Oh hey there..

I have been spending the last 5 weeks living in a purply world of glam. I did a custom antique bedroom set. The whole set. Deadline has been met with a lot of hard work, time, pain, paint and wax. I reveal to you, The Sophia!!

Dang photo bombing fingers. lol This gorgeous set is getting shipped to Indiana in the morning. It will be my first time shipping. I don't plan on making that a regular thing, yet anyway. I love comments so please say "Hi". And if you would like to talk about something lovely for yourself or gift let me know.

Back to warm

After selling the vanity I took a trip to Indiana to see family and attend a dear friends wedding. Travel was horrible. Both ways. I cried a lot. I am home now and after some late night conversations have decided that I just have no reason to doubt myself or my work. It was a good pep talk. And to back that up I am getting ready to do a large custom order for some friends in Indiana. I love it and the fact that someone believes and trust in my ability to pull it off.  So back to the grind it is. :) Oh and the nice warm weather that is Arizona.

A work of art I tell ya.

Some of you may remember this yucky vanity.

The shape of this beast is just unique and grand. It sat in my garage forever and ever as I went back and forth on what to do with it. Well finally I pulled the trigger. Lots of second guessing and redoing and third guessing happened. I struggled with keeping the vintage feel without it being to cheesy and it was worth it in the end because I wound up with this!

 

Leave me a comment, let me know you were here! Have a great week.

OH sweet vanity.

Just a drive by to show you this gem!

L.O.V.E  love it. Have a great week.

Redo a redo

I just noticed that I didn't put up the chairs that I redid again. So lets start with the very first before. These chairs are over 100 years old and just in wonderful shape. Needed updated for sure.

Now here is a picture of the first redo. I admit it's not everyone's cup of tea.

I thought they were fun. But, no go for a sale. So, I redid the redo! Here they are as they sit today.

I love the detail on them! Here is the Craigslist link if you are in the area and interested. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/atq/3931355508.html

 

Oh how I wish I could keep this buffet.

I loved this buffet from the moment I got it. Solid built and great ornate details. I worked fast and furious to get it done. No reason other then it just kept speaking to me. Four days later and it's done. Here's a before Bizzzzarf.

 

And here is after

I love it, and if you do also check out the Craigslist ad. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/fuo/4034846502.html
Have a great weekend all.

 

Oh this is fabulous!

Newest finished piece. I picked her up in a very sad state at a garage sale. I'm still trying to find the "before" picture. Enjoy the "after". 

Progress

Just dropping off some shots of the project I have been working on. Antique, going for a more rustic look. Happy Wednesday folks!

Sold today to a good home. Let me know your custom orders! Husbands or boyfriends, a repurposed piece of furniture makes a great gift for birthday, anniversary, or just some everyday thoughtfullness!

Wow it's been so long since I've been here. Well to update you quickly of course Christmas was a very busy time and I got to go home to Indiana for 8 days without my children! It was a MUCH needed break to see my family and friends. After I got home I had surgery and that is pretty much it. I am slow moving on recovery for this one BUT I have been able to score some super sweet pieces that I can not wait to get started on. How was your Christmas or New Years?
