my first farm table!!!!

I did it, I thought I could, but kept putting it off and then I decided to get in gear and try it!!!!!
I built a farm table....

so I went online at looked at every DIY there was, and started looking under every table I saw!!! hahahaha

bought me some legs and some lumber at the Home Depot....

did some sawing and nailing...

did me some staining and painting...

and....ta da!!!!! I did it!!!!!

I put it in the shop and now it is waiting for someone to fall in LOVE!!!! and take it home!!!!

I have it priced at $389 and it is 6ft long

I now think I will be trying to build other farmhouse furniture!

tiny spoons...

just listed some tiny spoons in my Etsy shop...

new chalk paint...

I just tried the Americana Chalky paint, I love it!
redid this farmhouse table and vintage Windsor chairs...

the chairs and legs are done in Carbon, I love how it is a true black!

the top was sanded and stained...

I know you can get this chalk paint at Micheal's, Home Depot and online at Walmart

I have had some questions on the paint....it comes in a 8 ounce sample and in a 16 ounce can

the 16 oz is $15.95, but this paint is thicker and richer, so it goes so much further...

and I like having a larger color choice

I used a sample size and did a vintage desk, front and back with it...

I will share that this week

Hello Stranger!

Wow, it has been along time since I was on my blog!!!!
now that I am a working gal!!!
our shop is doing wonderful and it is really keeping me busy, lots of creating....which I love!!!
just wish there were more hours in the day!
here is a project I did at Christmas time, I needed something pretty to display jewelry on...

I had this foam dress form...

I like foam because you can pin items on her...

so I went to all my vintage lace and doilies and started cutting and gluing...

an vintage slip for the bottom

pinned on some pretty feather wings..

and added my jewelry!
