Say hello

... to Alice!

DRINK ME. EAT ME. PULL ME.

Alice sat in my basement staring at her deep royal blue paint and white lettered pulls for months, but she finally got her chance to debut at the festival my bestie and I attended on Memorial Day. She too, just like Suzie, got a lot of ooooh's and aaaaaaah's from people stopping by our canopy, especially those who love books. As you can see, her cabinets and drawers are lined with pictures and pages from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass". Even though she was a tad stubborn from time to time throughout the restyle, she came out great and I'm really hoping someone who loves her will snatch her up!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Drop by the Etsy store to see other furniture restyles I have for sale!

**** Update! ****

Alice has a new home in Brooklyn, New York!
I can't believe she's trekking across the country to the East Coast and I'm sure she's gonna make someone very very happy!

Say hello

... to Suzie!

This dresser has been sitting in my basement primed and ready for paint since last July, no lie. I had so many ideas of how I wanted to transform her, but never really decided until this past week. She debuted at the Gypsy Caravan this past Monday under the canopy that my beastie and I shared. Even though she was oooo'd and aaaaaah'd over all day, she came back home with me.

I must admit though, I'm smitten by her rope pulls and stripes. The peachy pink retro wall paper I picked up for a whole dollar at a Habitat Restore store here in town was a great score. I can envision her in a darling little nursery or a cute piece for a little girl's room. What do you think?

Suzie is available in my Etsy store!

Please stop by there for pricing, delivery/shipping and dimensions!

Thanks for stopping by today! I have another furniture transformation I want to introduce you to tomorrow....lets just say she's even more intriguing "through the looking glass".... ;)

It's a link par-tay!

Say hello

... to Wallace!

This cute little table has been stashed away under yucky old stain and has been used for about 7 years as my nightstand. One day I took a good hard look at him and thought... wouldn't it be nice to clean this guy up and give him some life back?

I love our St. Louis bottles. :)

After a good sanding down I was amazed at the quality of the wood grain on the top of the table so I decided  to leave it natural with a beeswax shine. Noticing how popular the "dipped legs" look has become on furniture lately, I decided to take a flip side approach to it with Wallace. I painted the legs with the same color I used on Elizabeth and left the tips with a natural wood grain "dipped" look. In the end I was thrilled with how it turned out!

Wallace will be in the Etsy store for pricing information but will only be available for purchase at the Gypsy Caravan in St. Louis on Memorial day. If he is still available afterwards I will update the store. All the pieces I post this month will be on display under the Archaic Mementos/Retro Restyling canopy on the UMSL parking lot.

If you are interested in Wallace please come out to the festival! It will be an amazing experience with lots of vendors and I'll have all my pieces displayed there with my besties beautiful jewelry!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!
