Door to Rack Take II

This door is now a coat rack

 It was originally white and I painted it with grey and tan plus a dark wax finsih

 Just prop it up in any space - entry, bathroom, bedroom closet.. it's so versatile and great for rented spaces since it doesn't attach to the wall!

The lowest hook is perfect if you have a little one.

  However there's a good chance your kids stuff will still get thrown on the floor right next to it. 

Available in the Marietta Ga area for only $65 my friends.

Getting my Target Fix

I've been craving some Target shopping lately, but my schedule is a bit on the crazy side, so online windowing shopping will have to fill the void.

Here are the things I would purchase if I were an impulse shopper with cash to burn.

Lacquered Coffee Table

I've been waiting for the perfect piece of furniture to use Amy Howard's high performance lacquer on. 

When I saw this coffee table I knew it was it.

The design is so good. 

I love the lines and the detail along the legs.

And now I'm addicted to this spray lacquer. 

Available now at The Flea.

This, That and the other Thing

I made THIS coat rack from an old door

I'll be giving away THAT frame tomorrow morning on ReFound Vintages Facebook page

.

And the OTHER THING I did today was merchandise a Valentine's Day display

Valentines is only a month from today .. I'm one of the lucky ones who knows who they will be spending the evening with already.. you've seen her in the pictures above ;)

Giant Frame Fun

If you log on to pinterest for 30seconds or have been to a young couples wedding in the last 6months you've probably seen the picture frame/photo booth trend.

 Well friends, the frame I just painted is the Queen B of open-back, photo prop frames.

 My daughter is proof that an over-sized frame and a camera are just fun.

And the fact that this one is full of detail is pretty amazing.

 You want more examples of the fun? Here you go:

 

Goodness I love that girl.

Queen Bed

Often I buy pieces to paint and by the time they get to my garage I lose inspiration, and there they sit. 

In time, inspiration hits me again (or I get low on inventory) and I unearth the piece from the saw dust, rags and paint cans that have accumulated on it.

That is exactly how painting this bed came about. I bought it in November and numerous pieces came and went while this poor girl waited patiently for her turn to shine. 

sidenote: as I tell this story, Reba's song "Fancy" is playing in my head

 

Look at fancy now.. hand painted light blue with light grey. Distressed and waxed.

 I picture it in a room full of neutrals, linen and maybe burlap.

Hopefully whoever buys it will send me a pic of it in it's new home. 

Customer pictures make me happy.
