sweet little vintage hutch

 Once in a while I come across something that

pulls at my heartstrings. . .this was one of those pieces.

 

The curves, the lines, the turned legs, and overall design. . .very charming :)

 

 

 

One of my cute clients called me wondering if I'd like this. . .

ummm. . .heck yeah! 

It only took a second for me to know exactly where she was gonna go. . .

Since I knew that this was going to be a keeper for a very long time, I decided

to give her a timeless but classic finish with antique white, and a little

minor distressing to show a hint of wear and tear.

 



She fits nice and snug between the kids' rooms at the top of the landing. . .

 



 

The inside was kept in its original form for a nice contrast

against the white. . .not to mention I love the warmth the wood provides.

 

Pieces like this remind me of a more simple, slow paced life. . .

and who doesn't need to be reminded of that every once in a while? :)

French Country Entry Door

I am usually a pretty conservative person, however every once in a while we're allowed to do something a little extravagant right?? My front door was needing a new paint job and frankly,

I was getting a little bored of the brown. . .this door needed a little pop :)

 

 

Here's how it originally looked, and I really liked it. . .but when things

begin to seem a little dull in my life, I pull out the paint and get to work.

                                                                         

    

 

Last week, while strolling through Gardner Village, I spied this

ADORABLE

aqua door that looked very much like mine. . .and I was smitten.

Paint rarely scares me but something about painting my front door this color

made me REALLY nervous!

 

Oh, but it's such a cute door!

 

After holding up a few samples, I decided that blue would compliment

the colors on my house. . .so, I went for it. . .GULP!

 

Here's the color I came up with. . .it's a combination of two colors I had

in my garage and it turned out just the way I wanted.

I love it when that happens :)

 

This door had alot of detail that I decided to do a French Country

Overcoating technique on, which gave it a worn & timeless appeal. . .

 



Next, it recieved an oil glaze rub down to polish off that

old world style I was going for. . .something that looks like it was pulled

right out of a vintage cottage in the french countryside. . .

 

Ahhh, YES!

 



 

Now this door is one that says

WELCOME HOME :)
