Teal Hutch

This little hutch was seriously ugly before it found it's true potential with some fun paint! Luckily the previous owners of my house left me some dark dark tealish blue paint that I was able to mix with some of my lighter blues and a little bit of green to make this awesome color! I love how it turned out & sort of wish I had a spot for it in my house!

I love the little green Hobby Lobby knobs!

Farewell little desk

So my $1 garage sale desk sold at the store last week...(tear). We had to find something to replace the other 2 items that sold, so I decided to part with my little blue desk. Unfortunately/fortunately it sold in 4 hours. So, I have been quite busy painting this awesome bookcase, hutch top & hutch. I can't wait to show pictures! Yay!

Anniversary Book

In November Bryan & I celebrated six years of marriage- and since the unemployment, we don't have much money to spend on one another....BUT I did still have a LOT of scrapbooking supplies. So, I put the supplies to use & I made him a little book about us.

Most of the supplies are American Crafts- but really, it's just a hodgepodge of what I had. And, I used my Zutter again! Yay!

Blue dresser

Unfortunately I don't have a before of this piece- it is one of my favorites & hard for me to let go of. It was just an ordinary brown dresser, but then I painted it my favorite turquoise blue & put some new crystal hardware on it...and proceeded to fall in love. Today it sold, which makes me both happy & sad. I was secretly hoping it wouldn't sell so I could just keep it for myself.

Sideboard

My mom picked this one up at a garage sale last year- it's an Ethan Allen Sideboard and it was $20...so I put a couple coats of this great gray we had leftover from the previous owners of our house, distressed it, put some black glaze on and polycrylic and put it in the shop!

After:
In certain light it has a little blue tint to it- I love it & I think it would be so great as an entry way table.

My little hutch

This adorable hutch was supposed to go in our boutique, but I loved it so much I had to keep it for myself. I found it with my mom at a garage sale this summer for $20...and she bought it, I painted it and yes, I kept it. =)

After:
Knobs from Hobby Lobby...love them!

New Store

My mom & I opened a little "boutique" in a local store called the Parker Shoppes here in Parker, Colorado. We sell refinished furniture (most of which I try to keep for myself) and little home decor items/frames, etc. It is a lot of fun! If you are ever in Parker here is the address:
