A Year of Painted Furniture
Did you guys have a Merry Christmas? I’m still in the midst of family togetherness, eating Twizzlers out of my stocking and waking up to pillow fights with my niece and nephews. I know it’s going to be back to reality and a busy schedule soon but until then I’m going to soak up every moment of being with them that I can.
We have some fun things planned for this week and we’ve already scheduled two day trips in the month of January that I’m excited about. We also put a race on our calendar this year so I’m going to have to get out of cookie mode soon and into training mode. All of this planning for 2015 led to a conversation about how quickly 2014 flew by. It’s been crazy!
I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the furniture pieces I’ve painted in 2014. You won’t be surprised that most of them are white. But my booth space is in a quaint little beach town and I love white so I’m totally ok with that 🙂

Some pieces needed a ton of work while others needed just a fresh coat of paint. I did sell a few things that I didn’t paint at all and I even painted a few pieces in shades of sea glass.

Paris Grey also made an appearance in my booth this year. This was one of my favorite transformations. I can’t wait to start using some of the new Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors I received as presents.

Dearest CoCo…I am so happy that your holiday season is still going strong 🙂 I cant wait for you to share your family adventures and learn more of what’s in store for your 2015! Cheers to a marvelous New Year 🙂
Vicki, we’re having such a great time! I think the littles are excited to be hanging with me all the time 🙂 They’re lucky kids ha ha! Miss you!
Good to see you back in cyberspace! And glad you are still enjoying time with your family
Thanks so much Liz, I’ve missed you guys for sure and I can’t wait to catch up with you when I get home! Sending you hugs, CoCo
Wow! You were busy in 2014 but every piece was beautiful. I happen to like the white 😉
Enjoy your new year and keep on painting! Hugs!! Angie
Thank you for all of your sweet comments, Angie, I love the white too but I’m going to be really excited to start using new neutrals 🙂
What beautiful transformations. I look forward to seeing what you create in 2015. Happy New Year my friend. Love and prayers.
Thanks so much, Renee. I can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for us both sweet friend. Many blessings for a very Happy New Year!
Wow Coco! These are only “some” of the pieces you’ve redone? That is impressive ~ both in terms of DIY & time management!! These all look great. We are still working on the same 4 pieces we started back in the summer. I still <3 the sea glass painted craft cabinet. Keeping my eyes open for a similar piece I can redo, though it could be 2016 before I get to it 🙂 Happy New Year friend!! Bwg ~~~
It’s amazing that I was able to get that many pieces painted, Bobbi! I think sometimes I forget all the furniture I’ve saved from the landfill. It’s a labor of love that doesn’t feel like labor at all. I wish I lived closer to you, we could rehab together! Love and hugs sweet lady! CoCo
