Sharing another piece of furniture I finished during my extended vacation! I had this chest on chest in my laundry room for months....doing absolutely nothing...just sitting there. I mean, it was piled with stuff but the drawers were empty and I banged my shin on it frequently. I decided it was time for this thing to go! It was in … [Read more...]

August 22, 2014 By 6 Comments
I promised I would catch you up so I'll start back in the Spring with this antique chest I transformed using Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint. I used Mustard Seed Yellow and added some Ironstone to make it a bit softer. I used Ironstone to hand paint the dandelion design....no stencil...just free hand!

October 30, 2013 By 11 Comments
I have some majolica. It's not old majolica which I think costs a billion dollars or so. Mine came from TJMaxx about 10 years ago. All within a couple weeks. You know how it is at TJMaxx. They'll have a run of something and if you want some, you'd better get it right then. I bought most of these pieces then and I haven't seen it … [Read more...]
