhile since I've shared pictures of my booth. I dropped off a couple of "new" things yesterday so I snapped a few photos. A lot of people have been asking for vintage decorative items to use to display on their porches / gardens so I've been working on some pretty cool stuff this week for outdoor decorating. Nothing is quite picture ready yet so make sure your checking my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TatteredElegance1?ref=hl">Facebook</a> page for updates.</div>

Do ya'll add mirrors to your porches? I do! A girl can never have to many mirrors. :) And what a wonderful way to reflect the sunlight. A covered porch may not be considered square footage in your home but for me it is a room that is used just as often as the living room. And that's how I decorate it, comfy and cozy and with plenty of architectural and decorative elements.</div>

That vibrant blue side table is only $45 and the Fantastic Farm Table is $550. This Farm Table is 6' long x 4' wide with 2 deep drawers and it is so versatile. I could see it being used as a large substantial desk or it would make a great craft table. For me, I used it as my dining table, for 10 years. I will be a little sad to see it go. I usually flip my pieces at home pretty often but this farm table has really stuck around for a long time.</div>

Finally I came up with someway to display my lampshades. I LOVE recovering lampshades but they were always such a pain when it came to booth display. Now even though they're difficult to get to ( you'll have to ask for help from the mall staff) at least you can see all of them and the best part is now I have so much more room for more lampshades! so expect to see some fresh designs... very soon! Most of the shades are only $45 smaller ones usually around $25</div>

I've been in the decluttering mode and cleaning mode lately ~ due to my house being for sale. Not so much for the potential buyers that are pass through my home but for the sheer fact that my house is full of<strike> junk</strike> my cherished belongings, and if I don't get rid of it now im going to have a whole lot of work to do when it does come time to pack up and move. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My bedroom has always been a work in progress ~ its just never been quite right. I once heard Christopher Lowell (remember him) say something along the lines of ~ your bedroom should a place you love because its the first and last room you see everyday. Makes sense huh? Im making a vow right now that when I move my bedroom will be the first room I decorate and I want it dreamy and romantic with big fluffy pillows, sparkly chandeliers, ruffles, French furniture... ahhh its fun to dream but who am I kidding! I live with a fireman who would only <em>complain a little</em> on how I choose to decorate but he would totally ruin the vibe. I can see it now stinky man work boots atop my fluffy pillows that hes thrown on the floor! ok anyway ( I got a little off track) </div>

You'll never guess what these ( there is a pair ) were before I revamped them... part of a garage door. I bought 3 LONG garage door panels at an estate sale not knowing what I was going to do with them. I love that look with the shutters on both sides of the bed so I tried to mimic it using the garage panels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut them in half, painted the trim with Annie Sloans French Linen, then decoupage them using an old hymn book. Then not satisfied with just the book pages I continued to decoupage bits of this awesome silver mirrored roses scrapbook paper after that I added just a bit of tea stain just to kinda make it look a little bit more aged.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Antique Sconces were given a fresh coat of Old White paint and i bought some really cool light bulbs to go with them ~ they flicker like candles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the his and her crowns at Kirklands ~ <3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still need something to go on the bottom half ~ any suggestions? I thought maybe a small decorative mirror, a photo, or a small chalkboard with a romantic quote hmmm???</div>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">and here is my sheet music angle wings. You might recognize these from the Laplata Antique Show that I participated in ~ you can read about that <a href="http://tatteredelegance.blogspot.com/2013/02/laplata-antique-show.html">here</a>.<br />
Aren't these the most perfect thing to hang over a bed? It is a reminder that an angle is watching over me always.<br />
<br />
So here is the before of the boring pair of thrift store nightstands. They are not antiques and I've seen them a million times before but I wanted a matching set of nightstands and at $20 for the pair I couldn't pass that up.<br />

so I've revamped my home for the spring season ~ ya know the changing of the mantel décor , I've switched out my wine colored velvet curtains for panels of light airy cream linen, pulled out all my jadeite to display on top of my great great aunts county cupboard ~ jadeite always reminds me of spring to me it goes right along with birds nest and daffodils. Speaking of daffodils fresh flowers and flowering branches are everywhere ~ even in my kids rooms and bathrooms :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today instead of sharing another furniture makeover I thought I'd share a little spring vignette in my family room ~ Enjoy!</div>

Love the green chippy paint on this vintage box, I didn't do a thing to it other than clean it up. My firefighter couldn't understand why I wanted it when I spotted it at auction amougnst all the tools. And then after I got it for a dollar he thought hmm apparently no one else wanted it either. But in my mind its<em> perfect</em> and this is exactly how I envisioned it when I eyed it laying in the rubble of old rusty tools. </div>

