Duck egg blue dresser

Hello there. I have been having lots of fun painting new pieces. I am stocking up for the street fair this Sunday. This is my first year being upstairs in Secondhand Rose during the Street Fair. Last October I was a new vendor with a space downstairs in the basement. I can't wait to see how this event turns out. I will be there all day, talking and helping customers.

Here's a picture of my most recent piece. It was so sad, with lots of veneer issues that the "veneer whisperer" removed! I really love the contrast of the dark stained top and the light painted colors. The details were distressed and lightly dark waxed to add dimension and character.

It was very hard not to keep this one!

Fabulous Blue French Dresser - Custom Chalk Paint

I finally finished the matching dresser for the girls desk that I did a couple weeks ago.  You can see that post here.  The dresser seemed to be sloping in the middle so I added some bracing to the middle section and it's perfect!

The desk just sold last Saturday...

Here she is all finished and in the shop!

and...my crazy work space.

before hardware...

and all done.

Beautiful 2 toned Dresser with Custom Chalk Paint

Here is a piece that I am in love with!  I was so excited to paint it that I completely forgot to get a before and after picture.

New pieces headed to the shop...

Hello there...Happy Sunday.

I got so excited with the furniture that I picked up this week...that I forgot to take before pictures.  So, please forgive me.  Here's what I've been working on.  :)

This is a little Drexel Heritage Nightstand and Mirror, that I picked up at an estate sale in Sacramento last week.  It was that white with yellow trim, and had some painted floral decor on it.  I am sure in it's time, it was fashionable that way...but I just love how it is now.  I used a light minty green on the drawers and mirror, and used old white for the nightstand base and original hardware update.  This piece is just wating for a new home!

it's hard to see, but this little table actually has light baby pink stripes on top.  The rest of the table has a light coating of Old White and was heavily distressed.  I really love this little antique table, the details on the sides are so charming!

I just love this one too...another dainty antique table...it was so sad in it's before state!  I might actually have the before of this one, I'll add it later.  :) I used a blue and white stripe on the top...and lightly dry brushed all the details over the blue on the base of the table.

Have a great week!  I have a garage full of furniture to paint before the street fair...so please forgive me for the next month...my posts will be more consistent come mid May!  :)
