Furniture Revamps

 

I promised to blog about my most recent revamps so ladies and gentlemen here they are! I've always wanted one of these and while yard sale-ing I ran across this old beat up thing. (not sure wht it's called ) Anyway I was so excited cuz I could actually see the potential to be something great so I loaded it up in the back of J's toyota pick-up and now I love it so much I'm not sure if i'm going to add it to my Booth at the Antique Gallery. I thought it would be nice to be used as a quilt closet. Also, I tried my hand at 'distressing" and I'm really undecided if I like the "old" look but honestly, I'm just so happy it' done and in my home.

Now, on the other hand while I was waiting for paint to dry and in between all the rain we've had I conjured up this little quirky guy. So in love with him, gonna make him a woman. I'll be sharing that real soon.

The chair below is another yard sale find that I plan to revamp. The cushion is in the sewing room awaiting my personal touch. Think I'm going to really do something BRIGHT to this. I supposed I'll be finished with it within a few weeks. I know, that's a really long time but hey, I'm busy what can I say? See ya soon!

I saw this illustration over at "Willowing" and I've been practicing my facial features for a long - long time. I mean a very, VERY, long time. They say practice makes perfect. Still working it out but in the meantime check out their website and join the group.Lots of cool things to do.

Pink is my favorite color and those dots, well, dots rule~ 

Take a trip to Karrie Evenson's Art blog and try your hand at this big boy! "Coutour drawing then  paint with bold bright colors.



By the light of the silvery moon..............................

These fairy dolls are made of fabric then painted. Sooo much fun to do until ya get to the part where you have to "turn" those little tiny eensy weensy legs and arms arrrgggg!!!!!! Adorable when completed and worth the trouble.
