All Dressed Up for the Ball

Hello again!

This oh so cute dresser has been given a formal up-do so that she may attend the Milwaukee County Zoo Ball this Saturday night.

Here is the before:

Here is the after... What a make-over!

If you are looking to take this lovely lady home, you must attend the Zoo Ball and make a bid.  Maybe you'll be the lucky winner!

As always, if you are looking for any of my pieces, you can find them at La Belle Legacy in Oconomowoc, WI  

Happy Bidding!

Dining Set Re-do

I found this set at a rummage sale, just waiting for me to purchase it. Of course, I did not take a before of the table top, but believe me when I tell you, it was scratched up, and in need of some TLC.

Here is a before of the chairs:

The fabric was old and really needed to be replaced.

Well here is the after for the whole project:

A better view of the new table top:

A closer view of the chairs (I LOVE the polka dots!):

I used AS Old White for the chairs and the table base.  The table even has a hidden leaf on the inside to expand it with ease.

What do you think?

Until next time,

Gallery Night

Well it's gallery night tonight in Oconomowoc.  Here are some of the pieces I just repurposed for tonight.

First, this cute little vanity my friend Laurel Flannery gave me (thanks Laurel!):

The color is French Linen.  It turned out so nice!

Next is this pub table and chairs:

This set would look great in a rec room don't you think?

Also, I finally finished the beautiful dresser with mirror.  Here it is!

Love, love, love it!  It's sister is at the store too!  (remember?)

Come visit us at La Belle Legacy for Gallery Night tonight!

105 W. Wisconsin Ave.  Oconomowoc, WI

Hope to see you there!

Some beautiful new finds

Well, I have been busy in my garage repurposing these new pieces.

The first is this amazing dresser I found.  Here is the before:

And here is the after!  I used Old Ochre (my favorite).

A close up...

In the store...

What do you think?  I LOVE IT!!  I have a matching dresser with a mirror that I am still working on.

Next I found this small round table.  

Here is the before:

Here is the after in Versailles green:

So Cute!  Maybe on sunporch, or out on the deck??

I also found this table:

Here is the after in a Paris grey:

Check out this beautiful chair.  It was in desperate need of an up-do:

I painted it in AS French Linen, and refreshed the seat with a paisley.  What do you think??

One more thing...  I picked up this half-moon table:

As usual, I forgot the before pic, but it turned out sooo nice.  

This is what happens when I don't post for awhile!  Inundated with up-do's!!

All of these pieces are for sale at La Belle Legacy in Oconomowoc.  Stop in and see what's new :)

Thrift Store Gem and some Up-Do's

I found this little desk at a local thrift store.

I knew it was a hidden gem.  I chose to use AS Duck Egg Blue. Together with some dark wax to bring out the distressed areas, and a finish coat of clear wax, here is how it turned out:

These pictures are pretty dark.  I wanted to show you a close up of the distressing.

LOVE it!

I also gave this chair a little up-do.  Because it has the caning on it, I had a hard time finding the right color.  I ended up with a Versailles green.  Here is the before:

Here is the after!  The pictures don't really show the beauty.  Guess I need a new camera...

Thanks for looking!  Until next time.

A nice re-fresh

A wonderful client asked me to paint these two pieces for her.  They were very old and worn.  Here are the before shots:

My client wanted the pieces to be painted in either white, or white and black.

The table was painted in Annie Sloan's (AS) Old White.  I distressed it a bit, then coated it with wax.  Here is the result:

I painted the chair with a coat of AS Graphite, then a coat of AS Old Ochre.  A little sanding and a coat of wax and here is the result:

I love them!  The client loves them too.  She was going to sell them in her store, but likes them so much, she may just keep them instead.

What do you think??
