What's Been Up Lately

I haven't been Blogging since June?  Wow.  sorry about that if any of you have been looking to see what's new.

Went to NYC with my daughter-in-law and future daughter-in-law.  Great time!

I'm the skinny one in the middle!!!!!!

Have been busy painting and re-purposing.

This is Old White as well.

 

Put that in my booth space and in SOLD in a few days!

Old bedroom side table.  Old White and Duck Egg Chalk Paint

 

Painted cross on old cupboard door.

 

Rocking Chair Redo!!

A custom order to paint this chair for a classroom.  She wants it to read to her students.  Of course gotta do the mascot theme and school colors for her room.  Blue/white and Longhorms.

The before....

I've never had to actually refinish a chair.  The vaneer (don't even know how to spell it)  on the seat was buckling up and the paint was all chipping away.  Sanded it all over and ripping the top layer off the seat part.  Haven't gotten it all off yet...still working on it.  Hopefully when I prime it, it will seal it and no more buckling seat/wood.  Can't wait to start working my magic!

Finished project!!

Baby High Chair

This was a process for me.  A friend had her children's highchair in storage.  It definately needed some TLC, with broken legs, etc.

Painted it without putting the tray on it and realized the rabbit was too low to be seen. 

So not only did I add another rabbit to make it taller, I changed them from brown rabbits to white rabbits, a butterfly flew in, grass grew and the sky appeared.

May have to make another change.  The rabbit I was looking at had one of his ears perked up, kinda looks funny so guess I will change the ear.  Other than that...my Facebook friends tell me this is my best work!!!  Thanks ladies....

Shabby Chic Chalk Paint Frames

Found these two frames at Estate Sales.....cheap, cheap!  Brushed some chalk paint on them and  sanded off to distress.  Took down to Full Circle Antiques and put in my booth space.

$20.00 each!!!

Kitchen Cabinet Door Redone!

Love this old kitchen cabinet door.  Many uses and so many ideas.  I have several of these cabinet doors.  All I did was sand down the old white paint.  Love, love the REAL Original crackle paint on this one.

Wimberely Market

A special childhood friend and I went to the Wimberely Market.  She had some highschool friends that we stayed with for the weekend.  Great time.  I had never been to the market and was pleased.  It was awesome.  Found me some treasures to resale and to keep.  Am ready to go back in cooler weather.  Maybe in October.

A great crib/rocker that I plan on using as a planter or should I just sell it?

Bed Bench

I bought this treasure (headboard/footboard) on my Canton junking trip in April.  Yes, I was thinking of turning it into a bench when I purchased it.  Didn't have the time to build it, so asked some special friends if they would do it.  It turned out perfect.  I even got them to use some old cedar pickets that were around my parent-in-laws's home at one timne.  Pretty special there.

Love the old tractor part used for the rocker.  Thank you Ester and Jay McFall.

Custom Painted Antique Chair

A friend wanted a chair like one I had previously painted.  Found a chair!!! 

Even added a special touch..."C".

Mini Garden Greenhouse

I have always wanted one of these or at least to make one.  This was my first attemp.  Thought I did a pretty good job.  Can always improve and add more details/decorative pieces onto it.  Remember, I have tons of windows in my collection left over from my garden shed project.

I did put this for sale in my booth space at Full Circle Antiques in Beeville, TX.

Dumpster Diving..again.

I love driving through town running errands and POW...a treasure on the side of the street just asking for a new home.

Can't wait to paint this baby!  Oh the possibilities are limitless.

Junkin'

Went junking this morning and this is what I came home with.  6 chairs, 2 window screens, tool chest and 2 stools.  Bad thing about it,,,,I have so much in the barn already to work on and now 13 custom orders pending!!!!  Busy, busy, busy!

My Booth Space

Keep painting and adding furniture, etc. to my booth space at Full Circle Antiques in Beeville, TX

Refinished with old bench with Duck Egg the Olde White Chalk Paint.

This is a kitchen cabinet panel that I antiqued and painted a design on.  Hoping to get some custom orders from this.  Any theme is possible..frilly or not.

Picked up some old ceiling tiles of various sized when I went to Canton, TX.  Sanded it to get off loose paint, then distressed with Chalk Paint.  Also hoping to get some custom orders from this as well.  I do have it for sale in my booth space.

Found this great top molding at Canton as well.  Sanded it down a little and put a price tag on it for my booth space.

Antique chair Make Over!

My next project is for a dear friend who wants an old antique chair all dolled up!  As I cleaned up the chair, sanded it down and started to prime it...I kept getting the feeling that it was a pretty old chair and I shouldn't paint over it.  The seat part is rather thick and you can see the saw marks..I primed on.

Before.....

You will have to wait for the After....still a work in progress....

Chalk Painted Small Table

I'm at it again.  This is a beautiful small table.  It was antique green to begin with.  I sanded down to distress even more and added Duck Egg Chalk Paint, distressed and waxed.  It is really beautiful.  Looks ever better in person!

Painted End Table

Still using the Duck Egg Chalk Paint.  Refinished with end table.  It is for sale at my booth in Full Circle Antiques in Beeville.

Before......

After......

First attempts at painting furniture!!!!

Doing some furniture refinishing or rather Chalk Painting and distressing.  My first two attempts.

This was an small half circle side table.  Used Anne Sloan's Duck Egg Chalk Paint and Clear Wax on bottom.  Stained and varnished on top.  Put in my booth space at Full Circle Antiques in Beeville and it sold the first day!!!!  $85.00

someone had attempted to Shabby Chic this Chest of Drawers with white paint.  I sanded down a little and used the duck Egg Chalk Paint and clear Wax again.  New knobs.  It is $225.00 and is in my booth space at Full Circle Antiques in Beeville, TX  Already have a lady interested.

Canton Treasures

Totally enjoyed a trip to Canton with a wonderful friend.  Was away from home for 5 beautiful days.  We stayed at my husband's relatives and I got to see several of them.  In fact, 7 of the girls joined us for Saturday shopping.  Thank goodness I took my Cargo trailer.  It was filled with lots of treasures along with the back of my truck.  Have lots of ideas and plans to paint, paint, paint.  Hope I will make the time to get them done.

My biggest bargain as a vanity, bench, dresser and bed frame for $150.  Yes, for the whole set.  Can't wait to get my paintbrush on this find..

I purchased 2 more vanities, another dresser, 4 stools, 4 end tables, 6 child's step stools, a dry sink, headboard and footboard to make me a beautiful bench, wooden ladder, coal bucket, watering can, 2 washboards (planning to use as legs to a table), child's rocking chair, doll high chai, gourds and 3 cute small tables.

This should keep me busy for a long while!!!!
Look for before and after pictgures to follow!!!
