My New Hutch

Im loving my new hutch and my new favorite color voyage by Behr.  We are in the middle of moving into a new house in a couple of weeks and my whole life is in boxes.  Im so excited to be moving into a bigger house Iv'e had the paint colors picked out for months and now Im fanatically painting new furniture to go into my new space.  I can't wait to start showing you before and after pictures of my house.  
   This hutch is going to go into my dining room and will hold all my fiesta ware.  I painted the outside to match my dinning room table its the same distressed taupe and white.  The inside blue is voyage and I love it a lot- my plan is to use it as one of the accent colors in the dinning room.  
I don't have a before picture but it was just plain white I added the wood details.

Look at me I'm Fancy

I really like this coffee table the curves and detail are very sophisticated.  I used my new favorite color antique tin by Behr and I also changed the color of the shinny silver metal details.  It has a nice leather top that I didn't have to rip off or anything- win win!!!  (O yeah did I mention it sold before it even left the garage!)

Back to Black

This dresser needed a face lift, it lived its whole life with one family being passed around to all the kids.  I had to sand a lot of phone numbers off of it (apparently they didn't have paper in the house)  I wanted it to have a more primitive look.   Black is classy and nice but with everything I do I had to make it interesting so I added a little detail. 
 I forgot to take an all-put-together picture so this is as good as we get~

Birdcage Lamp

I love interesting and unique lamps so when I came across this lamp base I immediately started searching for a unique lamp shade for it.  The lamp base was more brass colored and I used some teal rub-n-buff to age and distress it.  The bird  cage I found already looked old and I thought they were a match made in bird lamp heaven.  I added some wood stained vellum to filter the light from the bulb.  After I took pictures I had an after thought and added a bird nest with speckled eggs (pic coming soon)
