Headboard, bench, and crib upcycle.

Howdy all, it's been another week and here I am sharing some more finished projects that will be available to purchase at the upcoming craft fair.  First an old picture frame turned FULL size headboard.  I love how simple and vintage this feels...if only I had a guestroom with a full size bed to put it in :)...

 a bench in burlap stamped fabric.  This bench is HEAVY, metal, and would be perfect on a covered porch! Because it is so big I am selling this NOW instead of waiting for the fair. Let me know if you are interested!

Also, another chalkboard made from an old crib that was donated to me :) Hate the recalls, but there are soooo many fun things to repurpose a crib for.  Here's one.

More to come, but it seems as if I am running out of time and fast!  We'll see what last minute projects I will be able to crank out in time for the fair.  Hope you like!

Hutch, drop leaf, accent table, antique desk and more chalkboards!

Just adding some more items to my inventory and giving you locals a heads up on what to expect in my booth.  First, this headboard has been painted in a gray/beige paint and distressed. The inside is done in chalkboard paint. I drew the message with a girly room in mind, but that could be adjusted to suit the girl/message of your choice.

 The hooks on the bottom are so darling with crowns behind the glass in soft pink and aqua tones.  Perfect for hanging jewelry or other items.

 This sign is done in chalkboard paint as well with two antique jars planking either side.  I went with a fall/thanksgiving message but this could be used all year long by interchanging the message and flowers in the jars.

 This drop leaf table is so adorable! I seriously have tried to find a place for it in my home but the truth is I would have to start over with my existing decor and I am just not ready to do that yet :) It only has one drop side but would be so cute as a sofa table or entry table depending on the space.  It could even work as an extra wide nightstand. It is also painted in a Gray/beige like color with a stenciled red damask pattern and a brown glaze over the top. Love it!

 And last but not least is this cute little yellow distressed round table.  Perfect for adding a soft yellow to a room. This would function well as and oversized end table between two large chairs or even as a coffee table in a small room.

 

Here is the hutch/buffet I have been working on. I can never get enough of that bright vibrant red in my life and since it is the perfect entertaining color, why not paint it on something going in the dining area!

 This is the desk I have been working on, and while it isn't technically completed (it still needs the casters on and the shelf lined) it is close enough to post I think :) This one truly looks so much better in person than sitting in my dark kitchen but those of you planning on attending the craft fair won't have to take my word for it, you can decide for yourselves! I handpainted the branch leaf thing over turquoise paint with a charcoal glaze.  The hardware on this piece is what really makes it work in my opinion.  This one would look so chic in the right space.

So there you have it, it's friday night and I think I'll be taking it easy with the fam this weekend.  There's always next week to work. Have a great weekend everyone!

Another bench, chalkboards, and sneak peek!

Oh boy, where to begin! I have been oh so busy and I am happy to show you some of my progress today.  First, I finally finished this bench, I sold its gray "twin" last week and loved how it turned out so much that I just had to make another.  This one I finished in a celery/almond like color.  Love the extra wide seat that allows for all kinds of decorative pillows. This one would be so cute on a porch with some fall decor!

 Here's a closer shot of the crackly paint and glazed goodness I just love! Loooove it!

 I have also been finishing up some chalkboards.  You might remember this one from a couple months ago...today I changed out some knobs and added the blue porcelon roses instead followed by a handwritten "Bed and Breakfast" sign by yours truly.  I love the words with the fact that the top is a headboard! Perfect!

 This one just needed some cute hardware and something written so "Let it Snow" came to mind, perfect for all winter and so cute with stockings, scarfs and hats, or ice skates hanging from the hooks!  As with all things chalkboards you could make it function for any space you wanted though.

 Oh and here is my "sneak peek" at the desk I mentioned last week...its coming right along and I am loving the metallic thing going on here. Just a few more coats of paint and some finishing touches (possibly castors) and it will be all ready for the craft fair!

I have so much more to do including a kitchen hutch/buffet combo, an oversized end table, and a drop leaf table for starters...those will have to wait until next week ;)  Thanks for indulging me in this crazy passion of mine, I am so going to take a painting/building vacation in November!
