Blog Shout-out

Just thought I'd let you know my kitchen table post is being featured today on Remodelaholic. If you like good before and afters, check this blog out. New posts are added daily. It's one of my favorite blogs to check because I get such good ideas there.

Before and After: Hutch Reveal

It's finally done! As a refresher, here's a before picture of the hutch:

And now, here's the after:

And let me tell you, it looks even better in person. I thought I was going to sell this one, but I don't think I can part with it. At least not for awhile.

Before and After: Hutch

Since I recently sold my other hutch, I've had a huge blank space staring at me and it's just about driven me crazy. So, when I stumbled across this little beauty on Craig's List a few weeks ago, I immediately fell in love.

It has such amazing bones and I've just been itching to get to it, but I've been so busy with clients' orders that I just haven't had time. With the holidays right around the corner, though, I've got to get my house in order, and that means filling the empty void in my kitchen. I'm happy to report that I finished the bottom piece today. Here's a better look at the before:

If I can ever get my kids in bed I'm going to get going on the prep work for the top so I can start painting tomorrow.

The only thing I'm not thrilled with is the gold design on the two glass portions. I'm not quite sure what to do with those. I'll think of something I hope. Check back in a few days for the after picture. If the top looks near as good as the bottom, it's going to be one amazing piece!

Before and After: Coffee Tables

I recently had a client who purchased these three coffee tables on Craig's List for $40! Doesn't she have a great eye? These pieces have great bones.

She wanted them to be painted a creamy white and then lightly distressed. Here's the finished product:

I think I'm in love. Good thing I don't have anywhere to put them in my house, or I'd offer to buy them from her.
