Curio Stand

This was a find that Kelly found for us one one of her shopping trips.  It originally was an antiqued gold with broken, chipped glass shelves. 

I just adore the detail of this stand from its crowning top to its twisted metal sides.

The hubby painted it oil rubbed bronze and cut inserts for the shelves out of wood.  What a difference it made in the curio stand.

What a fun piece of furniture to display those treasures that are needing a new place to be displayed on.

Burgundy End Table

SOLD!!!!!

THIS TABLE NOW HAS A HOME IN LAYTON, UT

Our favorite place to shop is the DI in Brigham City.  On one of our shopping trips we found an end table that looked so ugly in its dark brown color with gold hinges and handles.

Dick took off all the hardware and painted them oil rubbed bronze (my favorite color right now) and painted the end table a beautiful burgundy color then distressed it.

I took black glaze and made sure that the decorative items on the end table were coated and detailed. 

I do like the ending results….

of this end table. 

It could be used as a night stand also.  There is tons of storage inside this piece of furniture.

Green Bench

SOLD
This bench has a new home in Syracuse, Utah.

With lots imagination this gorgeous headboard became a bench.  We had to find a footboard for the arms and then a seat was constructed.

There was a flaw in the motifs that were on the bed.  So the handy dandy hubby took the coping saw and fixed the piece on both sides so that they matched.  He had to do a little sanding to make the motif perfect.

With our famous primer, no one is able to tell that this motif was not suppose to look like this.

Next the entire bench was primed…..

then the painting began.  We only use Krylon spray paint on our furniture as it has the best nozzle and it is easier to use.  Plus the coverage is fantastic.  Several light coats are used and the ending results are like furniture that you purchase from the store.

We used Hosta green then distressed the bench before adding the final touch of a glaze tinted brown. 

I love the tall posts on this bench.  To me it makes the bench look so elegant.

After applying the glaze, the color suddenly changed and I love this bench.  We moved it into the living room where I will be able to enjoy it until it finds a new home.

Black & White Desk

SOLD

This desk found a new home in Syracuse, Utah.

We finished this desk today.  It is hard to believe that it was once a yucky brown with gold handles.

   

Dick took the handles and painted them a glossy black. The desk is painted in ivory, distressed then glazed in black.

This desk would make a great piece of furniture for a boy or girl’s room.  They would be able to hide all their treasures in one of seven drawers.

Blue Bench

SOLD

This bench was painted in strawflower, topped with widlflower and glazed in black. We distressed the bench to where the yellow would show through some of the blue.  Very chic-eee I think.  

What a cute addition it will make in the bedroom of the little baby girl that lives in West Haven, Utah.

Yellow Bench

SOLD

This shabby chic bench was painted in strawflower then glazed with brown.  It now resides in Spanish Fork, Utah.

You might just see it in photos taken by Emily.
