Before and Afters
I want you to FINALLY meet the No. 16 twins: I know I promised these before Christmas. But. It was Christmas. Also, I decided to change the color from Crisp White to Bone. So I painted them twice. Give me a stinking break. Here they are BEFORE: And again, NOW: We immediately fell in love with the pair and swiped them up from an estate sale awhile back. Not only did they had KILLER legs, but its hard to find Read More
No. 13 is my Nonni’s most favorite number in the world. I know some people think its bad luck…WHATEVER. I remember getting 13 Christmas gifts as a child from my Nonni strictly because it was her favorite…so to me, its a pretty good number. All that to say? No. 13 is a special piece, so I had to make him a DOOZIE. He is a big beautiful BEAST of a piece and I adore him. {No. 13 Gray Buffet available Read More
We kept the vintage wallpaper on the inside but cleaned it up and sealed it with a clear coat…so it is all nice and clean to store your things… Isn’t it just PERFECT?!! {No. 12 vintage white trunk 215.00 on etsy} *** No. 12 HAS FOUND A NEW HOME AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE*** Cheers! s
We are pretty stoked about No 11…..not only did he turn out better than we DREAMED, but he was SO much fun to create! Take a look… He started out with some pretty bad scratches and broken hardware…but with a little repair… …he is the PERFECT shade of turquoise now… BUT that is not all folks….we experimented with paper for the first time and IT WAS AWESOME… This was an old oversized calendar I bought in Italy in 2003…here is Read More
I want you to meet No. 8 … she needed some love… but there was something about the shape that I just love… we found a key at the estate specialist that actually works… we chose a “bone” color that is just perfect with it’s shape and kept the original hardware… ….it will be VERY hard to see this one go… OH! While I was taking pictures, Nathan found this beautiful butterfly in our front yard- so sad…but really pretty… Read More

Yes, I am naming my furniture. Since we are selling some of the pieces we work on and they are starting to pile up, I have been trying to come up with a way to catalog/name each piece. So, I am naming them with a number. Don’t like it? Get over it. We love Six. He is a beautiful french gray adorned with anthropology hardware. Can’t. Get. Enough. Of. Him. Six is kind of a big deal because he went Read More
No more junk in this trunk! I had to say it. I had this trunk filled with all kinds of crap memory stuff. It sat in my hallway for YEARS- not months. I finally cleaned it out and gave it a face-lift. Because I can. {before} Obviously, I opted for yellow. Because I can. {after} For now it resides in my bathroom- to be filled with towels/linens/more stuff. The trunk will probably change locations in my home 8 times this Read More
I used to have a glass dining room table with chairs that matched and before Ella was born, I sold them because I can’t stand glass. Fast forward 18 months or so. I now have a simple dark dining room table from ikea and I had the brilliant idea to collect misc chairs from yard sales/estate sales/goodwill and re-paint and re-cover them all for my dining room. SUPER. This was an excellent SUMMER project, but it was the dead of Read More
