A Bit Of Whimsy

This is our new dining table.  I love the soft colors and the giant comfy chairs. It makes me want to get a dress on and have a tea party.  I absolutely love it and really wish we had a dining area where I can put chairs on both side and just have more room around it, but oh well!











The table color is Sherwin Williams Veiled Violet and sealed with Minwax Natural Finishing Paste. The chairs are painted with Valspar La Fonda in Flat.  I recovered the seats with a table cloth from Target and added plastic covering to protect from my toddlers.  The chairs are also sealed with finishing paste.  The top is stained with a Minwax Jacobean and English Chestnut mixture.  It is sealed with Rustoleum Clear Enamel Spray Paint, my favorite for a glossy durable surface.

Chic Grey Dresser

We received this dresser for free...awesome!!  The drawers are fantastic and the piece is solid.  the only downside was that the top wasn't wood, but I got over it!  This is Zachie's dresser now, even though I tried to steal it for myself and one point.  I added some fun paper to the drawer fronts and gave it some new hardware.










The color is Sherwin Williams Tin Smith.  It is sealed with Minwax Natural Finishing Paste.

About Me

My photo
Growing up we never realized that we could make or change our furniture. Now that we are old and grown..ha..we realized that you can do anything you want to do. We like finding an old battered piece of furniture and seeing what we can make of it. We find joy in the journey and love seeing our pieces go to someone who loves them. Our house is slowly changing to whatever we want it to be and we are loving seeing the transformation.
