I have the greatest clients

 I am so fortunate to work with some great clients.  I have been working with Amy for a few months now..on various pieces of furniture pictured below.

Yesterday, I spent the late afternoon on Amy's bedroom floor distressing her dresser drawers.  Amy is a talented artist that does not have the time to work on furniture herself (hence she hired me).  However she got into it yesterday, I only wish I had my camera at hand.   Both of us armed with various gits of sand paper, we were able to achieve the look that Amy was looking for.  It was the first time I experienced working with a client hand and hand...So much fun!  Thanks Amy!

Annual White Party Labor Day Weekend.

I just did a piece for my daughter; pictured (center) in this picture....  She is a mother of two and incredibly talented...and I'm not just saying this because I am her mother....although I do have some bragging rights..

Ever since I started my companies four years ago, she has always helped me with my websites. They were constantly changing and growing as I did.  She recently started her own company gearing to helping small and start up companies along with sporting and community organizations with their websites called Simple Business Solutions.....as you know you can't run a business or organization these days with out a website....

So for exchange of my new web presents......I found this table at a local thrift shop that was the typical Bombay Cherry Colored table, and turned it into a Shore Chicy Design Product.. I am hoping she will like it. It will be delivered today....

I used Annie Sloan Graphite underlay

Added Annie Sloan Old White as a top layer along with some clear wax

Added a hint of gold gilding wax to the shell

Until the next project......

Rubbish Rack Rehabbed

I found this rack where la petite table was found ...just around the corner from my house....Wasn't sure if I could save this one...but I went for it...

unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of what this poor rack looked like prior....to starting the painting process....She was painted in a spring egg blue....black markings...with a sad looking heart carved out of the top...I glued a wooden carved medallion over the heart for a totally different look. I used Annie Sloan Cream colored paint and dark wax.... This refurbish rack is just looking for a new home...I will be selling her and other pieces at the Island Heights Sail Feast on September 8th...Stop by and say hello..
