A Quiet Little Corner

Hi everyone, Its Saturday morning, and today is filled with BCOW(Beach Cottage On Wheels), now to be known as Gracie (that's right she finally has a name). Tell you more on that later. Today is build out day (basically all the molding and anything else that requires carpentry is going to happen today). So that will keep me busy.

This morning while drinking coffee I felt like a small project (just what I need another project). So I looked around the house and decided this space needed something. I thought a quiet corner.

So I cleaned off the top of this dresser, and the memo board. I put out these zinc candleholders and silver tray (which I already had). Moved my French pig, and Walmart radio over (I know the evil empire, but I love some of their stuff and you can't beat their prices).
Wa La a little inspirational corner, play a little music, light a few candles. Also a few inspirational bits on the memo board, and a great place to walk by and feel relaxed for a sec.

The dresser has its own story, as black does not usually fall into my palette. I designed and had this piece built for a local shop, black did fall into her palette. So after a year of no orders (plenty of interest), I decided to pull all the pieces. After some debate with myself (I know you do the same thing too), I decided not to paint it and to put it here. Sometimes you have to throw a zinger, this is mine.

And a little white rose to top everything off.

Ok now I'm getting back to work. I hope this corner relaxes me even for a sec today.

Have a good weekend.

See everyone next time......

French Blue Dresser

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't blogged in a little while, I have been really busy doing design boards and I'm now just plain tired of hot glue and fabric samples. I didn't forget about you, the dresser from last post is done and looking quite lovely in french blue. She came out really well. You don't have to take my word on it see for yourself........

This is her with her primer coat, you can start seeing the potential there.

Here she is with all her coats of paint, but she is still getting more layers.......

And here all done, I think she looks great. Here are some more close ups......

And the final touch, lined drawers. Actually some toile wallpaper from a yard sale 3 rolls for a $1.00. I love transforming vintage pieces it makes me feel good to enhance their beauty.

See you all next time......
