This piece was my most popular by far. I found this sad cabinet at the local thrift store and thought it would be the perfect  project to try out glazing. The body was painted cream and glazed with Van Dyke. It took a while with sanding and wiping back the glaze to get it how I wanted it, but I'm pretty happy with it!

I titled this piece "Mint Julip" and it kept autocorrecting to Julio, so we just went with it. Julio was painted in Mint Green Chalk paint,then sanded back so the wood grain would come through. White highlights were added and a spray of Pearl Effects for added luster. Silvered Metal embellishments and of course... a GF top coat!

This project was a fun hash of Patina Green over lamp Black Milk Paints. The fun design allowed me to apply the paint in various directions to achieve the pattern. Sanded and covered with a top coat.

Solid White Ash 12 drawer dresser that was given a new look. Sage green Chalk paint paired with sillver accents and a pearl effect for sparkle.

Electric Kelly green paired with brown glaze to make this vintage showpiece. 

This was my first painting project ever. I love these matching tables- contrasting grays and silver accents. Original French provincial hardware. 

This Blue hombre dresser was made by painting the body with Snow White Milk paint, then gradually adding Chalk White to Ford Blue Chalk Paint. The effect is perfect with a gradual fade that inspires.

This dresser was a rescue on the side of the road. I couldn't believe someone would get rid of a solid wood dresser! This hombre look was created using GF Coral Crush milk paint as the deepest color, then adding an increasing 1/4 part Snow White milk paint to the coral to achieve the color pallet. Fresh white knobs and a fun floral patterned lines the drawers. These colors made me happy.

This has to be the most well made piece of furniture I have worked with. Made of 100% solid hard White Ash. One drawer alone weighs a ton! A beautiful Sage green with silver accents. Can be used as a dresser or storage in the bathroom, dining room etc.

 Grayish-blue with silver highlights and pulls that make me happy. Can be used as a buffet, console table,sofa table, entryway table etc. Heavy piece- great construction.

This little nightstand was begging for a renew. Light and dark pink colors pair perfectly with a fun print curtain. Complete with comphy fluffy pillow to make a perfect little palace for your pup. One drawer to keep leashes, toys etc. A fun project that brightened up the space.

This drawer turned dog bed is one of a kind. Hand cut into a headboard with added feet (made from wooden christmas ornaments) and of course a new paint job. Dark and light grays bring out the wood pattern and a little adornment for details!

This little table was fun to do! I call iy Gatsby for hopefully obvious reasons. Blue chalk paint with gold highlights that make the details pop!

Ok- I DID happen to have a baby in the span of that year-which did slow things down a little, but it was well worth it. Whenever I had a spare moment, I would sneak out to my garage and stencil a bit of it. There was plenty of sweat from a sweltering 120 degree garage in the summer and a bit of frozen fingers that wouldn't quite paint in the chill of winter. I ended up hand tracing each and every angle since I didn't like the bleed from the stencil. It was a tedious labour of love, but I will remember this project fondly.

These sweet little tables add a bit of fun to any room. Chalk painted, then stenciled and finally sealed with General Finishes High Performance for lasting durability of that great design!
