White!

Happy Fall Everyone.

 

I am  here to share a few projects today, but first off check out my facebook page,

the junk in our trunks.

So here we go. White seems to be my color this month.

 

This first project is a great little hutch, with beautiful clean lines. I found this beauty sitting on the side of the road and fell in love.

 I chose to  paint her, because the finish was just not pretty.

I LOVE this hutch. I actually had a buyer and backed out because I am just not ready to part ways.

 One more look.

 My second white project was another road side rescue.
This gal was a weird, hodge podge piece that was I think a makeshift night stand.

BEFORE

I added some paint  and some legs (I also got off the side of the road) and a little bling.

 I think this piece looks great so distressed.

........ and for the last project in white,

I got this baby off of good old CL for a smoking price of $30 dollars. I love this piece, because I have very little wall space in my glass house.

Hope you like her.

 I did a very minimal amount of distressing on this one.

I added this cute little chevron knob.

Here is the little amount of distressing I did. This little ghost seems to be happy.

This is the first time all of the projects are for my own home. I am one happy lady!
 Hope you enjoyed, and again check out and follow me on facebook at thejunkinourtrunks.

Dandelion Season

I just finished up and sold my first dandelion dresser, wish, then it seemed like everyone wanted one. So in one week I did three of the same style dresser.

The first one the nice gal picked out what dresser she wanted, which happened to be one of my own, that has several looks.

 This is the original look from a couple of years ago.

Then to this for a couple of days. Just wasn't feeling it.

 To this which I loved, (I want to do another similar some day,
but I thought hey why not wreck something you like by distressing the hell out of it. Then I got this.

Not my favorite.
This gal stayed like this a while until my girls asked for a paper doll dresser. So I came up with this.

The black is even chalkboard paint, so they could color in the girl and the outfits.

 

So now my girls no longer need a dresser, my lovely client chose this dresser to be her very own dandelion dresser.

I replaced all the knobs with vintage pulls and glass knobs on the top. I did a home made turquoise with a white wash.

 

My third wanted something pretty close to my original, for her sweet babies nursery.

 

 This guy too, was a roadside rescue. He had a broken drawer and needed some minor repairs, but had pretty good and solid structure. So my awesome husband framed in the top and repaired the skirt on the bottom.

I replaced the old pulls with some pretty glass pulls.

 

 

Both ladies where very happy with their own Dandelion Dresser.

Saturday Scores

Hi there, today is my favorite day of the week, and I am here to share my scores.

 

 

I actually rescued this guy and he has an identical twin from the roadside.

I can picture these guys a pretty white, or maybe a pale blue, so many options and so many details . 

 



Here's another big one. She would make a great buffet or tv cabinet.

 This little beauty has some great legs.

 

 This guy was screaming at me as soon as I got out of the car. Beautiful solid wood, dove tailed drawers. Look how proud he his. Sweet and sturdy.

 

 Drum rollllllllll please,  MY FAVORITE find of the day.
Isn't she so pretty.

 

I love this piece.

 

 All pieces are available for custom finishes.

 

Thank you for stopping by.

Lovely Little French Gal

I found this little mess on the side of the road, and was so excited to bring her home. She found a home quickly, with a sweet woman, who wanted a custom look. I LOVE how she turned out.

Vintage Holy Card table.

I saw this vintage holy card at the Graphics Fairy, I just thought was very beautiful. I wanted to try the wax paper transfer, before I started some signs. I had a little table sitting around, so I gave it a quick paint job, and transferred the graphic. The image came up  a little light, so I darkened it up. I am quite pleased with how it has turned out.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed, have a very blessed an happy day.

It's Getting Hot In Here

I got this guy with hopes of adding some embellishment's and doing a nice shabby white, but this guy had other ideas.



 

See those weird snake tail pieces on the front, well I thought I would be able to pop those suckers right off. NOPE! Those things are not going anywhere. So my wise husband kept saying make it flames. So for two days I ignored him. Then I got this bright idea, MAKE IT FLAMES. So my little white shabby chic dreams where squashed and turned into a boy treasure box. So here we go with some flames.

I thought I would do something fun on the inside, and came up with this, from a clip art piece. I think it turned out pretty cool.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
