From Ordinary to Extraordinary

These Tables had been collecting dust in the studio.  When a customer needed one the exact size of the middle one,she convinced me to split them up! I did not get a picture of hers painted in Beach Glass!

Then the others became unique pieces themselves! I love this stencil! It definitely took the ordinary out of this table and turned it into a great accent piece!

This Paris stencil added a subtle bit of charm to the once boring little side table!

And while I had the Blue paint out I painted this charming end Table for a customer who "stopped by"

We have some new pillows in! this one is made out of drop cloth! I am loving how it has the "Grain Sack" feel to it! The Paris stencil in this soft Blue was a perfect choice!
Amazing how a little paint and stencils can create a whole new look!

Artissimo

Not the greatest before picture! but I am glad I found one! This is one gorgeous piece! It has been sitting in my Basement for Months!!

After taking Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint Workshop I knew what I would be using to finally give this piece the attention it needed!

With a potential customer in mind I picked Artissimo!

Which is a great Navy Blue!

I have been using it quite a bit since I came back!

Here is the piece with a coat of gray over the Blue

I lightly distressed back some of the gray

And sealed this piece with Miss Mustard Seed Hemp Oil!

This stuff is amazing!! It gave this piece a deep luxurious finish with minimal buffing! So easy to use and All Natural!

Rubbed a little silver into the original Hardware!

This is by far my Favorite piece! and is no longer in my playroom! Has found it's proper home in a Beautiful House right here in Scituate!
