Sold 🌸

A gentleman purchased this yesterday for his granddaughter. How sweet he is! ☺️

Today is a furniture break while I finish up the garden. I'm late getting my things planted since we rebuilt it. Rebuilding is a lot harder but it was failing and now with cedar it isn't going anywhere for a long time. Is your garden in? Please tell me I'm not the only lat one!

I purchased a cute bedroom set last week and guess what.....its fully painted. I guess I really like to eat my words and challenge myself. 🀣

Happy Monday!

"Fablewood Mauve"

While not a color that is typical to my style, its lovely. I said it. Pink, red, purples are not me but I decided to branch out a little and challenge myself. It's just paint, I know that, but leaving your comfort zone can be a huge challenge. My mind doesn't work in girly colors, my daughter is quite the opposite. I play it safe and use colors that are soothing to my eyes and style and can be used with any color scheme.

So here is my take on "granny core" that is sweeping the trends. Thankfully I found hardware that I swear was meant to be after the twice delivered shipment of broken hardware. The floral k***s match the drawer liner (I guess I under measured despite never doing that before) perfectly. A little whimsy that is not to heavy.

This piece is solid wood but more vintage than antique. Dove tails are on the backside of the drawers. We made sure all the drawer tracks work well and attached new backing to the entire piece.

So there you have it. What do you think? Would grandma be proud? πŸ˜‰ How cute would this be in a nursery, a dressing room, a glow up room, anywhere!

PS...this color is more rosy that peachy. If I edit the photos it looks awful and washed out. This is in daylight.

Reveal day!

I hope you all had a nice weekend. It rained most of the weekend here and yesterday was a mad dash to get the outdoor projects going. We actually joked Saturday felt like fall. Not cool!!

I need a bit to get good pictures. This morning light doesn't help me. I'm very excited about this piece. Hurdles didn't keep me from finishing it AND its better than I originally planned. The hardware matches perfectly!!

The look is complete!

I'll reveal at noon πŸ˜‰ This beauty is available.

...and to top it all off yesterday I ran out of drawer liner. I needed enough for 1 more drawer. I just laughed. What else am I going to do? Today I am on the hunt for hardware. I will find something beautiful!

Amazon had one job.

Now I get to run and drop off a return and wait for a replacement. Why would they send porcelain handles in an envelope? Duh!

I'll have this beautiful tall dresser ready for Friday. The color, I'll admit, is quite pretty. I'm excited to see the finished look!

Tell me your thoughts?

Since "Granny Core" is the new esthetic, these seem to be in that profile. I love all things from my grandma, I wish I had more. Are you too embracing the feelings of "what was" and incorporating more of that in your home? I can say I kind of always have been. To me, history helps make a home comfortable. However, I'm not wallpapering my walls yet!

So...hardware. Love it or not for you? I've ordered it for this dresser I'm working on because it fits the vibe completely. The hutch is on a momentary pause until we can figure this drawer out.

Good morning 🧑

When the weather finally improves, I always feel the need to hurry and get the projects going. Long winters make me yearn to spend as much time outside as possible before it shows up again.

One thing on my wish list was a trellis/arbor. Allen did a great job as always πŸ’™ making my vision a reality for our home. Of course I have to put my spin and flair on it. We had some decorative corbels he bought on super clearance years ago and we finally found a spot for them. I painted them to match our siding. Next weekends project is to get the back side of our house painted. Our siding installer didn't do the best job last fall so we have some repairs to make. I'll do the full reveal when everything is completed.

What projects do you have for your home this summer?

Next piece and its a gem πŸ’₯

It's pretty clear this one needs work. It's no fun unless we are making things new again. Thats what I tell myself anyway. I always love the forgotten pieces.

The wood trim on the doors is called Muntins. These are really hard to recreate. This ine is broken but I have an idea today to see if I can keep it. In my mind its necessary to add to the antique charm. We have a guy who could make a new one but I'm trying this first. These hold the glass in the door so there is no rattle. These are all sondifferent and most people remove them instead of trying to keep/fix/replace. I've had to do it at times with no other option. No bondo or wood putty will fix missing sections.

The color is still a surprise. Some might not like it, but I truly hope its turns out beautifully.

Should I paper the backing of the hutch to stand out or keep the wood tones inside and focus on the antique beauty?
