Since the July 4th weekend was a long one, I was able to steal an extra day and travel a few towns over to find a few new treasure haunts. I fell in love with this dresser as soon as I saw it. Given my love for all things neutral, this French Linen Painted Dresser is going to be really hard to take to my booth at The Pickers Market. Here are all the details of how this dresser came together…
A few weekends ago, I was lucky enough to be able to haul some new pieces of furniture home. One of the dressers was perfect for a new brand of paint my parents bought me to try out this past Christmas. Since most of my customers prefer shades of sea glass, I decided to give it a go. Here are the details of how the Maison Blanche Painted Dresser came together.
The same day my mom and I worked to complete the neutral inspired chair transformation for Loblolly Manor, we started working on a set of chairs for one of my sisters. She bought these chairs at a recent yard sale for a whopping $10 and while I was at her house a few weeks ago she asked me to give them a coastal inspired makeover.
We’re entering into a busy tourist season at The Pickers Market and this Duck Egg painted entry table will fit perfectly in my coastal inspired booth.
Have you ever been in a thrift store, an old barn or even a yard sale and completely fallen in love with a dresser? Then you pull out the drawers and this obnoxious odor hovers just under the tip of your nose. Here are 7 tips to help remove smelly odors from old dresser drawers.
I’m in the midst freshening up some of my favorite spaces at home. I still love the direction everything is headed with warm neutrals and varying shades of white. I recently had the opportunity to review a Weatherwood stain called Reclamation so we built a cabinet to hold my growing ironstone collection.
Some of my best selling pieces of furniture at The Pickers Market are pieces painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Duck Egg. I’ve painted a lot of pieces in this color and a year and a half later it continues to be a customer favorite. As soon as I saw this primitive cabinet I knew Duck Egg would be the perfect shade.
You may remember back in January, I featured a table we use for the back patio area. The stain color I originally used had more blue tones than gray so I decided to give the farmhouse style table another makeover using paint instead of stain.
One of the first pieces of painted furniture I ever transformed and sold came from one of my aunts. She found this table while out treasure hunting for me one day. It’s painted in one of my favorite colors by Valspar and is a beautiful shade of turquoise blue.
When I spotted this workbench it was weathered, beat up and covered with bits of garden inventory. I had no idea what size it was or how much it even cost. But I knew it would make a great potting station and was inspired by the many worn signs I’ve seen lately created from reclaimed wood that read Herboriste.
If you read yesterdays post, I mentioned my mom and sister helped me find two pieces of furniture to paint a few weekends ago. This 3-drawer nightstand was in fantastic condition and even on wheels. I really liked the style and the wood grain so I decided to add a light wash in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Country Grey.
A few weeks ago I took the very last piece of furniture I had on hand to my booth at The Pickers Market. My Mom and sister helped me find this buffet one Saturday afternoon. Since the color palate in my booth mainly consists of pale blues, greens, whites and greys, I decide to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint French Linen on this piece.
