Doe Re Mi

Had been wanting to paint a deer as of late. Loved the square window I had on hand and slapped some craft brown paper and old hymnals for his backdrop: the woods and their melodies.

Muted Blue Striped Vintage Desk

 After:

Vintage desk refinished with a muted blue coat. I taped off a variety of 2 sized stripes on both the top and down the fronts of both sets of drawers to keep some of her original raw beauty in tact. Complete with seven drawers to store your work place necessities. One really extraordinary perk to this desk is that she is a full 360 refinished; which means, if you'd like, you could put her in the middle of a room with a chair behind it as the back side is painted consistently with the rest. I kept the original hardware as I thought it brought a nice sturdy brass completion.

The season of gifting and creating

A fishing sketch with the topographic map of Steamboat Springs, Colorado and the prospective ski runs for a Fishing-Officiando turned Ski lover.

And a personal favorite, old discarded fence wood turned EAT lettering to don the kitchens of some of my favorite little chefs.

Grey and Mint Dresser turned Vessel Sink

Just recently sold this gem to a family in Silverthorn Colorado who were taking the leap and turning an old dresser into a vessel sink vanity. I'd be ever so eager to see the cozy little mountain bathroom she ended up in and the little hands that might tidy up before dinner at her frame. I loved the mint glass geometrically shaped knobs fort he bottom two drawer. I had to keep the top two with her original knobs as a little relic of the past always keeps us grounded.  She had the loveliest of trims and added embellishments.

Chevron Black and Gold Dresser

Picked this little gem up and wanted to add a little extra class and pizazz. After sanding her down, I taped off the sides and liked the raw wood color to paint chevron. I loved the original knobs and so wanted to try and maintain them and work around their style. The top 2 drawers were lined with a unique print paper. I really like the size and think it would be really sweet in a little boy's bedroom or to don a corner room and display your gold trimmed fancy bar necessities. 

Black and Gold Classy Dresser

Refinished antique 4 drawer dresser. Lovely and delicate but not too feminine legs and the subtle trim between the drawers. She comes with four varying sized drawers to store your clothes and goodies. This was sanded down and painted black and distressed just ever so subtly to see the wood barely wear through. Unique gold knobs from Anthropologie that compliment the classic gold keyholes on each drawer.

Dimensions:

Milo's little Bookshelf

Our dearly beloved little neighbors had an old bookshelf that they wanted refinished with a little childlike charm.  I hauled it home and began contemplating what possibilities I actually wanted to endeavor with this one.  It would be going in little Miles' room which needed a little bit of color help. There were lots of muted greys and blues with a really fun painting above his changing table. The painting had a variety of bright colors so I shot for a turquoise pop. I wasn't about to paint the whole thing turquoise as I wanted to maintain a little masculine class with the wood, so I landed on an internal color external neutral wood.  Plus they ended up getting an orange chevron rug that tied in some of the other hues in that painting. All in all I found it to be really dear and timeless. Harper was helping me get a few toys in order and good book seemed to catch her eye- my kinda girl.
