Peeps.
I'm so behind in showing you all my before and afters.
Here's two of my recent faves. First is Daisy the dry sink:
Daisy before:
I used DIY chalky paint with calcium carb in a Sherwin Williams 'Watery' Color-to-Go sample.
I used her original hardware, using some Brasso to shine them up.
I'm having a hard time parting with her. May need to keep her as a bedside table in the new house. :)
Next up is Annie, from 1850....so says the English ironstone pitcher and basin:
Here's her original incarnation:
She was treated to American Paint Company's 'Blue Jeans', then 'Home Plate'. I used a baby wipe to rub back the white to reveal the blue, which compliments the ironstone so well!
I have several others to show you too, but that's it for now!
I have another market coming up as well as some more custom orders to do this week, and 3 SUPER big announcements to tell you about! My life is crazy full with awesomeness right now :)
Hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day festivities tomorrow.
Me? I"m heading down to a family picnic then VIP tickets to see
MUMFORD & SONS!
(compliments of my brother who is their booking agent....that's him being kissed by Winston)
Wahoo :)

Wow that's some history you've got there - beautiful transformations !!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight!
Hugs,

Oooh, I like that blue peeking through the white, will have to try that!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to have that dry sink! I'm STILL looking for a dresser...
ReplyDeleteBrenda

LOVE the transformations! Have fun at the concert - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLeann
They look great! Watery is an awesome color. Have fun at the concert!
ReplyDelete1. I must have a dry sink now. It's non-negotiable.
ReplyDelete2. I used to love Mumford & Sons before the radio played them all day, every day. When we were trying to get rid of our raccoons, we had the radios blasting 24-7. It was the running joke that there must only be four artists that stations are allowed to play: Taylor Swift, Pink, Justin Timberlake and M & S. I wanted to shoot myself in the head. Also the unnecessary bad language (even though it's edited)(but not on my Pandora-yikes!)totally bums me out because I'm not in 7th grade. BUT. I bet they are amazing live!!
Keep Daisy! She's too cute to ever part with her!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to go watch a band with VIP status! I was lucky enough to be able to do that for seven years!
ReplyDeleteLove your before & afters, loving the sinks too.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from happy hour. First time around
Beautiful before and afters...great transformations!

ReplyDeleteLove Daisy! That color looks so nice! Have fun at Mumford & Sons! I bet they put on an amazing show!!
ReplyDeleteHi, visiting from DIY Showoff. I love that you kept Daisy's original hardware. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDaisy is amazing! And I love that shade of blue!

I would be thrilled if you have the chance to share this at our new Fall DIY Challenge if you haven't already- today we are linking up BLUE projects - old or new! Hop over to The Happy Housie to share yours! Hope to see ya there!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!! It looked so grandma country before, but you made it beautiful! Thanks for sharing at our Get Your DIY on Fall Link Party. You helped make week one a success! I hope you'll join us again on Sunday. Our theme is fall wreaths :)

You are so clever at furniture make-overs. I love how you name them too! Both are adorable - how could you ever part with them!? :-)
ReplyDeleteI featured your pretty dry sink today on Mod Mix Monday at Mod Vintage Life! It's so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove the both the stands, and am featuring the first one on my party tomorrow! How exciting to have gotten to see Mumford & Son and have such a close tie to them!
