Ding ding ding I am on a roll! I have painted some of my most favorite pieces of all time this week.

This beauty is just a simple white painted with milk paint.

I lightly distressed then waxed with clear wax. I will probably do another coat of wax and buff before I bring it to the store.

I sprayed the pulls with a high gloss black because I can't leave anything alone.

She will be at the store Saturday.

I need to shower now. I have paint in my hair, on my hands, and dust all over my clothes.

I had plans to paint this empire dresser a glossy grey.

Something like this.

 My plans got derailed when I couldn't make it to the paint store yesterday.

So I did what I normally do and I headed to my paint stash.

This is a custom mix of my favorite blues.

The sparkle of the knobs make this piece extra special.

I can't bring this to the store until Friday because I have several sold pieces still in my store and there is no room for this lady. 

Today I am painting the most amazing black and white buffet. I can't wait to get started on it, pictures tomorrow!

I have been painting my little heart out the last two weeks. My goal is to not have anything in my basement or studio by the end of the month and not buy anything until the first week in March.

Let's see if I can do it!

It feels good to do a little spring cleaning before spring. 

I am sticking with the fun bright colors this week, but almost everything I am painting next week is black and white.

This bar cart is so sweet. The glass center actually comes out and it becomes a tray.

I hauled everything into the store this morning.

Now I am home laying on the couch. This girl is sick. I should take a quick nap before I pick up the kids from school.

{this is all i have done the last two days}

I decided last month to paint through all of my backstock. Everything in my basement and studio. 

What this means is, I had to paint stuff that I didn't particularly like.

I had to get creative.

I have had this rustic cabinet in my studio forever. It needed soo much love. I wasn't sure I could even make it look pretty.

I decided to work with the rusticness but add cool interest.

I painted it this sweet green.

I  then added all new knobs, tin flowers, and old door plates {all sprayed black to match}.

I then added an old window attached on the back with old wood strips I have had from some other project. 

It is such a cool piece. This one will come to the shop with me some time this week.

I had the blue dresser below for years. It has been painted black, white, navy. I have painted this thing so many times I was sick of it. 

This sat in my basement for at least two years. I thought I would paint it one last time before I donated it. 

The simple shape needed something make it more feminine. I added the molding and painted the blue.

I sanded through three layers of paint and then waxed.

I am not donating this one, it is coming to me to the shop.

I literally transformed my trash to treasures this week.
