Pedestal Kitchen Table
This kitchen table is pretty common and is quite outdated in color but is actually quite beautiful and has tons of potential. I'm quite proud of this one.

Chippy furniture
This is a style that you either love or just don't get. My dad for example thought some of my peices still needed to be stripped and painted or fixed. I just laughed and said Dad that's the way they're supposed to be haha! I love items that are antiqued, sanded, bumped, banged and chipped. Items like this have the character that I love...the shabby chic style, the rustic look and the chippy furniture are my favorites and it seems as I start my business that this is the way most of my furniture is leaning.

Kids chairs have so much charm!
I found this adorable little kids chair out garage saling a few weeks ago...apparently there was a matching table but someone had already taken it. Such a unique little peice...cute in purple however just too many layers of paint and not a whole lot of character. I took it home and was so excited I started to sand instantly. All those layers of paint took forever, and of course with all the little groves and spindle legs most of it had to be done by hand. I thought of stripping it completely but I ended up leaving little bits of paint underneath that would show through and add some texture.

Spruced this one up!!!
So many people said they would have never thought to buy this desk but love the finished product! Super solid with no watermarks, cracks or damage and an outdated color make the perfect peice. Spindle legs however are just brutal to sand. Luckily my boyfriend is great with the belt sander and helps me with the large straight peices. It's quite a powerful tool.

Adorable rustic style chairs! For sale
Picked up these two little chairs and was so happy to have found a pair. These chairs could be treated as small accent chairs in any place in your home, paired with a small table or even used outdoors. They have been painted with a mix of colors which give it texture and character. There's hints of blue, grey, black, brown wax and a little yellow accent. The seats were recovered in a gorgeous green indoor/outdoor fabric which is very durable and matches just perfect.
