Brown Dog Vintage

09/28/2019

It’s been a while since I’ve posted or made ugly furniture pretty. Mainly due to working too much and no time and recently due to injury and more time on my hands then I know what to do with. Recently, I discovered chalk art. I know it’s been around a few years, but I’m never tried it until a week ago when I made chalk board signs for my preschool grandsons. Then, an obsession took over. It’s not as neat and organized as I would have liked it. All in all, I am very pleased at how it turned out!This is my first real chalk art for a cute, fun and special little girl that is having a Moana themed birthday party today. Happy 2nd Birthday sweet Maggie!

The best part it's all for me!!!!

It has been a while since I've posted or for that matter picked up a paint brush. I have this petite cutie in need of of some love. This will be a custom order for a coworker of mine who is having her first baby- a little girl:) nursery will be grey and coral. They have already picked out what looks like an old dry sink to be used as a changing table , can't wait to see how it looks in her new room!

What am I doing on this day off??? Cleaning and organizing. Is this what I really want to be doing? No, not really. But, I feel I must before I can do another creative thing. So many projects, not enough space.

I know I said Brown Dog is closed today, but I have this thought and need to put it out there before I forget.
On Sunday, I was gifted two pieces of furniture, very heavy pieces of furniture. Thank you Dan Henze!Now, what to do with them. One is a no brainer, armoire in excellent shape, has character, and really cool hardware. I love me some blues and greens and obsessed with all shade of turquoise. So you see where I'm going with that piece, will include pic.
Now, the second piece. Currently I have my workshop stuff on it because I'm in desperate need of shelves for organization. But, I don't want this big piece of furniture in my garage forever. Here's the piece and here are my ideas:
Actual entertainment center is bottom photo.
