Get your art on!

It's all most Friday! So excited for this weekend! Some of my furniture pieces will be featured in an art show at 

an studio owned by the one and only Maggie O'Neill! So if you live in or around the DC area and want something fun/different/entertaining to do this weekend you should go to eventbrite and scoop up some tickets! 

Black to Peacock!

This hutch was not so bad when I was asked by a client to rehab it but the color scheme was just not going with their decor. I was happy to help them find a rustic yellow interior color as well as a great peacock blue for the exterior. 

Love the way it turned out especially after the home owner added some LED lights to add a touch of light to the interior of this big old hutch. 

Just beautiful! What a difference the change of color has made to this piece! Happy Wednesday Notebook Readers! 

Colorful Kitchen Complete!

I featured my color concept of this kitchen set a couple weeks ago and its finally done! I painted the chairs an array of colors and the table a clean semi gloss white. Check out the before and afters!

Love it and what a fun and different look for a kitchen! 

For those of you who are still dealing with the snow...think spring its coming...I promise!!!

Snow Day!

Hey Hey! I hope everyone is getting through this Monday. We have yet again another snow storm to deal with. So Boy and I packed up our things and instead of staying downtown we headed out to the neighborhood we grew up in Bethesda, MD to relax at both our parents houses(who live about a block from each other). From fires, to building sidetables in my father-in-laws workshop, to a ling walk in the snow today was a good day! 

HAPPY SNOW DAY MONDAY!

Brown to high gloss black!

This dresser rehab makes me happy. I just love it when a piece that looks super damaged and scratched turns out looking so much better painted. 

Here it is...a mid century modern dresser turned high gloss black. 

I was happy to use the original hardware...the client wanted it painted black too but I just gave it a nice polish and love how it pops off the black! 

Happy Furniture Rehabbing! 

Can everything go Green?

I mean I just can't get enough kelly green...in my wardrobe, my interior decor, and in my furniture rehabbing. It just makes everything brighter and cheerier. I even told Boy I wanted to buy a kelly green sofa for our living room(in the house we haven't bought yet) and he didn't freak too bad...he actually got a bit on board. 

Anyways I'm happy to share this rehab today and I hope it gets everyone over the hump. 

this old side table had some damaged to it but the bones were strong and ready for a fresh coat of paint!

here is the inspiration picture my client gave me right out of a magazine! See you can make items in your home look like they are in the mags! 

LOVE it! After polishing up the hardware I reapplied it and this table is ready to go back home! 

Dated TV Console freshened up!

Check out this TV console that seems to belong in the 80s...a fresh coat of shy cherry, a Benjamin Moore color, and it has a new life! 

here is the inspiration fabric, found in the family room valance, that we used to find the right color...

Love this color...not too red right! Lookin good I must say! Have a good Tuesday people!
