What am I?

In actuality, this is a vintage plant stand.

Now it has a multitude of uses, from the kitchen and storing dishes to the bedroom holding bags, sweaters, or shoes (unless you are like Sweethomewhever and need a room for shoes), or back to the garden holding flowers as it was originally intended. This piece is so "anthropologie", it would be perfect in their store. Available at Troy Antiques for $38

Promises. . .

of things to come. . .

I'm working on a wonderful chic shabby table and chair set. Hopefully it will be finished by the weekend.

Indecision. . .

Sometimes it's just difficult to decide on a paint color. . . And then there are times a customer wants to match drapes. . . Case in point-a customer asked me to paint her cabinet to match the stripe drapes, therefore, the tri-colored cabinet. The white cabinet was first dry-brushed in blue (Tiffany Box blue) then dry-brushed in mustard. Delivered today, the cabinet is now back at home.

Already sold. . .

This decorative iron piece didn't last long in the shop--it was too perfect. It lives now with a family in Troy.

Change of heart. . .

Once a vintage chest of drawers now a television/entertainment cabinet--perfect for a girl's room or a chic and shabby cottage. The "once upon a time" chest has been painted white and distressed togive it a worn look. Available at Troy Antiques, $68.

Quite a contrast. . .

This small chest of drawers can function in many locations--perfect chic and shabby furniture for the cottage, home, or even the bab'y room. The chest also works well as a primitive piece in your cabin or home. Available at Troy Antiques, $48.
