A Sailor’s Life for Me Come on if you agree Hoist the sail and let’s be free! Can you smell the sea? Can you feel the spit of the waves on your sun drenched skin? The Dylan Dresser will have you feeling as if you’re sailing on the high seas. Being a mother of two…
I think you’re gonna love this one… May I introduce you to the Leighton Dresser? This color is luscious. I swear it almost matches my front door and shutters. It certainly is very close to the blue in my logo. So this one makes my heart skip a beat. What about you? First let me…
Meet Ivy. “Ivy” is just the prettiest shade of green I think I’ve ever come across. Fusion Mineral Paint sent me some samples of their new range of coastal colors The Michael Penney Collection. Oh, my goodness I’m so in love with them! I’ll be sharing a few others this week, but this dresser was done in…
I think you might get why this one is named Fern! I shared this makeover on Royal Design’s Paint + Pattern magazine the other week. If you want to see the in depth tutorial click here. I found this vintage dresser, probably the 1920s, at Goodies II in Scituate Harbor. I knew when I saw…
Meet Lila: I’ve been waiting to paint her forever. I knew, I just knew she had to be the new Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint color Bergere. It is a soft blue grey and in Miss Mustard Seed’s European line. I shared with you an image of her and her partner after a day out yard sale-ing over…
Disclosure: I partnered with Fusion Mineral Paint on this post. They sent me some paints, tints and brushes to try. Guess what? I love it! This is Harlow. Yes, she’s from the 1930s and she’s spectacular. My friend Dan found her and these are the photos he sent me: And open (before): As you can…
As promised, a furniture makeover! Meet Tug, the Grain Sack Dresser! I actually finished this one before Christmas but didn’t have a chance to pull a blog post together until now. I LOVE this style. You may remember that I’ve done a few of these in the past. Conor’s dresser is very similar: I also…
Meet Jameson, he’s my latest before & after:
Meet CoCo! She appears French but is actually an American. She has such pretty and feminine details. You may have noticed her in my Open Studio post, but I felt like she really needed a post all her own.
Sometimes furniture is just crying out to be painted. I mean really crying. This dresser was solid wood. Perfect drawers and solid body. I think it is probably from the 1960s. It was just looking very shiny and had that yellow style stain on it.
Happy Monday! I’m so excited for you to meet Owen! He’s my latest and greatest! He’s really the life of the party; always up for an adventure whether it is globe trotting or being the hero. But he wasn’t always so handsome…
