Why "Joy"

Joy is a choice you make each and every day! Joy is a gift from our Heavenly Father! It is your weapon! When you smile at someone...they smile back. When you laugh...others will laugh with you. When you think happy thoughts...you feel better. Come on...Do some "Joy" things...kick the devil where it hurts! Defeat him!! Psalm 28:7 "The Joy of the Lord is my Strength and my Shield, my heart trusts in Him and He helps me. My heart leaps for Joy, and with my song I praise Him"

Booth Photos 4-22-12






I don't think I've ever shown you pics of my booth...I felt pretty good today after I did a re-do.  I have to pray for the good Lord to help me each time.  I'm never real sure til I get it all done.  Been a slow month,  maybe the change will do some good. 
Have a blessed week!

My favorite red pieces yet!

Bought this on Craigslist and fell in Love...could hardly wait to get my paint out!
Was blessed with a new client that wanted a red dresser...yummy!!

 

She also wanted a small end table...Red of course!  Found this one in a garage sale
And yes....that's a tarp down in my front room...my garage is full!! 

Are you ready....drum roll please!

 I loved it...wanted to keep it so bad!  Check out that mirror..(sigh)
 I spray painted both with my Fav..Colonial Red!
 My client was one happy lady!  Whew!

AS Chalk Paint Hutch

 Found this piece at an estate sale...has such great bones...and great detail!


 The top....turned upside down

 I used Annie Sloan Old Ochre and a touch of Old White....just love that paint!

Finished and for sale!!  Surely wanted to keep this one!!

Hope Chest

 This is my hope chest that my Mom bought me when I was a teenager...
I've always loved it!  But...time for a makeover!
(I'd given it to my daughter..she decided she didn't want it anymore)

 Filling in all the holes from the cushion that was on top...


almost there....
Whala~! I love it! and yep....she wants it back now! Ha!

Shabby "Country French" Night Stand

This nightstand was a gift from my friend "Debbie"...thank you!
Got it home...sanded lightly all over...

Painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint "Old White" and distressed all over..turned out too cute...but I thought maybe I could add one more thing...so...

I decided to stencil some detail around the edges...I hope you can see this...
also did this all around the top of the night stand...(sorry forgot to take that pic..ugh)..
the handles are from my fav Hobby Lobby...
Hope you like it too!!
(Click on the picture and it will become larger)

My take on a Shabby Modern Dresser

This is the dresser that matched the metallic nightstand I did earlier...I just couldn't bring myself to paint with metallic paint again...maybe I can blame it on the Heat?!

It's rather difficult for me to not "shabby" a piece of furniture...so the edges are very slightly distressed. It is really pretty...hope someone likes it soon. 
I painted this with "Old White" Annie Sloan Chalk Paint..slightly sanded then added Old White mixed with Valspar Glaze...let that dry over night...then used Howard's Wax...Love love love that stuff!
