1960's Bold and Stenciled Dresser

If you want an accent piece in your home...this is it! This 1960's vintage dresser is done in yellow-lime color, with white drawers and antique copper colored knobs! I have stenciled a leaf design and heavily distressed it to give it a more rustic feel to it. You have to see it to truly appreciate this piece. She stands 43 inches tall, 18 inches in depth, and 33 inches wide! She is truly one of a kind...I wanted to do something very different and step out of my comfort zone...and I think I did just that!
$150 KEEPING THIS PIECE!!!!
Don't let the skinny legs fool you, it is very sturdy!

The leaf design was stenciled using a sparkly black spray paint!

Chippy Paint look!

This was her before! Can you believe it? I drilled holes to put the copper knobs in.

Vintage Side Table For Sale! SOLD

Side Table in Shabby Chic Blue and White: SOLD

I love this side table and I hope you can appreciate it as much as I do. It is one of my thrift store finds, and I am very fortunate to have friends who support my habit of hauling furniture! I was so excited to have sold my first piece of furniture today...to an artist! And gettting a compliment from a fellow artist is AWESOME! Hope they will enjoy it as much I enjoyed redoing it!  But nonetheless, here is my second piece for SALE: She is done in the faintest color blue, and the intricate carved drawer was done in white with the original pull handle...and of course distressed and finished with Tung oil. Thank you all so much for you continued support!

$40 SOLD


She looks more beautiful in person, I promise!

First Item for Sale!!! SOLD

Shabby Chic Child's Writing Desk and Chair: SOLD

If you you knew what I went through to get this table...I almost went to the emergency room with an old typewriter in my hand coming out of a thrift store! What an experience is all I can say...regadless, the child'sd desk is done in Tiffany Blue and white, distressed, finished in Tung Oil, and paired with a white vintage chair!

What I am working on

It has been such a busy week with my birthday weekend and my husband coming home from his 6 week training in Mississippi. We also traveled to Bismarck to spend some time with our friends, and celebrate a special little boy's birthday! Now, back to life, back to reality..in good ole Minot! I will be starting my full time job in the next weeks too! This summer I have decided to take only one class so I do not feel overwhelmed. My hubby has decided to start taking one class this summer too! But no worries, I will still be posting blogs and working on projects...it is my ME time! Something about working on furniture makes me happy! Anyways, my next project is gonna take awhile to do! I usually finish projects within a week. But this one OMG, so much work! It is so old and beat up, that it needs all the steps to put her back in shape. I have stripped the veneer on each side because it was starting to tear and lift. But regarldess, it is ready for some good sanding. I will tell you more about her once she is all done but here is a sneak peak of my latest project:
All I can say is, I am excited to have her in my daughter's room!!
