Coffee Table and Old Window.

Here is my latest creation! And I am very pleased with it. Now when I find old crates I know what to do with them! I screwed four together and added a wood top to it. Wheels were attached and voila a nice table!

And here is an old window with six of my photos added.
I have recently added a facebook page! So check me out! Thanks and enjoy!

New small Dresser, Mirror, Sign, etc.

A few weeks ago, my mom and I went to an auction. It was the first time I did any bidding; and I admit I was a little intimidated. But I got a good couple pieces to transform. Here is one. A small dresser that I painted with the colors provence and cream. I added a stencil between the knobs. And finished the top with a dark stain.

Here is a mirror I purchased at the auction too. I painted it old white and distressed the edges. It is an old mirror so I liked how it came out antique looking.

If you know me well, you know I have a love for good quotes. I have small notebooks full of them. And I wanted to make a sign using one. So I got some wood, sanded, cut and stained them. The quote is from Emily Dickinson.

And finally here is something new. I also like to take pretty pictures. So I have been thinking about how I can do something different with them instead of just frames. This is a molding piece from Lowes that I painted and distressed and added my picture too. I thought it was a cool decorative piece you could hang or just set up alone.

More dressers, dry sink, signs, table, chairs coming! Thanks for perusing.

Wedding signs

Here are the latest wedding gifts I have done for a friend. Future posts to come. A small dresser, wooden sign with a quote, coffee table, nightstand, and a craft I did with one of my pictures! Thanks for browsing:)

Desk #2

Here is the other desk I worked on. It is going to the Pre-school that I will be helping out with this year. I sanded the top and stained it a Dark Walnut and then painted the body in a cream with yellow. A friend recently gave me a nightstand so I am fixing that up now. And I have a dry sink as well to finish. But until then; enjoy!

The Desk.

This desk used to be mine. It was stored away up in the attic and I figured why not give it a makeover. It had veneer so I just painted over that with the color Duck Egg Blue and the accents are in a cream color. It was sanded and distressed and waxed to a finish. The chair was painted in the same cream and distressed. I picked out a blue paisley fabric I thought matched nicely. The inside of the drawers have the same fabric inside to bring it all together. It turned out to be a great desk once I finished.

Shirk's Dresser

Here is the dresser I have worked on this past week. My friends had wanted it painted white and the drawers outlined in a pretty green color that matches their bedroom. The top was sanded down and stained a nice red mahogany. I think it turned out nice. Hopefully they will think so too! Later this week hoping to finish two desks to post!

Sorry for the absence..

I know I haven't posted anything for a while! I apologize. Here is a sign I made recently for a good friend. I have been working this week on a dresser for some friends. So hopefully will get pictures posted once it is finished! I am also painting a desk. And I have lots of ideas floating around in my head for new signs, jewelry holders, coffee tables, etc. I just need to get supplies and find some good deals! Enjoy!
