The Best of 2012

If you had told me 5 years ago that I would make a career out of painting and refurbishing furniture I probably would have turned around to see who you were talking to.  Surely not me.  Yet here I am, doing what I love and making money doing it.  I asked Denise the other day how many pieces of furniture she thinks we have sold.  Her answer?  A lot.

Here are some of our faves from 2012:

A dumpster-dive mission turned up this old desk that just needed a little love.

A gorgeous dresser that we painted for another vendor at the Barn.

An apothecary table that had a few customers at Clover Market fighting over.

An old dresser that we picked up at a yardsale for $10 without any doors.  No problemo - we just added a few baskets and sold it as a TV console!

Can you tell black was a theme last year?  This beautiful piece sold to another vendor at Clover last Fall.

Our first piece using MMS's Milk Paint.  It sold within minutes of setting up.

Hated letting go of this baby.

And a couple of my personal projects from last year:

I transformed my formal Dining Room set into a more casual and rustic set, starting with the buffet.

It went from this:

To this:

And my Craig's List kitchen set went from this:

to this (buh-bye chickens):

And here's a look at our first projects of 2013, already in the Barn and waiting for a new home.

The Hubs got me a Canon Rebel for Christmas and I'm still in the process of learning how to use it (thank you YOUTUBE!).  Hopefully better pictures will be the near future!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulicious day!
