OVER SIZED COFFEE TABLE livingroom side tables

 

March is here and so is the sun!

We had a nice fat rain storm on Saturday which seemed to wash winter away.

 

 

I was able to get these 2 chunky side tables outside and get them sprayed.

They are finished in a creamy white over dark oak.

 

 

George found this pair somewhere in his travels.

I will admit I didnt care for them at all but he pleaded with me to rework them.

They were so dark and dungeon like and the drawers were all wonky.

So to make the man happy I fixed & replaced the broken bits and did a heavy and chippy distressing.

 

What do ya know they look amazing now, maybe hes learning something?

 

All the girls around here like to say

"We all need a George"

but I got the original!

 

 

If you push them together side by side they would make an amazing overside coffee table as well.

 

Great tv remote storage, they each have a long drawer I added a vintage blue and

white wallpaper liner and a rustic iron ring pull to the front.

APPLIQUE TRICK his and hers bedside tables

 Im sharing the secret to my nightstand embellishments,

and how the look can bring two pieces together.

These fancy bits are solid brass and came from a broken mirror frame.

I removed the original front bottom piece of this nightstand and installed a new

piece of wood as well as new legs. 

Then with a pencil traced out the area I wanted cut, so it marched the line of the scrolls.

Next I cut with the jigsaw and sanded the edges smooth.

Because these embellishments are made of metal I had to pre-drill for my nails.

This set of bedside tables started as two different pieces but with similar style.

I brought them together using the same legs, the same pulls, and the same embellishments.

 

You can find side by side before and after pic here.

BEACH TIME aqua side tables

Kamis, 28 Januari 2016

During my last workshop I found out I had meet one of these ladies before.

I used to make driftwood furniture long ago and she had come to see me back then.

How cool is that!

Fastward a few days and I get an email from

another lady who has been out to visit,

Hiya !!!!
When I first saw your wonderful blog, I was taken away with such talent.
Then we started to correspond with each other and your friendliness and
messages were a joy to receive.
Now this is something that is really going to blow your mind!! We met long
before this time. I couldnt believe what I found in a box. Years ago we use to
hop in the car and go to different areas checking for garage sales. One such
day we came across one. I bought a beautiful glass hummingbird feeder at
this one. It was glass with brass and flowers painted on it. I still have it, but,
what caught our eye was the different amazing furniture creations that this
lady made.
Lets go back to what I found in the box. It was a business card from this
lady who does amazing things with driftwood. Yes !!!!!! This very talented
lady was/is you!! I couldnt believe it. When I saw your picture on your
blog I thought we had met before and now I have the proof that we had.
Small world!!  The work you do is so...What can I say...Awesome, beautiful, wonderful, a
treasure to own...I can go on and on, but, what I want to say is that you are
a treasure in this world. You are a beautiful one of a kind treasure awaiting
to be found by others in this world. I am glad that I found a really awesome
lady who long ago sold me a beautiful hummingbird feeder and then appear
again in my life when I needed you to be there.
Thank you for being the beautiful person you are!!
I want to thank these 2 ladies and everyone who has supported me then and now!

Now lets get to some furniture and pretty pictures ...

I have finished a pair of knotty pine side tables with a mix of

the new ASCP color, Florence.
