Sassy Little Table and Chairs

This little set is composed of all rescued pieces.  Took forever to collect it all, but once I found the table I knew that the chairs would eventually turn up!  I just love how it turned out :)

Of course, I was so excited about painting it all that I forgot to take before pictures.  Anyway, first I painted each of the chairs in a bright Valspar Spring color from Lowes.  Those little sample sizes are the perfect size to paint one chair and have a bit left over.

Next, I painted the table white and then painted stripes of each color down the center.

and stenciled a lace pattern in white over the stripes.  I used a lace curtain panel that I bought at a church thrift store for $1.00.

I sealed everything with poly-acrylic for durability, and wah-lah ~ a bright and cheerful game/craft table for the game room!

I also found a vintage Lazy Susan at the thrift store that I painted to match the set, green on top and pink underneath.

Linking up to a fabulous little blog called Addicted to Decorating.

New Projects

I have been so crazy busy for the past couple of weeks, but now we are on vacation at Disney World.  I figure now is a great time to update the blog while hubby has the kids at Magic Kingdom.  All of the rich food has me laid up a bit today, so I am chilling in the quiet hotel room.  Here are some of the things I have been working on while neglecting my blog :)

I found this sad little chair at the same estate sale that I got the pink dresser from the last post.  I had seen much better days.

 and AFTER

I also finished this new dresser.  I wanted to paint it a blue-gray, but hubby just knew it would be lovely in pink...I think he was right!

BEFORE

and AFTER

I filled in the carvings with wood putty and sanded them smooth.

Leaving you with some fun pictures from Disney World!

Colorful Mickeys were so pretty all piled together!

The kids at the Grand Floridian ~ gotta love the vintage Cadillac!

These balloons were everywhere!  Rather than pay mucho dollars for one and have it deflate, I decided to take a picture that would last forever (and I got more than one!)

I just love Cinderella's Castle and the rose garden, and you can see how crowded it is this week :)

Pretty in Pink

We picked up this dresser at an estate sale in Alvin last weekend.  I have been dying to paint something pink, so this was the perfect opportunity!  The poor thing was in worse shape than I thought when we bought it.  It didn't have a back (did not know until we moved it) and it is missing most of the rods that keep the drawers stable (did not know until I started painting).  It also needed a fierce cleaning and sanitizing!

BEFORE:

and AFTER a lot of love and patience...

I also purchased this AMAZING antique mirror for a whopping $25.  Hubby wanted me to sell it, but I told him that either I keep the $25 mirror or I was going to the antique store and purchase one of equal size for a whole lot more!

Forgot to take a picture before I started painting :)

and AFTER ~ it goes beautifully with the pink dresser!

Leaving you with a picture of Blythe trying to figure out where this other puppy came from and why it is staring at her :)

Thanks for popping by!

A Few Vintage Finds

I found these old cards when I was scanning some old family photos and thought that I would share them with everyone.  I just LOVE vintage cards!  I can't believe that I am old enough now to call my baby cards vintage ~ LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!!
