Chris&Collette

This week I had the pleasure of capturing some sweet moments between my friend Collette and now my new friend Chris! The just recently got engaged and are planning on a next summer wedding. Blessings to them as they begin planning their marriage!!

Old Shutter Remade..

This old shutter was found and painted on with two of my favorite verses from the Pslams. I then added some old hooks to be able to hang things from; scarves, hats, jacket, etc. The middle part is filled with some pretty paper. I liked how it turned out. Maybe next shutter I will add a chalkboard part to it or a pin board... so many ideas!!

Last Two.

Here are the last two chairs for my mom. The first one was painted green and I decided to paint a cream color overtop and distress. The last one is a violet color. I wasn't sure if the color would be too bright but I ended up liking it! Have some more projects in the works! Keep tuned.

Oh How I love signs...

It is true. Signs are cool. The first one I recently tried out is a french sign. I believe it is for a chocolate store. I was thinking of adding either barn rope to it to hang by or chains. Still deciding. The rest are some signs I did for two of my sister's friends. I hope they like them!

Aqua Child's Chair

My mom picked up a couple children's chairs for me to paint. Here is the first one I have finished! As you can already tell I really love old distressed looking pieces. And that is what I did here.

The Dresser..

Here she is. And yes she is a girl. At least in my mind. The first picture is a before and the rest are afters. I found her outside a shop for $15... and so she has some age issues but overall I think she has great character. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be when I saw her but it all came together. This is the first dresser I have tackled and will be keeping my eyes open for more low cost dressers to transform. I painted her in a grey and then in the details added the color provence. I stained the top dark to help set it off. The edges of the drawers and body are lightly distressed. For a practice dresser I am very pleased with how she turned out! And the sign on top is something I recently did as well.

This week I am headed to the beach so there probably won't be any more posts this week. And I need to replenish my stock of furniture to do! Maybe a trip to goodwill is in store soon.

Signs... Signs.. and more Signs....

For those of you checking my blog and finding there have been no new posts... I apologize! I am working on signs for people to give as gifts... so I won't be able to post what those look like until they are given. Wouldn't want to ruin any surprises! But here is a sign that is for no one in particular. I am thinking I may add some white hooks to the bottom when I come across some cool ones! I am also 99% finished with a dresser and hopefully will get some photos of it up soon. And another reason I haven't posted very much is I am hanging with my sister while she is home from Hawaii for a short time! I think sister time trumps computer time any day!
