Shabby Pair of Side Tables
These were a fun pair that a friend dropped off. Incredibly old antiquing wood with really interesting detail. They just don't make them like they used to. You can tell the sides extend on a hinge that when pulled out, a hidden bar or wedge can be pulled out for the side to rest on. I considered changing the knobs as I love a fresh look on the old, but couldn't bear to change too much and bring too much attention to the change. You can find them in the living room of a dear friend, along with other treasures I've created sprinkled around their house.

Pueblo Vida Brewing; Commissioned Gift
This was a pretty fun and simple project. A friend from Denver who now lives in Tuscon Arizona contacted me to make something for a friend for their 30th birthday. He had recently opened a brewery downtown, Pueblo Vida, and she thought it would be special to have something custom made for the walls at the new pub. I quite tend to agree.
I had some old fence wood in stock to make a canvas and used their company branding to recreate on the pallet frame. Needless to say it was a happy project!

Sailor Blue Side Table
BEFORE: |
AFTER: |
I had recently found this Blue Milk Paint to be so subtle and rich and therefore was pretty excited to give an old vintage side table a fresh start. This gem sat in the basement for what seems like the longest time waiting for the perfect knob. I could have brought home a course of 7 different options, just sure it would be a smashing hit. And each seemed to incompatible in some measure.
Finally 3 lovely Anthropologie painted knobs found their home on her drawer fronts.
She's up for sale: easily found on Etsy:
