Rolltop Desk~~ Surreal Blue



I'm so bummed that I forgot to take a before picture of this desk!!  Looking at BEFORE and AFTERS is almost my favorite part of transforming some thing. 
  
My husband did the distressing on the piece.  Didn't he do a great job!?!?!?!
I just love this color!! And rolltop desks are so old fashioned (a good thing) to me.

Rainwashed

These stools are sturdy!!! I love it.  Whenever I've come across barstools before it seems like the are so wobbly I'm afraid to sit on them, but not these ones. Plus the tops are 15 in.!!!! 

So here are the before pictures...

 And the afters...

The color we used here is called rainwashed.  Hop on over to the 
paint shoppe at our website check out all our colors.

♥♥ Coats Hooks ♥♥

I have 3 small children.  I kinda wish they were all still small, but I love them just the way there are. I'm always wishing that they could hang up their coats when they take them off, instead of dropping it on the floor.  They can't quite reach they hangers in the coat closet, so that is why I love a coat rack.  I also like the look of a hook in a nook.  Ummm yes, we love Dr. Suess. Why do you ask?    Giggle

 
 So here are some before and afters of this little number, that happens to be a hand-me-down.  My mom gave it to a couple of years ago. Yes, it just got paint this week. haha
Oh yeah! And I'm linking this post up with Feather Nest Friday  
and  Common Ground  linky party.

And what it normally looks like. Haha
 
 And now I'm off to take the kiddos to Jumping Jacks.

Our Lastest Find

Picked this up just the other day!! I'm on the fence here!! I love to paint things. It's so exciting to see something transformed, and I'm not usually real big on the natural wood, but this piece is beautiful, as is. ???????????

A Table Makeover

I liked the curves and the drawer pulls on this table.  Just had to give it a facelift. 
This is our stressed tique color.

Magazine Rack Repurposed


Here is a magazine rack that we picked up at a local secondhand shop.  We painted it in our glorious morning satin finish.  You can check out a video on this project on our website, later this week.
