Zen

I brought this fabric back from Korea and have been dying to use it!  It has a very asian feel, hence the name Zen.  Plus while working on the mad dash of kitchens we had to find some zen to keep from FREAKING OUT!  Ok, really though, it has been such a pleasure to work on all these Christmas presents!




The fridge will probably get a metal sheet in the doorway after the holidays.  It was on my radar then somehow completely dropped off.  Sigh. 



Forget Me Not

Yeah, there are no forget me nots in the fabric of this piece, but the blue, for some reason, really drew our eyes down to the bottom.  So, Forget Me Not it is!







Emory

We always tell people these kitchens are kid tested and we are serious!  Piper was determined to play with Miss Emory's kitchen while she was in her photo session yesterday.  This piece went to an adorable family that was leaving town.  They did Christmas early and I cannot wait to hear what their little one thinks!!




Love this sweet little spoon with a flower 



Side open door!!

Meal Time for Dolly

I originally bought this chair to refinish for my daughter.  She is a little young and with a move pending next summer I decided someone could probably enjoy it sooner and possibly as a Christmas gift.  It is pink underneath and where it is distressed that peaks through.  I just love the way it turned out and, honestly, almost didn't take it down to Brocante.  Buuuuut, I will find Miss P another chair to refinish when the time is more appropriate.  I just hope someone takes it home for the holidays :-).





Just a Spoon Full of Sugar

This kitchen went to a customer at Brocante.  The only direction we got was pink and no concern over oven or details.  Um, ok!!  Our favorite way to make kitchens!  We love the look of the ovenless kitchens.  The fabric really gets it chance to be in the spotlight.  While we understand the desire for ovens, and yes, my kids will have one, we do love the way this looks.







A Sweet Seat

My daughter loves this seat.  So much so that she insisted on sitting in it while it was covered in wet paint, geesh.  It is the perfect size for a toddler, as you can see below.  A cheese stick loving toddler :-).  It has such an elegant, yet chunky shape.  It is distressed old white and would make the perfect chair to photograph small children.





Chair Pair

Check out these vintage school chairs redone!  They are so much fun and the stencil really gives them that extra something.  Go by ReRuns 4 Wee Ones in Valparaiso to check them out.  They will move down to Brocante when ReRuns closes for the holiday.

A Darling Stool

We had the good fortune of finding this exact stool at our favorite place days apart from one another.  The first one go her pink treatment to go with Dear Dolly and this one got a dose of old white and one of our FAV fabrics!  We covered it with plastic since we figure this one could end up in a myriad of places.  Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom.  You never know!





Sweet Pea's Table

Lucky little Sweet Pea is getting a new table and chairs for Christmas!  Her smartie pants mama found this sweet little table for a steal and had us refinish it.  Do you love it!?  I want one for my kids......think she will believe me if it gets "lost"?

Dress Up Caddy

We have the MOST patient customer in the world.  MOST.  She gave us an old tool caddy this summer and asked if we could turn it in to a tutu rack for her daughter.  It baffled us for a LONG time and finally we decided it was better just to build it from scratch.  We were trying to figure out how to extend the sides up without losing the integrity of the original piece and we were literally stumped.  So, from scratch it went and, my oh my, it is cute!!!  Layne, we are soooooo sorry and we appreciate your faith in us so much!  Thank you!!!  This was a learning experience for us and now that we know what we are doing you can expect to see more of these down at Brocante and in to Reruns after the holidays.
