French Grain Sack Striped Bench

In the planning & designing of my dining room, I realized the budget was tight so when I could I reused existing furniture I did. My existing bench was so funtional for the kids & it fit ...»
my table perfectly, the only problem it was DARK brown. It needed paint, so on a whim one day I went for it and painted a french grain sack stripe. I used the DIY chalkpaint recipe for the base color(cream) and Anne Sloans French Linen Chalk Paint for the stripe.

Shabby blue nightstand

Someone donated this less than attractive, neglected maple nightstand....I was able to see the potential in this stand, and gave her a facelift! The distressing suits it so well!

Beachy style end tables....

I was so unsure of what to do with these oak end tables....I first painted them green, then gray, then white...and THEN I was inspired to make them in to a light airy beachy theme! I really love the outcome! So does the new owner :)

  • White/zebra vanity :)

from beast to beauty

This vanity was a custom job for a little girl, she likes purple, white and zebra! Unfortunately, it was in AWFUL shape. I started by removing ALL the veneer...and then filled and sanded cracks. Luckily it turned out beautiful! and has the perfect wild touch with purple drawers, glass drawer pulls and a zebra bench!
