2. POWW FAVES
Love this rehabbed combo of two pieces into one beautiful union at 4 the love of wood. Isn't it amazing?
Forever Decorating always comes up with something unique, but this is my favorite piece by Terry to date. I love the beauty of the wood grain on the drawers.
And you guys know I am a sucker fro a bird! Love this armoire makeover from Sarah, aka The Thriftress. She used a Homegoods vinyl for that lovely design!
3. A FUN TABLE MAKEOVER
One of my favorite clients who lives right here in town brought me a table to paint for her. It is not just any table either. Her husband built it back when they were first married, and he did a beautiful job. It is solid, well made, and has wonderful lines.
That picture was taken just after it was sanded. Bridget at first said she wanted a bright blue and we were going to add red or coral knobs as we were coordinating with fabric she had. Then she emailed me and said she was thinking about the darker coral and wanted to know what my thoughts were... I said, "YES!"
I took her fabric with me to Benjamin Moore and when I got there I realized what we thought was a darker coral in her fabric was more of a cranberry red, so I went with my gut and chose another color that I thought coordinated and fit the dark coral mold. It is called Ryan Red by Benjamin Moore, and we went with a glossy undistressed finish. I should also mention that the table was primed first with a tinted primer which is always necessary when working with a red. As you can see in the above pics, the table had no knobs and needed some. I just happened to have two in my stash that I thought were perfect, so I added those and then emailed this picture to Bridget as a little teaser!
She was at work when she saw the picture and told me it brought a smile to her face. So now are you ready to see the whole thing? Good.
This was one very fun project to work on!!!

I've been wanting to try a piece with beautiful stained drawers and a painted body. That's so gorgeous! And I love your coral table!

Love it, as always. I love those glossy, bright colors. I can't wait for my piece :)
Fun color! I love it with the whimsical knob. Did you brush or spray it? The finish is beautiful. I really like this table. Her fabrics are perfect with it. Is she making pillows or curtains out of those? What a pretty room it'll be. Gret job, Cassie!
I wish I lived closer so I could come mingle :) And I love the red table you did. The dragonfly knobs add such a sweet touch of whimsy! Love it!
Those knobs are perfect and the color is really inviting. Wish I was closer so I could attend the lunch, sounds like lots of fun.

oh drat! I would totally come, but we are going to Disney World that weekend. Have a great time!
First of all I wish I could afford a plane ticket to come Virginia for that brunch! :(
Second, I am in LOVE with that table. The bright color is the best. I love that you step out of the box and are risky with your color choices. Those knobs are to die for! And lastly, your client has great taste in fabric!
Take care,
Lisa
Gorgeous color. Great choice. The knobs are adorable.
Looking forward to brunch! Should be so much fun! Love that color - adorable!
Beautiful color and love the drawer knobs! Its great working with colors they can bring so much to a space!
Love it!! Any chance you happen to know what fabrics she is working with? They look beautiful and I'm on the hunt for something fun for my kitchen
What a fun color, and the knobs are so cute!
Darn I want to come mingle! Oh well. Instead I will drool over this fabulous table. That color is great and oh my those knobs are awesome!
Very pretty!
LOVE that table (the red one). Those knobs are awesome too! Ya know, I've had a few custom orders lately that needed red paint and you aren't kidding! Why does it take so many coats??? I guess I need to invest in some tintable primer because painting so many coats is for the birds.
This is beautiful!!!!! I love the color, it's so bright and fresh looking!
Really looking forward to the blogger brunch! Also the furniture makeovers were lovely, especially the coral console with Anthropologie knobs...perfection!
Boo, I wish I could attend the brunch, that would be so much fun!
Great colour choice on the table, it's such a fun piece!
I love your craft! Your pieces are so pretty!
love this orange piece. I do a lot of work with painted furniture and my readers seem to like those types of posts. I would be flattered if you would share this on my Motivated Monday feature at BeColorful.
