You may remember I picked up three pieces of furniture the weekend of July 4th. While I was at Haven the only piece of furniture in my booth I had painted Duck Egg sold. So, it was an easy decision to paint this cabinet in the coastal color is that has become a signature in my booth.
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.
A few months ago my parents saved the fencing that used to be around my childhood home, Loblolly Manor from the burn pile. The boards were in pretty rough shape but I was able to marry the weathered fencing with an industrial style shelving unit that was previously holding paint cans in the garage. Here’s a look at how all of the details 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.
With the workbench turned potting station completed, I turned my attention to painting the mobile workstation I brought home on the same weekend I brought home the workbench. I really like the simplicity of how the workbench turned out and I know my customers will as well. It was my inspiration for the workstation but it didn’t start out this way at all.
Sometimes I’m so busy painting china cabinets, buffets and dressers I don’t have time to paint smaller inventory items. These pieces don’t bring a lot of profit but they’re important in helping to achieve a certain look in my booth space. I usually squirrel these pieces away in my office or inventory closet until an opportunity presents itself and I’m able to paint a group of smaller items all at once.
