Petite Desk and a Chair

Sometimes a plan comes together in some unexpected ways.  I am not sure I would normally have paired these two pieces of furniture together, but somehow it works!  It is going in to a very fun house with eclectic character that I adore.  Sarah is very trusting to give us free reign :-).  We added a cushion to the chair which was a first for us!  We were relatively uncertain what we were doing, but that sums up how we jump in to many of our projects!  It is always fun to learn a new trick and gain a little confidence along the way.  The sun could not make up her mind, so ignore the color differences between the pictures.  I am not equipped with fancy enough editing software to really make a difference.

Roll Top Desk

 One of the things I love most about what we do is how people respond to it.  People really take a liking to the children's pieces, even if they don't have kids.  We get random emails and phone calls asking if we have a use for this or that.  I got a phone call from my husband's aunt in St Petersburg, FL sometime last summer about a kid size roll top desk.  Her neighbor was getting rid of it and knowing Nancy was a teacher she asked if she wanted it.  Well, immediately she thought of me and was kind enough to hang on to it until Christmas!!  That's dedication people!  I would have said, "forget that lady" and stuck it at the curb, but no, she kept it for me.  What a saint!  The minute I saw it I started making plans for it.  I think it turned out pretty darn cute, what do you think?

We lined the backs of the shelves and the bottoms of the drawers with a yellow polka dot paper. 

Halle aka Dear Old Friend

Halle, our Dear Old Friend, has been hanging around our shop for quite some time waiting for her family to be ready for her :-).  We have become friends with her and were especially sad to see this one go.  She has had more accessories sprayed for her than we can count and as new things have come our way we would change our minds.  We don't get our hands on too many of these "fridge" furniture pieces, but excited it is going to this family.  It was time for her to move out and onto being played with before we changed our minds, AGAIN!  We are so happy her family is home and settling back in to life here in Niceville!

Chow Center

I have wanted to make a dog dish center for a LONG time.  Since I first discovered Pinterest.  But, we did not have a dog and I was not sure it really fit the GG and More style.  Well, I tell ya, if I find another dresser this size I will gladly turn it into a doggy station!  Check out Meadow's Chow Center.  

Her bowls are in the bottom drawer and food one drawer above.

Finely

Funny thing, someone who shall remain nameless, texted me "finely" when I said I finished my kids kitchen.  I was going to name it Finally, but I think Finely is so much more appropriate.  It took me this long to do it because I wanted it to be perfect.  I had to play around with a few colors to decide what was right for our house.  This is what I came up with.  My kids absolutely adore it and while it is 'finally' done, we all think it fits in here "Finely" :-).  I wanted to take pictures of it stocked so you could see one in action.  You get to see them all clean and empty, but I thought it would be fun for you to see what they look like/how they function once they have all the kids stuff in them.

My son chose a wood handle instead of our typical stamped spoon.  I was surprised! 

Lots of work space on the sink top 

Baby B's Cradle

LaDawn found a sweet little cradle at the Bargain Box just in the knick of time.  We had a shower to attend and no gift!  So, she sprayed it a sweet shade of lavender and a new mattress is on its way.  It turned out so adorable and we hope they get some use out of it! 

SIde Table

We were recently asked by a friend to do some pieces.  She is very talented herself, but so busy that she just can't get to the projects that are mounting in her home.  We all have big dreams these days thanks to Pinterest :-).  The first one we tackled was a little end table.  It was originally red and she wanted to take it to a more neutral color.  We ended up using Annie Sloan French Linen.  It is one of our new favorites, but those who follow us know as well as we do that there is a new favorite every few weeks, haha.  Anyhow, check out how it turned out.  We ended up using a little elbow grease to run off a layer of paint on the edges instead of distressing with sand paper so the red would peek through.  We love how it turned out!

Cradle and a Chair

Creative name for a post huh?  What can I say, I am tired!  We took a couple of antique pieces over to Reruns 4 Wee Ones recently.  First is a rocking chair we found at an estate sale.  Aside from some sanding to get the loose paint off, we did nothing other than wax this chair.

This cradle was hand made and aside from being old, you can tell it was made with love!

Dreamer

This kitchen was dropped off at Brocante.  We LOVE doing kitchens as our own design.  This little gem has been floating around in our heads for a while.  So here she is - Dreamer.

Miller Ann

Apparently we forgot to post about Miller Ann!  Where was my head - oh yeah, packing to leave for Christmas :-).  This little love is one that I will honestly keep on my favorites list.  We always say, this one is my new favorite, but, truly, this one will always remain in my top favorites list!!
