Raising them UP right!: November 2014

http://wheelerthree.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Raising them UP right! Home decor. Home repair. Furniture restoring. Party planning, and Crafting. Just trying to raise them up right. Bombay chest make over. Here is my craigslist find Bombay chest. It is solid but really ugly. I lightly sanded it and then used a foam roller to paint on 3 coats of Chocolate brown paint. I found some clip art online of a tree branch and had my husband make it into vinyl to put across the front. Then my husband helped by cutting the area where the drawers will open. 1 Fir...

pretty unique furniture: 'Mirror, mirror on the wall'...

http://prettyuniquefurniture.blogspot.com/2011/09/mirror-mirror-on-wall.html

Tuesday, 13 September 2011. Mirror, mirror on the wall'. A client, Sandy, brought me this mirror to be re-vamped for her new shop. I think she bought it locally, and it looked a little. Stick the newspaper ontop of the tape that is already down). I quickly sprayed it completely with some gold paint that I purchased in local craft shop. (you can sneak a look at another table that I am working on but that's a longgger story for another day). I allowed it to settle for a few days and then set to work distre...

pretty unique furniture: Worth the Wait

http://prettyuniquefurniture.blogspot.com/2011/10/worth-wait.html

Monday, 3 October 2011. This little gem has been a long time coming, but as the title suggests, was worth the wait! My dad found this one for me in a skip of all places so it was absolutely free. It was going to be thrown out because the top left hand corner had broken off, and to be honest if I had of been the one to see it I don't think that I would have taken it home because of the state of it - I mean how do. You add a corner onto furniture? Here she is;. Drilled holes and glued in wooden dowels.

Junky Vagabond: To Paint or Not To Paint

http://junkyvagabond.blogspot.com/2012/09/to-paint-or-not-to-paint.html

Sunday, September 23, 2012. To Paint or Not To Paint. This is the tale of a sad little table. So sad that nobody wanted it. Except me - I saw potential.plus side tables are needed at Casa Vagabond de Junky. It was dirty and in serious need of sanding. It was missing some detail. It had a broken foot. And was in need of a little gluing. Butit was made in the good ole U.S.A, and is solid mahogany. Stripped bottom - too bad this wasn't the top! Ok, now I had a decision to make - paint or no paint? Shes goin...

The Handyvergers: Caturday: Living with Pets

http://handyvergers.blogspot.com/2012/03/caturday-living-with-pets.html

Saturday, March 10, 2012. Caturday: Living with Pets. I find there are plenty of blogs that mention the challenges of living with children and having a "pretty" home, but not as many mention the challenges of doing so with pets - and boy, are there challenges! I'm lucky enough to share my home with four cats, which I'm pretty sure qualifies me as a crazy cat lady. I'm quite comfortable with that fact. Double-sided tape is grand, but I find it to be pretty tedious when dealing with a large surface. 3M...

leisure living: November 2012

http://leis-leisureliving.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Here is a quick before and after for you to check out! A new client of mine brought over this piece, she's using it as an entryway cabinet . We decided on Annie Sloan Duck Egg, distressing and dark wax. The top was a bit beat up so I sanded it down, re-stained and then actually did a whitewash treatment on it to give it that beautiful aged look. Here is how her guests will now be greeted when they stop over for a visit! Duck Egg never disappoints. :). Black and White Glamour! Here is how it turned out .
