Turquoise Hutch

A Hutch

A turquoise hutch that was maroon, then black, now Turquoise.


I wanted something to display all my junk treasures, but was functional as well.



This is the 3rd turquoise Hutch I have painted -  I love the color.
Found Here: Hutch number 1 
You think I wouldn't be shocked by how bright the paint is.  Then I put the glaze on and whew it tones it down, I can take my sunglasses off!


I am never sure I am going to like it and then. . .



I start filling up the shelves with my stuff.


I not only love milk white glass, but vintage pitchers and ice cream/fruit bowls, and I almost forgot cake holders. 




I am wondering if this Hutch will be another color in a couple of years? 



My helper, as much as I love painting, I love these little people more.  He gets all the umbrellas and twirls and then lines them up. adorable!

I swear they don't need toys. even though He just had a birthday, and squealed with joy at the presents.

I am sure I will tweak the arrangement of stuff, and maybe even move it to another wall, but for now I am happy it is done.






Would you dare put this color in your house? The color is brighter than in real life - excuse my photo skills.

Paint color -  Color Place cozumel aqua - 91402 (Walmart)

White Chiffarobe (armoire/wardrobe) Before and After


Love- a profound intense affection for someone or something.
That is how I describe my feelings for this chiffarobe!

I Love it!


It is a beautiful piece of Thomasville furniture.
I love everything about it.  If it had been in better shape, I may not have painted it.  It had tons of dings and very flaky dry wood.

Holy Bucket of rust! Before and after Twin hot pink iron bed

Holy Bucket of Rust!
I bought this bed for a song, but I wasn't singing for long.
It was rusted so bad, and it took a lot of love and elbow grease to make it look nice
I fell in Love with it and it is my baby!



It is metal and iron and so cool! 


The headboard


The foot board



the rails I wish all the new beds were made this way. You can see the rust.


For fun, a nightstand


Primed


during, I always turn things upside down. Ready for the AFTER!


MY NEW FAVORITE!


The bed


The cool bed frame


Smooth and sleek after blood sweat and tears!


I love the lines of this nightstand



another angle, because it's so cute!


Both the bed and the nightstand were painted with
Krylon Watermelon pink and glazed with Valspar antiquing glaze - Asphaltum which is black.


one more, just because



and, of course a chicken wire memo board to match!


Taking applications for a good home!

Four Poster bed!

This bed was a special order for cute Addie!
Her Mom had another baby girl and they needed a big girl bed!
I love the four posters!

Not very often do I see the furniture I paint in peoples homes!
Addie's Mom took a picture for me and I thought I would share with you.

I love the quilt and pillows!

Addie is a lucky little girl!

Thanks Bobbi for the pictures!
I bought a dresser & a hutch from Bobbi to paint!
It was hers from when she was a little girl.
I told her she would be sorry she sold it, when she saw how cute it was going to be!
p.s. Bobbi doesn't look like she had a baby!