Some of my favorite things ~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love <em>antlers </em>as you can see I have quite a collection and am always trying to add to it. My home is nestled in 100's of acres of woods and the deer are definitely a part of our daily lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Vintage books</em> ~ if you follow my work then you know I have a love affair with vintage books. I love them to craft up wreaths, garland, flowers, I decoupage their pages onto walls ( in my booth) even furniture and they are a necessity for decorating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Flower Frogs</em> ~ seriously these are genius have you ever used them ? Aside from being vintage and cool they are a must for flower arranging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love<em> Antique Linens/ doilies</em> ~ I use them everywhere and when they get stained or torn I turn them into rag wreaths or dye them to give them new life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those super chic glass decorative balls/orbs are from the Christmas Tree Store and of coarse my vignette wouldn't be complete without a birds nest. </div>

<br />
I think I can now add mixologist to my imaginary list of "yep I can do that". I felt like I was back in my bartender days mixing up cocktails and experimenting with a lil of this and a lil of that trying to find that perfect combo. Yep I think I nailed it I loved all the Annie Sloans Decorative Chalk paint recipes that I came up with while designing this dresser. I usually don't mix up a lot of paints when im working ~ my brush just gets dipped right into the can. So this was a lot of fun and what a great way to really get the most out of your ASCP.<br />

I used ASCP colors ~ Olive, Old White, Provence and for mixing purposes Graphite and Napoleonic Blue to come up with all these glorious colors used for this dresser. I didn't write down any recipes and my memory is horrible !~ dang it!!<br />

yeah I like to use stencils and I also love layering my painting techniques. Crackling is becoming all the rage right now, instantly I believe it adds drama and a vintage appeal to a piece especially when your working with a newer piece of furniture (like this dresser) instead of an antique.</div>

isn't it lovely?! <br />
The knobs got a coat of metallic spray paint.<br />
I love these pictures the way the sunset is bouncing of the wax causing the dresser to sparkle! <br />

<br />
the detail of the dark wax that was applied all over is stunning! Since this was a newer piece of furniture ( I believe my client said it came from TJ Maxx years ago) I really wanted to give it an old vintage feel with a whole lot of character. And nothing adds the look of time worn love like some dark wax.<br />

<br />
My more recent finished project is so super sweet I just couldn't wait to share it with the world! <br />
<br />
A friend of mine whom also is an antique dealer bought an entire house filled with glorious "junk" well actually not all of it was junk but it all was extremely dirty. From what I gathered this house sat vacant for approximately 10 years aside from the teenagers who visited often ~ uninvited. I am really surprised the antiques survived those kids. So anyway I got to go and pick out some pieces of furniture and one of the pieces I chose was this Chifferobe. I've had a couple chifferobes in my time and I've always just painted them white. Which is beautiful (not very creative), especially since most people use these in nursery's or children's room white seems appropriate. But lately I just can't seem to paint anything just white.<br />
<br />

Did you Notice the sides are stenciled? they remind me of little mini chandeliers. I did an allover stencil with Martha Stewarts metallic silver craft paint which was really pretty but it seemed just to bold for me even after distressing it so I then used a whitewash with ASCP Pure White and covered all of the stenciled sides. and wow did that do the trick now it in a way reminds me of muted vintage wallpaper. How chic! <br />
A lastly I applied clear and dark wax over the entire piece.<br />

<br />
Isn't it amazing how one persons sweet sentiments can change the whole vibe of your day? I was having a crap day then I came across someone (a complete stranger) that was just like a ray of sunshine. From that point on I had a smile on my face and instantly my mood was uplifted. It inspired me to be someone else rainbow in a cloudy sky. ( I think that is somewhat of a Maya Angelou quote)<br />
<br />
So today I went to visit my booth at<a href="https://www.facebook.com/A.Unique.House?viewer_id=120876914643937"> A Unique House Antique Mall</a>. And for the first time I was actually happy to see my booth a mess. And boy was it ever a mess everything was askew, but it made me happy because that meant that there were a lot of people coming through which means a lot of sales. I only wish I enjoyed cleaning my house as much as I love cleaning my booth. Needless to say I was there all day with my lil helper so if you come to visit and happen to see batman or cat women hidden inside something you'll know why :)<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures I was able to snap literally while trying to catch up w/ my lil helper as he was walking down the isle to leave.<br />

I recovered 5 lampshades last night. Here is one of my favorites ~ its so Shabby Chic and sooo girly. Adorned with vintage fabric covered in big bright cabbage roses, pink and green dangling beads, eyelet and vintage pompom trim, a fabric rosette, a crochet doily and some pearlish beads. <br />
Looks stunning on this hobnail milk glass vintage lamp! Right now I'm kinda regretting leaving this at the shop :)<br />

How cool is that ~ antique baby stroller wheels mounted to a wooden tray. Love the rusty industrial wheels against the creamy white tray then embellished with vintage beaded collars and handcrafted soaps. and oh I have to mention the super cute child size mannequin.<br />

The fireplace mantel is always changing and never finished if that makes any sense :) Very soon it will most likely be covered with Tulips, Bunny's, eggs and moss. Being an Antique Dealer the furniture in my home doesn't get to stay to long I'm constantly switching it out with new stuff especially chairs. Those chairs at the head of the table are already redone and ready to go to the shop. </div>

