Small Things

This was just a boring brown before I got ahold of it. Of course, it ended up blue. I put some black glaze on it to make it more interesting. I really like the way it turned out.

Chunky Chest of Drawers Makeover

This is another piece that was laying around my garage taking up a large amount of space. My neighbor was moving and had thrown this guy to the curb. One of the drawers was falling apart and some of the hardware was missing. Like a seemingly crazy person, I asked him to help me move it to my garage.

This is the before:


And the after:

I had someone repair the drawer for me. I then removed the middle pieces of the hardware and patched the holes. I really love this mint green color, probably too much.

Vintage 3 Drawer Chest

I really love small chests like this. There are just so many different ways you can use them around the house.

Shabby Chic Side Table

I forgot to take a before picture but it was just a beaten up flat white table. It had a lot of scratches and whatnot so I decided to try to work with it instead of against it.



This was only my 2nd time ever trying to use glaze so it was a little scary. First, I painted it white, then used heavy blue glaze, then some light distressing, and finally used some clear satin poly to seal it all.

Pink Mirror

I forgot to take a before picture of this but it was just plain boring wood. I decided to try painting it a light pink with black glaze. This was the first time I've ever used glaze before. I thought for sure I was going to ruin the whole thing but everything ended up working out.

resin pendants

I finally got around to pouring the 2nd layer of resin for these pendants! They've been sitting around in my room for ever now. There's actually more that I didn't get to.. Who knows how long those will take. I love the way resin turns out but for some reason I just don't do it that often. All the images are cut from vintage books.
