A little housekeeping...


I've finished a few projects up lately despite the oppressive heat that I wanted to share with you!  Paint does funky things in the kind of heat we get here in RVA in the summer so my projects have slowed down a bit but I wanted to share a few little ditties.

Class and Trash bench....


turned shabby chic goodness!




Remember my friend Jennifer's laundry room bookcase she had me to paint, knotty pine popping through and all...


Love the gray! 



Unfortunate Goodwill bamboo-ish frame...


turned snazzy memo board (if someone had told me I would be painting things gold 2 years ago I would have called them crazy...but gold is the new black...I think?!?!  If not, someone please chime in!


I've added some of these to my booth at Through the Garden Gate.  Not my friends bookcase, that would just be mean!  I already sold one of the benches (oh happy day!) but I have one more there.
So that's that!  What have you all been up to lately?

  2. You have been so busy! I love everything. I agree that gold is back! I'm thinking of adding it to my living room/office in a brushed finish. :) And I want that bench. OMG.

  6. I visited your space at Through the Garden Gate and lovedd it. I even took home the ladder magazine rack and a frame. I love how benches are popping up everywhere- they make a room so cozy!