This is the winter look ~ I usually change the curtains in the summer, velvet just seems to heavy when its warmer weather. Notice that there is the plywood flooring showing under that rug? That is my next project I'm going to PAINT that plywood sub floor! I know crazy huh? The carpet that used to be there was just not salvageable (dang puppy) the corners were shredded and it need to be replaced. so in order to save money I'm going to paint the floors I've seen some gorgeous painted sub floors that by looking at them you'd never know that there isn't a "finished" floor. I'll be sure to blog about the whole process.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the Foyer I painted the walls with Martha Stewart's Metallic Paint I just love the way it shimmers and changes color with the lights. I should probably repaint it, but I don't know a yellowish/ gold is kinda neutral right? as far as selling purposes? I am going to switch out the antique chandeliers those are coming with me!</div>

So unfortunately its time for me to sell my home ~ so instead of doing fun furniture stuff and growing my business I've been consumed with tweaking my home to be sold. So many odd little things needed to be fixed everything needed to have a fresh coat of paint and oh the decluttering that needed to be done! I finally was able to get some pictures together of coarse I'm not satisfied there is still so much left to be done but I was on a deadline so I guess for now it is what it is. </div>

As promised a couple of days ago, I wanted to tell ya all about the latest Antique show that i did ~ the LaPlata Highschool Antique Show. I absolutely love setting up for shows, if you follow me on Pintrest then you've probably seen my shop ideas board. Its all about displays ~ one of if not the most favorite aspect of this business , I LOVE DISPLAYS and booth set up I love seeing the creative innovative ways dealers show off their finds/inventory. Really its all about the displays isn't that what draws you in to a space or keeps you coming back for more? Even if you don't realize it ~ it promotes a feeling. Most of us are visual people if we like what we see with out eyes then we want to touch with our hands and then fall in love with our hearts. :) I hope you fall in love with my displays ~ although i must say we (ME and Brenda frm Time and Again Antiques) decided to participate in the Laplata show literally a week before the show so there wasn't much of any elements of surprise here i was more like a robot just doing what needed to be done to have furniture ready in a week.</div>

Art deco dresser didn't Sell that day it is currently at my booth in A Unique House Antique Mall waiting for a new home. I painted it with Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint in Old White and Napoleonic Blue then finished it off with clear and dark waxes. It was so shinny I just loved the way it sparkled under the florescent lights in the gynasiuam.</div>

Also we had a pair of antique iron candelabras and an late 1800's gorgeous round oak frame that we converted into a chalkboard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love doing show and am already planning for my next one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a Fantastic Day ~ Everyday!</div>

Today I wanted to show you a before and after that I recently completed for a client. She had bought this at our store in Waldorf years ago although it was very cute it was also very worn and it was definitely in need of some loven. I think at one point in the conversation she had mentioned that she thought of taking it to the burn pile so that's when i knew i just had to save it :) I mean how could i live with myself if i let this darling little 3 drawer chest get destroyed! </div>

I began to sand it down and clean it up Unsure of how I was going to transform this piece but I had some thoughts floating around in my head. Going off of ideas I gathered from my client ... she like whimsical, mosaics, colors with a girly flair, vintage, pattern fabrics. Sounds easy and fun doesn't it?!</div>

Instead of Applying a fresh coat of paint I left the pink strips barley visible and the added the trio of black distressed diamonds on the drawers.</div>

I then went threw my scrapbook stash and choose coordinating papers with greens and blacks and decoupaged them onto the panel insets on both sides. As I was sanding down the entire 3 drawer chest bits of green were popping out ~ this cute little chest must have been green in another life. Which is why I used paper scraps in green to match all that chippy goodness shining through.</div>

There was about a 4 inch backsplash header piece on the top, that was perfect for adding the mosaic art of broken china. I don't know why but its so much fun taking a hammer to dishes and breaking them up :) I mainly used floral vintage china ~ I know some of you are probably thinking WHAT?? but I only break up pieces that are already chipped or broken. Sometimes at auction I purposely buy the chipped up dishes just for mosaics ~ I have a HUGE stash nobody ever wants the broken plates. Mosaics are pretty time consuming but what a fantastic way to resuse broken china.</div>

And lastly I Painted the inside of the drawers a bright bubble gum pink ~ can't get much more girly that that. I love the hidden surprise of painting the drawers a bold color. Plus it cleans and brightens up vintage pieces.</div>

I have one confession to make... Below is the "finished" picture getting ready to be delivered but then after speaking with this super cute 3 drawer chest's owner, I ended up painting the top Purple. I can't find my picture of the "Really Finished" Picture but let me tell ya ~ it looked awesome! It was the perfect shade of purple , I used Annie Sloan Decorative Chalk Paint custom mix of Louis Blue and Emperiors Silk. By painting the top a rich purple it really anchored the whole piece ~ it was a great addition.</div>
