Paris Gray Side Table

I found this stunning side table at an antique market a while ago and decided it needed a coat of my favourite Paris Gray.  This colour is gorgeous.  It's cool, chalky, beachy, and goes with everything.

 How cool is this hardware.  Usually, I would paint it to match, but I just couldn't paint these guys.  They are under the top, so you can't see them...  LOVE awesome hardware like this!

Hall Tree AGAIN!!!!

I swear, this is the last hall tree I will be doing for a loooong time!  I just couldn't resist this piece.  The size is perfect for narrow hallways that don't have a lot of storage.  This thing is solid wood, and I couldn't get over the detail on the bottom brackets.  It's an antique replica (hence the low price tag), but the marble inlay is vintage.  Seriously, I love this piece and I hope it goes to a warm home that will love it as much as I do.

Beachy Living Space

Just wrapped up one of my most favourite spaces ever for a very special Grandma!  She wanted a beachy space to relax in.  My first instinct was to fill the room with painted white furniture and soft greens and blues, but I was faced with a challenge!  No painting the rosewood dining set!  So, the entire design was based around incorporating warm toned woods, with cool beachy colours.  This is what I came up with.  

The Before Pics....

And the Afters!!!

Antique Mirror

I recently purchased this gorgeous antique mirror at an auction in Kitchener (Thanks Mom for being the best and bringing it home for me).  It was in rough shape when I got it, but had the most amazing detailing.  And the best part, is it's old, weathered, antique mirror.  I L-O-V-E antique mirror.... tiny bubbles, little bumps, and small knicks.  The best.

So, with some tlc, I brought it back to life.  Errrr, going to be hard to say good bye to this one!

Blanket Box

It brings me nothing but joy to have a forgotten piece of furniture make it's way back into a home because of my work.

Enter, Grandpa's old, broken forgotten blanket box.

This poor thing had been beaten up and even lost a leg.  But after a couple of weeks in my work shop, it's looks perfectly 'antiqued', and is ready to be a loved piece, full of memories, once again.

ANOTHER Hall Tree Make Over!

Remember the last hall tree I revamped??  you can check it out here.

Well, after that make over, I was overwhelmed with requests for more hall trees.  So, I've had my eyes peeled for more.  Surprisingly, I came across another, exactly the same as the last one I did!!  I had to drive all the way to Caledonia to pick it up, but I didn't mind.  After all, that's my old hood ;)

This hall tree was going to a fabulous, fun, light hearted family, so I wanted to kick it up a notch and be adventurous with colour.  I went with my most favourite furniture colour - RED... Emperor's Silk, to be exact!

Console Table to Sofa Table

As most of you know, I've been spending most of my kid-free time over at the Mitchell house trying to get Grandma's living room done before her home-coming next week. I finally finished today, and the room turned out beautiful. I can't wait to share all of the "after" shots with you. But, for today, I'm sharing just one little tidbit of the room.

I have a thing for sofa tables these days. I love the look of a sofa in the middle of a room, anchored with a sofa table at it's back. A sofa table gives you an opportunity to display decorative items, add lighting in the middle of a room, and create an open concept living space. BUT, they are hard to come by. Especially, in my upcycling world. I searched high and low for a new sofa table for Grandma Mitchell's space, but couldn't find one. I found a few new ones, but at $500-$800 a piece, forget it. That's not the way I roll.

I was leaving the room after a long day of reupholstering (the day I staple-gunned my hand. fun.), and long behold, I see this....

How had I walked passed this beauty so many times??? I instantly asked if I could swipe it and paint it, and happily, I was granted permission. But really, of course I was! Look at what I did to it!

This is my most favourite piece in the room.  It turned out beautiful.  Hope to post the rest of the space this week! Stay tuned!

P.S.  Like my new site?!?!?  All my new pages will be up and running soon.... xo
