Lamp Black Buffet
Lamp Black Buffet A few months ago, Marc and I were invited out to a barn to do some picking. This beautiful mahogany dresser was one of the pieces I bought during the trip. Because it had a dark mahogany stain, and I needed a super quick makeover, I opted for a classic color choice - Lamp Black...
Lamp Black Dresser with Java Gel Stain
When I paint furniture, I like to match the makeover with the piece itself. Based upon its shape and style, I can kind of "see" what it would look good in. When I saw this dresser for sale at Morgantown Market, it had an orange finish on it and I envisioned it looking much more handsome with...
Navy Roundup
Oh Navy...you're clean, classy and have incredible coverage. I stinkin' love painting with navy and it's my go-to color choice when I'm dealing with a piece of furniture that isn't speaking to me. There are SO many gorgeous navy colors on the paint market for you to choose from, but my...
French Provincial Chest of Drawers

Nightstand Roundup
Nightstands are by far my quickest selling type of furniture! They trump buffets, dressers and side tables by far.

I'm not sure if I've ever counted up how many pieces of furniture that I've painted in the past 6 years or so, but a large majority of them have a very similar style - Depression Era. This era of furniture covers from 1920 - 1940 and has some characteristic features like routered details, veneer,...
Coastal Blue Music Cabinet
On Monday, a friend of mine invited me over to her brand new home that she just purchased with her husband. As they're fixing it up, she generously gave me the chance to look at and purchase some furniture pieces that were in the house that they didn't want. Out of all the diamonds in...
Coastal Blue Waterfall Nightstands
Vintage nightstands are not easy pieces to locate for me. Vintage vanities, however, are never in short supply! So when I find myself in need of a pair ofnightstands, I often go searching for a vanity to split apart to make my own set of custom nightstands! Such was the...
Coastal Blue Dresser
People often ask me where I find my pieces. The honest answer is "everywhere". I'm seriously not dodging the question and refusing to reveal my sources when people ask. It's the honest truth! I literally go everywhere - hit yard sales, auctions, thrift stores, the side of...
