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.

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

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!!!

Antique Dresser - "Jackson"

I'm SO excited about this dresser I just
finished up. I always have an idea of what
I want to do when I buy a piece of furniture, and
this one was going to be painted.
But when I saw this wood after sanding a bit,
I HAD to change my plans because it is SO pretty!

I've decided to name this piece

"Jackson"

Big difference, huh?!
