Splash of bright colors brightens any room!

loved the clawfoot and details on this piece. decided to use this as a tv stand for my kids playroom. Base coat was painted grape parfait and drawers cant miss lime. Hardwares and clawfoot was painted black. Also i added some stencil decals on top. it came out wonderfully. this was a time consuming project but was well worth it.

Rustic and Chic Accent Table

found this little bad boy at the salvation army. all wood sturdy and heavy. fell in love with the peg legs and aging hardwares. i love how it has 3 sized drawers so it can be used as an end table or nightstand. i went ahead and painted it satin black and then i sanded the top and stained dark walnut,. i love how the top came out rustic. because they had used 2 different types of woods so it took differently with the stain. but the way it turned out matched the rest of the distressed look.

From drab 2 FAB!

this was a great find at goodwill. it was old and dated but had great details, like vintage hardwares, dovetailed drawers and beautiful carvings throughtout. hubster wanted it to look vintage and antique so i said hey why not. 

i handpainted it with mellow mustard gold from wallmart paints, and stained throughout with dark walnut. i made sure to make the carvings pop so i put a little more extra stain to those parts and edges. really love the way these turned out. as usual the hardwares is my weakness. i love this piece to pieces!

My new (old) Nightstands

Vintage pet bed luggage

When i first saw this on Pinterest i couldn't wait to do it myself. It wasn't easy really finding vintage luggage because if you did they were WAY OVER PRICED. But i happened to be at my usual spot (Goodwill) and came upon this little one for only $7. I couldn't resist. I looked around for some decent throw pillows to save me some sewing (which i really need to learn how to do) and found a pair for $2 each. I googled the steps to attaching the legs and such and found the perfect tutorial. The attach link has all the info. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/177690/list/DIY-Project--Vintage-Suitcase-Dog-Bed

I purchased the 1x5 wood for $3 the t-nuts for $1.50 and the legs for $3 @ my local Home Depot. I went ahead and drilled the holes onto the 1x5 and on the luggage and made sure the legs fit and was secure. After, i spray painted the legs to what i had available in the garage, which was metallic bronze. Waiting a few  hours i re-attached the legs and voila! This project in total cost me about $28. If you had some scrap woods laying around im sure it would be cheaper to use those for the legs. I just wanted to be fancy =)

Shutter Jewelry Holder

Had to share this great find at the flea market a couple of months ago. Thanks to Pinterest i wanted a unique jewelry holder. I bought this old window shutter for $1. I wish i had bought the rest that she had but i wasn't thinking at the time lol. I didn't do much to it but add the hooks which was purchased at Home Depot. If you wanted to, you can paint, distress and add new hardware to give it more shabby chic feel. But i wanted to stay rustic.
