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!!
