Cuties

For Christmas this year I decided to make a few gifts for my family. One of my sisters has two super cute little munchkins(I must say all of my nieces and nephews are exceptionally cute) I though I would try to do a painting for her. I found an ugly old painting on canvas for $2, which is a way smoking deal for a large canvas. I primed it and used some homemade chalk paint to get a fresh clean look. It worked out pretty well.

Retro Highchair.

My little sister found this cute, little retro metal high chair at a garage sale for $1. With a quick spray paint and she had the bright idea to use the recycled bags for your groceries to recover the seat. The entire project cost $4.50. I L-O-V-E IT!!!!!!

two little tables

 I have been having some fun, messing around with some paintings.

I found this ad and thought what a fun idea, a coffee, coffee table.

I am pretty pleased with the end results. I am just learning how to stain, I need some more practice.

Sorry the picture is so bad, I did not have my camera so it had to be done with my phone.

This is a table I picked up for a buck at a yard sale. My oldest son said he wanted a railroad table to use for his art projects. (he loves the railroad because his daddy is a signalman for the railroad) so we have a slight obsession when it comes to trains and railroads.

He found a picture by an artist name CJ Marshall he wanted me to try and do it on the table. So I thought I would give it a try. After many, many hours of painting and one sore back I finished. He LOVED it. 

Sorry again for the picture quality.

Have a Merry and Blessed Christmas Season.

Angel of Music

Now I know these types of pianos are not for everyone, but I sure have fun doing them.

I don't think it was to bad as a before, but I do as I am told.

 I hope you enjoyed. Remember there is always an angel watching over you.

Shabby, Farm, Family Table

I just finished my first post pregnancy project, and it felt good. I pieced together some random pieces to make what I think is quite a lovely dinning set.

 This was a pretty big project, but I am very pleased with the end result.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and receive many blessings.

Coming Soon & a Beautiful Entry

Here is a table I am currently working on. I love this piece. It is a huge solid table.

 See the red benches in the upper right hand corner, those will be refinished to go with this big guy.

 This is my moms' entry and I just thought it was so pretty, I thought I would share.

Hope you all enjoy this beautiful day.

My all time favorite project

I have been very busy the last nine months working on this little guy. I think he turned out perfect.

After months of bed rest, I am now ready to tackle the many ,many projects I have collected.

So please keep on checking back.

Thank you to all our Veterans, and hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
