Restyled Sundays #54

Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays!

Thanks for all of you who joined the party last week! You had some great posts and I really

appreciate you sharing.  I especially love...

These amazing apothecary jar makeovers by Angie

at Knick of Time Interiors She has these printables available

so you can make your own!

Helen from Picked and Painted created a real beauty

with two Hepplewhite dresses.

I love how Dianne from Shabby Gals madeover

an old broken down chest. What a great color combo

and cute organization. I need this in my sewing room!

And, finally I am totally crushing on this Princess phone

that Lynda from Something Created Everyday found at a rummage sale.

I had one similar to this in high school, sure wish I had kept it!

Thanks again for sharing. I hope you all come back and join this party

and be sure to tell your friends. The more the merrier!

Restyled Sundays #47

Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays!

Wow! I actually made it back to start the party!  The other day I mentioned my newest grandchild

would be coming any day, well she actually came that night.

Alaina Jean was born at 3:45 am on Tuesday, October 16th.

She weighed in at 6lbs 13oz and was only 18" long.  She is a

sweet little petite angel. Her big brother is crazy about her already,

as well as mom and dad and all of the rest of us. I am a redhead and so is her father

(I had 3 redheads and 3 brunettes) and she has a hint of red in her hair.

We are so excited to say the least!

My daughter and I made her bedding and just got it done last week.
Had to take these pics with my IPhone. I hope to get some good pictures this weekend.

Still have to finish the window treatments, so I hope to get those done this week.

I do want to feature my favorite project from our last party.

Shabby Gals shared this vintage wheel turned picture frame.

How sweet would this look in Alaina Jeans room?

I may just have to find something like this to copy.

Now let's get the party started!!

Restyled Sundays #45

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays !

Thanks to all of you who are still around and especially those who shared a post last week.

I am slowly digging out of the mess at my house, but did get my folks down to one storeroom last week. Yeah! We have to take little victories as they come. :)

My son is busy painting a vanity that is going to be beautiful, I can't wait to show it to you.

He delivered the first two projects to his client last week and she was thrilled. Maybe he has a new business sprouting. He is really enjoying it.

Now, let me show off my favorite projects from last week:

Paul and Cathy from One Creative Couple took an old

chair and turned it into a masterpiece!

Lynn from Cottage and Creek transformed an old sad table into

a simply lovely side table.

Catherine from Freddy and Petunia took an old wall lamp and

gave it some out of this world character!

Now let's see what you have been up to this week!

Restyled Sundays #38

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

Ok, so it is really Monday, and I thought about not having a  party this week. But my brain said

go ahead, so I did. I can't tell you how tired I am from packing and sorting out stuff from the office.

We have 9 more days to be out of there, but so much left to get through. My brother is coming

from California next weekend to help my folks get out of their house, why does so much have to happen at once. I just can't wait until June 12th, since all of our moving deadlines will be over. 

 Anyway, enough of my sob story, let's get on to your stories.

The party was rather small last week, I know everyone is busy with Mother's Day

and Graduations. So, I really thank each of you that participated.

Barb from Turtles and Tails shared this great tutorial on

transferring  a design with freezer paper.

Melissa from Shabby Love added some transfers to

old picnic baskets for a truly Shabby Chic look.

And, Shabby Gals adorned this sweet little chair

with an owl. I guess I am all about transfers this week.

Now, let's see what you've got to share this week.

Restyled Sundays #31 and a Feed Sack Stool

Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays

I hope everyone had a great week. The weather has been beautiful in Kansas. Just enough rain to make the grass green and the flowers bloom, with lots of sunshine and warm temps. Perfect for those spray painting projects.  First of all today, I want to share a foot stool that I redid this week.

This is what I started with. A 3.99 footstool from Goodwill, with boring tapestry cover.

I unscrewed the lovely cushion, then  painted the legs Old White with ASCP. 

I was planning on using some drop cloth with a transfer for the cushion, until I remembered some

old feed sacks that I had bought at a flea market. I tried one over the foam, it was perfect.

Cute? Huh? I think it is adorable. I love the old cotton feed sacks.

I would love to hear how you have used them.

Maybe we should have a party of feed sack one of these days.

Ok, let's see what you all shared last week. My favorites are...

This cute window box was transformed with chicken wire by Shabby Gals

What a perfect wall hanging to organize notes and keys!

This adorable pink vanity was originally a boys desk. Check out

the transformation at Freddy and Petunia.

I absolutely adore this pallet magazine rack from

Jane at Minnesota Junker

This Vintage Easter Mantel  by Cottage and Creek is a wonderful collection of

flea market items pulled together for a holiday display.

And Sheila, from Note Songs showed us her spring wreaths for her

front doors. If you can't find flowers you love, make your own!

Thanks to everyone for joining in, now let's see what you've got this week!

Fresh and New, Spring Is In The Air

I am so excited to have this project finished. I really love finishing a bigger project like this,

but I am ready for a few smaller projects for a change.

I can't find the before picture of the table,

I

but this one is a table I restored over a year ago and it is very similar.

And, these are the four chairs in this makeover.

And here is the after!

I don't have a good staging area in my house, so my pictures

are usually taken at the antique store.

This is at Sentimental Journey, so for any of you that are in the

Kansas City area I would love to know if you ever get a chance to stop by.

I was out of chalk paint, so I decided to make my own with

plaster of paris. It did not work out too well ( it was sort of gravely)

so I guess I might try it again with the unsanded grout that others have

had such good luck with.

I ended up sanding my gravely paint down and recoating with

Cashmere White by Glidden in Satin.   I then distressed it with my sanding block.

More so on the chairs than the table.

A little on the base,

and the edges.  I really love a little distressing, but I can't seem to

bring myself to heavily distress something that I have spent so much time painting.

I am very happy with the results. It seems to have such a fresh and clean look,

I love this shabby chic look, it makes me think that spring is in the air.

Another Pink Dresser

I always loved pink when I was a little girl,

I just had forgotten how much since I have five  boys and only one daughter.

Yes, her room was pink when she was young, but she quickly out grew that phase.

It's just since I have been painting furniture, that I have been able to add so much pink to

my creative thoughts. I am loving it!

This dresser started out with the most hideous shade of yellow stain.

I don't know if it was always that color, or the varnish had yellowed that

much over the years.

Well, here it is finished. I went with the palest shade of pink.

Actually, I mixed my own from a brighter pink I had

and added lot's of white paint.

I just painted the existing pulls ORB to update them.

I really wanted to find some sweet girly pulls, but these were like

3 and 3/4" and I was not able to find anything in that width.

I know I could have filled the holes and re drilled new ones, but I didn't realize it

until after I had painted. Next time, measure before painting!

I think it turned out very sweet, and the improvement from

the lovely yellow stain was fabulous.

I would love to hear what you think.
