Beautiful French Hutch "Carrie"

Sorry people...this one's already gone. ;-)

I've named this french hutch after her new owner

"Carrie". :-)

She snatched it up before I painted it,

and is even the sweet owner of the

French Blue Nightstand and

the Farmhouse Table I just finished up!

Dare I say she's a lucky girl?!

"Carrie"

First of all, I'm super bummed that these picts.

had to be taken in the garage, but she was getting picked up!

I used:

ASCP Old White exterior with ASCP Clear Wax.

ASCP Paris Gray interior with Johnson's Paste Wax.

Light distressing. ;-)

Carrie wanted chicken wire SO bad,

and thanks to my

super duper ah-MAZ-ing hubby,

Ta-Da! :-D

It's all glass with chicken wire

behind the side glass pieces.

This picture shows the distressing much better.

I had to get some PINK in there too! Lol

The lower cabinet "drawers" are actually a door!

Cool, huh?

SHARING AT:

Antionette Pink Stanley Dresser

I'm SO excited! (do I always say that?)

Anyway......

This dresser is SOOOO pretty!!!

This was the dresser that I found on

Craiglist that I imagined to be a fun coral color.

Like a lot of the pieces I do...that.changed.  ;-)

I snatched up some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in

the new color "Antionette".

And here is....

"Angelina"

When I saw this for sale, I instantly pictured it in a little girl's room!

It, of course, could have other applications - just sayn'. ;-)

This is a picture without the middle door on.

(I kind of like it like that!)

A view of the top that was "washed" in ASCP Paris Gray.

Here is an idea of the color next to our white couch cushion!

Here is the color swatch on AnnieSloan.com

The color is a bit closer to this pink.

Dimensions are: 64" wide x 19" deep x 32" tall

$340 cash

 Contact me for arrangements.

Here is the before:

I always love a fun after!!! :-D

The piece was finished as follows:

~ASCP Antionette (not distressed)

~Annie Sloan Clear Wax

~Original Hardware spray painted in Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze

~The top and interior drawers were sanded,

then "washed" with ASCP Paris Gray

and sealed with Annie Sloan Clear Wax

I hope you are having a great week! I myself am

super sore from working out getting ready for summer ~

anyone feel my pain??? ;-)

See you again soon!

Distressed French Blue Twin Bed

I couldn't believe I contacted the person

selling this bed and they were literally across the busy

highway next to our house - the equivalent of two doors down.

Hard to beat that! ;-)

It's actually a very old bed that needed a lot of repair.

It's not perfect, but I think it turned out quite pretty.

It's these kind of pieces that make my girls go crazy!

Lol - they're like me just wanting to keep every piece. ;-)

I finished this piece in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

Duck Egg Blue/Old White mix and

sealed it with Polycrylic.

It needed to be glued, clamped, decals were falling off, oiy!

It also did not come with siderails so I ordered up some

new hardware (which fits PERFECT~yay!) and

made up some painted wood siderails to match.

It also has one brand new wheel since one was missing.

I have never seen another bed like this, and

I am SO thrilled with all of the beautiful

details on the headboard and footboard!

LOOK at the LEGS on this beauty!!!

The inside of the footboard is refinished as well.

And the BEFORE:

AFTER:

Fit for a pretty little princess I believe! :-)

$275 cash

Thanks for stopping in!

or

Twitter!

On a side note...some of you have inquired about "my" music.

Hmmm??? You all know I have a degree in Music Ministry, right?

Well...now you do! Haha!

I don't write many songs or have an album or anything,

but I'd be willing to record a little something

to share with you. I do it every week anyway! ;-)

Am I setting myself up for embarrassment and scrutiny?

Do you really want me to do that???

Love ya guys!

Have a FANTASTIC weekend!!!

Cream and Turquoise Distressed Farmhouse Table

Not too long ago, I told my facebook fans that

I had a fantastic farmhouse table I was getting ready

to work on and I really wanted their input.

They didn't disappoint!!! ;-)

Here's what I came up with:

The table is solid wood.

3' x 5'

$225 cash

Contact me at rustichic@gmail.com for arrangements.

I imagine this table with chairs that are either

TRADITIONAL

OR

TRENDY

Which one would you pair with the table?

I love both!

OHHHH!!! A BEFORE OF COURSE!

Just a plain 'ol wood table. ;-)

See you again soon ~ getting photos

of the twin french bed today! ;-)
