The Little Medicine Cabinet

The Medicine Cabinet

Look close behind that metal headboard......from a garage sale trip.....that handmade medicine cabinet.

Here it is close up.......cute little thing huh?  Old hardware, stained wood, mirror in great shape.......well, get the paint out!!

The cream paint just lets the old hardware pop!  Some things are just better upcycled, altered, refinished, redone, played with.....whatever you call it.

A little gentle distressing to let the old finish peak through.  Didn't have to do anything with the hardware, it was distressed through time.  Didn't even put new screws in the thing.....loved the look.  

 This piece would look great in either a retro bath, or a shabby decor style bath.....up above a pedestal sink.......

It'll be at Southdown this fall......booth #401... See ya!!

Tuquoise Chair

The Turquoise Chair

My husband spotted these chairs on side of the road during a Sunday drive.   We had to stop and rescue them.  

 

Too funny!!  I can haul some stuff now....couldn't do this with the Charger....

 

These chairs are just great. Lots of potential to turn into accent chairs. 
 

All I can think of was....turquoise!! 

With coral accents.  Aged down to give it a worn, warm look. 

Well, that's one accent chair.  Still thinking what to do with the other one.  Either make a pair, or try something new.  Anyway, it'll be in Southdown......

Picnic anyone?

Picnic Basket

I love the color sage, peaceful and calm.  A little spring color that can blend into any season.  

 A little paint, a  little aging and there you have it....ready for some vintage linen, couple of wine glasses, bottle of wine and flowers......
 

 I'm adding this to the Southdown collection.......See you there!

 

Chairs

Finally, back in my 'groove' for redo-ing furniture.  After upcycling many home decor items for the craft booth, I've finally returned to furniture.  Found a lot of great garage sale goodies as well as roadside goodies. 




This is before and after pics.  On the left is how I bought this beauty, crack in the seat and all!!  It's old with layers of old finish.  With a little turquoise and cream, this high-chair can be used as a decorative piece.  I envision a cool back porch.   




 

Here we go again....found this old oak chair at a flea market.  A little cream paint and waxing brought out the beauty of this piece.  

Hopefully they make it to 'Southdown' in November..........Keep junking....
