Slowly but surely...

Slowly but surely, we will get butter churning again....

Here are some of the latest items--or pieces of art--or of my soul--

A gorgeous chalk painted red/glazed table.  Could be an end table--or an entry way "catch all"
28"W x 21"L x 31"H. 

 

Also posting on Craigslist?!!

 

Here is another blue table--inspired by a dear friend of mine

Vintage end table, 23" W x 23" L x 22" H

I wish I had a place to put this--even though the table is blue, it is "neutral" and goes with everything!





More surprises on the way....

Sewing.....

My attempt to be creative.. With the help of pintrest:  a pillow bed!

I have a "little" coming to visit this week. I think he will love this little piece of coziness!

It's made from "flannel" soft and light and cozy.  The pattern makes me smile.  Here is the other side

My "big" seems to like it....

A few "in progress" pictures:

The pillows are easily removed so it can be washed...and stored.  Just don't look too closely... It appears I am not able to sew a perfectly straight line.  What I love most was that I used my grandmother's sewing machine... Singer circa 1940.  Talk about vintage!  I also made a little cozy blanket... Thanks mom for the material!  So soft.... I think I need a nap!

I have exhausted my creativity for now......

Bye!!!!

Friends-Birthdays-Tables

My sweet friend Amy allowed me to paint a table for her birthday gift.  The table was found at my favorite store... And Amy described the color she wanted...along with a bit of distressing and glazing.... Turned out so GORGEOUS!  I hope you like your table Amy!  I am so blessed to have you for a friend!  

Choices, choices....

Made a trip to my favorite place.  Check out the latest Dirty Butter Scores:

Would be a swanky accent piece.. Maybe a light aqua or a soft gray?

RCA victrola... From the tag, it works.  I would re wire the plug... I may have to keep this because it is so gorgeous!  A bit of paint and.... Swoon!

Vanity anyone?  There is a matching mirror and chair!

Roll top desk.  This is great because it is smaller than most. Good condition!

The inside.  

Nice coffee table...

Also purchased a few more items... If you see anything you like let me know.  I can provide dimensions etc.

Enjoy your day.....

Reserve your piece of butter....

Check out the "Reserve Your Piece" tab of the blog.  What do you think?

Back and better than ever!

With some new found ambition we are back in business.

Let's take a peek at what I have been up to:
Remember this?  Dumpster Dive Diva?

How do you like me now?

Chalk paint...with a light glaze.  Original hardware.

Extra storage is great and the inside is perfect!

We were going to trash our old dresser... But that goes against my " upcycle" frame of mind.

So...... Here it is

It was dark cherry wood...

And now it is a soft robin's egg blue.  Slightly distressed--makes a great statement in our foyer!

Stay tuned for photos of previous items at "work" in their new home!
