Good Morning, it is 7:00 am and I am trying to get a post done before my chickens wake up!
Wish me luck, ha ha!
A few weeks ago while perusing through Craigslist looking for furniture to redo, I came across this beauty. For a while now there has been a blank wall in my front room, I have played with so many scenarios to fill up this space, but alas nothing looked "right".
When I saw this piece, with its pretty "Duck Egg" blue paint, I fell head over heels for it. I begged the pool man and bribed him with cookies to go with me to pick it up....he huffed and puffed but he went and, the blank wall is finally filled with the perfect piece!!
Please try to ignore the box to the right,and the cord {the pool man installed a little light on the top of the armior so at night it lights up just enough to highlights the treasures inside, but I need my mom to sew a cord cover for it...I am thinking one out of burlap will due}...
Our front room is now the work room for this stay at home momma who likes to paint furniture and hunt treasures! It is not pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but hey it works!
I had to have this sign, for many reasons.
1. It has a vintage camper on it, which makes me heart pitter patter!
2. I adore what it says...
3. It was hand made by one of my best friends husbands...
So ya know it was perfect above my new piece!
If you want one of your own head on over here....Custom Chalk.
I fell in love with the pretty details through out the piece.... you really can't find furniture made as well as it was way back when now a days that is probably why I love antiques so much....solid wood, attention to detail, sturdy for a house full of little punks like mine...
And the color was perfect for our front room, as I have tried to add more blue tones to the room!
{ugly cord again....I really need to fix that, my dad would be mortified...he has cord issues}
If you are interested in painting something in a similar color it is "Duck Egg" by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint with ASCP dark wax applied to give it an aged look.
So there it is my newest most favorite piece!
Whoops, gotta run as I just heard one of my punk's alarms go off, which means someone is out of their beds...most likely the oldest one...which means I have to get back to my mommy duties of making waffles and pouring milk!
And my littlest is getting his one year molars in, all four of them, and well he is something else when he is teething, poor fella....
Thanks for stopping in...I have a couple more changes to share here on the ole blog!
Also I added some more goodies to my shoppe over the last two weeks...
Have a lovely day!
