sweet little vintage hutch

 Once in a while I come across something that
pulls at my heartstrings. . .this was one of those pieces.
 
The curves, the lines, the turned legs, and overall design. . .very charming :)
 
 
 
One of my cute clients called me wondering if I'd like this. . .
ummm. . .heck yeah! 
It only took a second for me to know exactly where she was gonna go. . .


Since I knew that this was going to be a keeper for a very long time, I decided
to give her a timeless but classic finish with antique white, and a little
minor distressing to show a hint of wear and tear.
 




She fits nice and snug between the kids' rooms at the top of the landing. . .
 

 
The inside was kept in its original form for a nice contrast
against the white. . .not to mention I love the warmth the wood provides.
 
Pieces like this remind me of a more simple, slow paced life. . .
and who doesn't need to be reminded of that every once in a while? :)

French Country Entry Door

I am usually a pretty conservative person, however every once in a while we're allowed to do something a little extravagant right?? My front door was needing a new paint job and frankly,
I was getting a little bored of the brown. . .this door needed a little pop :)
 
 
Here's how it originally looked, and I really liked it. . .but when things
begin to seem a little dull in my life, I pull out the paint and get to work.
                                                                         
    
 
Last week, while strolling through Gardner Village, I spied this
ADORABLE
aqua door that looked very much like mine. . .and I was smitten.
Paint rarely scares me but something about painting my front door this color
made me REALLY nervous!
 
Oh, but it's such a cute door!

 
After holding up a few samples, I decided that blue would compliment
the colors on my house. . .so, I went for it. . .GULP!
 
Here's the color I came up with. . .it's a combination of two colors I had
in my garage and it turned out just the way I wanted.
I love it when that happens :)

 
This door had alot of detail that I decided to do a French Country
Overcoating technique on, which gave it a worn & timeless appeal. . .
 


Next, it recieved an oil glaze rub down to polish off that
old world style I was going for. . .something that looks like it was pulled
right out of a vintage cottage in the french countryside. . .
 
Ahhh, YES!
 


 
Now this door is one that says
WELCOME HOME :)
