a little change. . .

The weather is getting a little warmer in the South and it seems everyone wants to "update" their house.  A little change is always good. . .so why not update the chairs with a new color.

 The old tired chair seats were recovered in a pink and green ticking, making perfect for Spring!  Hope you like the chairs Juliette!

Mean green. . .

Just "chalk this up" to me wanting to be different.

I almost always paint in (off)white or (off)black--those colors seem to sell better/quicker--this time I had to be different! This wonderful old chest has been dry-brushed in green--yes, green. I think this gives it an "anthropologie" look and feel. The drawer pulls are fabric--I realize not everyone would understand this but really it's just another "anthro" trick.

Now why can't I sell to Anthropologie?

This chest can function in a bedroom as a dresser--in the den, to hold a television--on in a dining room as a buffet or sideboard.

Available at Troy Antiques, $138.

Cute and sassy

Dressing table with swing away arms has an attached green and pink skirt. The coordinating stool has a crazy quilt patchwork top.

Happy Easter/Birthday!

to our great niece. . .

The cute lime green bag has been decorated with gerber blooms and filled with an Easter chick, vintage necklace, marbles, note pad and extra surprise.

Hope you enjoy it Melissa!

a tale. . .

of two chairs. . .

The weekend brought "spring fever" and I finished several projects--sewing and painting (more of this later). The two chairs/stools are entirely different. Both are wrought iron and have covered cushions. The white low-backed stool is finished with a pink and green patchwork/crazy quilt cover. The center is accented with a covered button featuring pink roses.

The black low-backed stool features a gray and yellow graphic print. This stool will co-ordinate with my latest painting project. . .stay tuned!

Both chairs/stools are available at Troy Antiques.. .White chair, $32; black chair, $28.

Houndstooth. . .

pink and white houndstooth?

Yes, a special stool to match my latest dressing table/dresser! The stool has been covered with a pink & white houndstooth seat and a green and pink polka dot skirt. The seat is corded in the houndstooth fabric.

The stool is available at On The Square Antiques for $32.

Art Deco meets Pretty in Pink. . .

This funky pink vanity was originally a 1940's "waterfall" style vanity, complete with glass shelf. The vanity has evidenty seen many owners--some of which adored pink! I have merely scraped away the worn white coat to expose the multiple pink layers--thus "Pretty Pink" is born!

The vanity is available at http://misshetties.ecrater.com/ and at On The Square Antiques, Troy AL.

Clothes Make the Woman . . .

and the bed!

This bed is all dressed up and ready to go to the right home! Perfect for a special doll! It is Pretty in Pink! The bed was painted white with custom pink bedding. The bedding is pink and green polka dots with pink chenille. The pillow is a green and pale pink stripe. Aren't the polka dots darling?

Doll cradle is available at http://ecrater.misshetties.com and at On The Square Antiques, Troy AL for $22.
