Victorian era BED MAKE OVER!

I went PICKIN' last Thursday and scored lots of great treasures. This is by far my favorite treasure! It is a Victorian Era Bed! I painted it a soft gray, but only 1 coat of paint, to give it a "worn look".

My friend "The Patina Nest"

My Friend, and "PICKIN' PARTNER", Whitney has a shop called "The Patina Nest" She will be setting up at TreasureSpotters tomorrow, along with me and several other vendors! She has some great industrial lighting and other pieces that I love! Check her FB page out! Just go to FB and search The Patina Nest. She has a great booth in The Antique Company Mall in Historic Down Town McKinney! If you are ever in the area, you MUST go visit this girl!!

A great day of PICKIN'

BOY, I'm tired! I got up early this morning and went "pickin"!! My husband and my friend Whitney and I headed out this morning and got back just a little bit ago! I must say....a truck and trailer full later I am on cloud NINE! I will be at a show this weekend called "TREASURE SPOTTERS" in Mckinney TX. I have lots of new treasures to share!! If you are in the area, stop in and visit!!

Cute & Creative Linky Party #7

Distressed Furniture!

I love DISTRESSED furniture!! Do you call it Cottage, French Country, or Shabby Chic? Whatever you call it, distressed furniture creates a comfortable yet elegant home. Up-cycling tired & unwanted furniture, rather than buying new will allow you to customize your own one-of-a-kind piece of furniture! If you're on a tight budget, Shabby Chic is the way to go! I have several clients who will ask me to bring new life to old pieces that were hand me downs. That is the smartest way to redecorate on a budget, and still keep the heirlooms in the family! I love what I do!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to all of my wonderful clients who allow me the honor of working on your favorite pieces!!

Happy New Year!

As I start my journey into 2012, my prayer will be that each of you will join me! I am new to the blog world, but so far I have been lovin' every minute of it! I love being part of such creative chaos! May you all be blessed this year!
