I have been a busy upcycler bee

I have been busy busy, do not think I have ever had so many completed projects and so many on the go projects as I have now.

The weather has been mild the last week, plus 6 and 7 so I was able to get out in the garage and finish some bigger projects that I could not do in the house.

 

 

Remember the Antique Vanity that was so cute but was not selling

 

 

Antique Vanity now

 

 

Vanity before pic

 

 

 

I gave it a new look with some ASCP pure white

This is my attempt at staging in my garage (don't laugh)

But seriously I can not carry this stuff into the house by myself

And I have no room in the house to put it to take a pic

If you know what a bunky is that is how small our house is here

I promise when we get to Ontario I will have an area to stage photos of completed projects

But for now large pieces will have to be garage pics

please don't leave my blog please please

I try, I really do

 

 

I know I know more driveway pics

but how many people have a vintage truck in their backgrounds huh

probably none

and snow lol

 

 

here is the top of the mirror

I love the distressing on this vanity, it looks so good

 

 

 

Isn't it gorgeous painted in pure white and distressed a little

I kept the original hardware because it suits it and it was in great shape

 

 

 

 

 

It is going to be hard to part with this vanity, I love how it turned out

It is hard to part with beautiful pieces that are in my colour scheme

But I keep hearing my hubby in my head

Downsize Downsize

yes dear yes dear I hear ya

 

 

 

 

And this vanity and stool is now sold

 

 

And do you remember this tall dresser that I bought the same time I

bought the union jack dresser

well it is getting a makeover too

(look at my little side kick, sound asleep, poor lil girl, watching Mommy is hard work)

 

 

I painted the dresser in ASCP Provenance blue

and dry brushed it with ASCP french linen grey

I told hubby is was finished

And he was like really, hmmm well I guess it looks nice lol

Its not finished but I like to tease him

he is such an easy mark

 

 

Sold

 

And here it is finished, I painted ASCP pure white over the blue and grey

And after waxing and distressing it a bit, I added round glass knobs

I think it looks beautiful and apparently the buyer did too

because this cutie already has a new home

Again don't laugh at my staging attempts in the garage

My hubby works underground in a mine 12 to 13 hours a day

Getting him to help with a rusted screw is a major chore

So if I told him I need to him to haul furniture into the house so I can take cute pictures for my blog

Well , I think he would look at me like I had two heads

Or he would stop trading vehicles with me so I can haul stuff home in his truck

And we don't want that shit happening

so garage pics will have to do for now

but just for the big stuff, I promise

 

I wanted to also mention that my union jack dresser has sold woohoo

I seriously felt like an artist that had just sold their first painting

I was sad to see it go, but glad someone liked it enough to want to take it home

It was for sale at the store Iron Orchid Designs

A friend of mine was in the store when it sold

She said she was so excited for me she rushed to my place to tell me

The same woman bought two of my pieces

double woohoo

 

 

Sold Sold Sold

Doing a little happy dance lalalalalalala

 

I plan on painting all weekend if the rain holds off and hope to have some more large furniture pieces to show you

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

stay safe

 

hugs

 

 

and Maggie May aka Sidekick

 

 

This is Maggie and Ricky the duck in the yard

She never chases the ducks or geese or barks at them, so they feel safe to walk around

She just watches them

They were kind of playing peekaboo around the bush just before I took this pic
