Wreaths

I am planning on being a vendor at the upcoming Vintage Market in March, hosted by Tara Finch over at Junk Restore.
I have been a busy little bee making and thrifting to make sure i have enough inventory.

My sister in law Katy asked me to make her a spring wreath as well.

The one with all the tags is for the sale, the pink one is for Katy.

Funny story...

As i was gluing little robins eggs to the tag wreath, my daughter came in holding a real birds nest she had found outside. Funny little coincidences in life.

Cross Back Chairs

These are really nice chairs. I bought them from a nice older lady who was consolidating two homes.

She had several antiques that i wanted to buy, but I had to have some restraint :-)

Bachelor's Chest

I bought this dresser from a single guy who was about to move across the country. Before we left he had offered us almost everything in his house.

Peacock Green Dresser

I bought this from a local family, it wasn't in the best shape when I picked it up. It was the typical 1970's construction, not great but not as bad as you see now-a-days.

I do not have a before shot. But it was like a fake dark brown wood color.

I decided after I painted this LARGE dresser in such a bold color that I would age it. I like to use an oil based black stain for things like this. I wipe it on and use a wet towel to wipe it off and smear it around.

This was a fun project.

Walnut Dresser

I saw this on Craigslist and the gentleman who was selling it was a little older and didn't have email or text. I left a message and, just like the old days I waited for a few days until he called me back. In my area a dresser like this last about 2 hours at the most. This one was still available three days later, most likely because of the technical difficulties.

I have seen a lot of furniture, inside and out, and I haven't yet seen one that was this solidly and beautifully constructed. It was it great condition as it was, but I thought of painting it a gray color and I got butterflies in my stomach.
