Farm Fresh Retro Hutch
{sold}


I apologize to those looking for something neutral today. I just couldn't do it with either of these pieces. I thought about it, but everyone seems to love turquoise as much as I do! This first piece is so cute and retro that it really needed something fun to revive it back to life.

This is just a solid piece literally straight off the farm. It was initially owned by the farmer and his wife and left there in the house with the original family. I wanted it to have another life as something fun and fresh, but still functional.

There is a ton of storage here inside the glass doors. The interior is Wedding White and the exterior is Vista Marine, both from CIL. If you open the drawers, there is a little surprise in there too!

I updated some mismatched pulls for the drawers and doors to give it a whimsical flare.

I am just so pleased with how this turned out! Don't you think that it would work great as a little bar station with a collection of wine or liquor bottles on the shelves along with wine glasses? The drawers are great for corkscrews and napkins and other fun things. 


I could also see it as a pretty way to store sewing or craft supplies or even kids games and toys. If you are lucky enough to have a large bathroom, this would be great filled with towels and toiletries too.... So many ideas!

Racy Red Side Table
{sold}


This is just a great little table. I LOVE the dowels used on the lower shelf. It somehow gives it a little more of an airy feel.

This would work so well as a little coffee table in a small space or a side table or night stand too. If you have a little corner by your bathtub, it would look pretty with towels folded on the lower shelf with a tray holding all your bath goodies.

This is just a great way to add a little punch of colour in any room in your house. Very solid piece!

Monday Offerings!

Sweet Tea Cart
{*sold*}

This little sweetheart could be just the little pop of colour a corner of your home is looking for. It has been sprayed a cheery red and the glass is in great condition. It could be used as a little bar to mix up super summer cocktails or as an unexpected end table or nightstand.

I think it would also look great on a deck hosting some summer pots of flowers. It is quite sturdy and even rolls!

So pretty!

Shabby White Sofa Table
{*sold*}

This is not a super flashy table, but it is very sturdy and has lovely simple lines which would fit nicely with any decor. It has been painted Cloud White and distressed to show of some of the little details in its construction.

I have a huge soft spot for a sofa table ~ it is such a versatile piece of furniture and can be used in so many different ways ~ either behind a sofa, at an entry, beside seating, or against a way to display pictures and collections.

Birdie Coffee Table
{*sold*}


Since my purchase of a new cowhide for my living room, I needed to replace my coffee table. It was just not working with the new carpet and ended up looking a little small. I am offering it for sale as well today. I have found a replacement for now that is making me happier!

It is a pretty oval table with sweet legs and a lower shelf with caning. It is painted a very pale creamy grey and the glass insert has been sprayed (underneath) with a bird and branch design. Anyone who has been to my house will recognize my love of decorating with birds and trees.... It has only been in my house for a few months and has seen very little wear, but I would love to see it go to a new home!

{Vanity Project}

This little vanity desk has been sitting in my work space for a while. As I have mentioned before, my friend Alicia is a Kijiji genius and she scored this sweet piece for a song a few months ago.

This is a life-sized jewelry box! Every drawer is velvet lined and purposed for storing every type of jewelry. Alicia took her time deciding what she would like to do with it. She was inspired by some fabric and decided to go bold!

This result is soooooo pretty! I love the red with the bright turquoise and pink in the bench. I removed all of the brass hardware and sprayed it all a pale pink before lightly distressing it.

I used some of the the extra fabric to line the interior storage  areas as well.

The print has a nostalgic feel to it, but feels so fresh with the red and pink. This was so fun to work on and the result was really special.

Alicia sent me a picture of the vanity after she put a few of her treasures inside...

I feel so fortunate that she trusted me to put this together for her... She gave me some creative freedom ~ this was a bit of a risk for me to take, but sometimes taking those little risks pay off.

School Days

I just realized that it has been a very long time since my last post! I haven't listed any new items for several weeks either as I have been so busy with doing some custom pieces and managing our new little addition Lucy. She is a 6lb, 3 month old cairn terrier/westie cross. She is a lot of fun, but a bit of work...

I think I have a schedule worked out at last. She is good company and I am totally in love with her!


The most recent piece that I am featuring here is an old oak teacher desk and chair. It had that old-timey institutional feel to it. You could almost smell the chalk dust....

My good friend Brenda had this in her basement and was going to get rid of it. I was more than happy to take it off her hands, but a few weeks later, she decided that she would like it made-over for her toddler son for his room. It is the perfect size for a transition piece from baby to little boy. She had already picked out his new bedding and had a colour scheme in mind so I used that as my inspiration on the chair.

I spray painted the metal frame with Krylon's green ivy and painted the stripes on the back and seat with paint that coordinated with the new linens. I lightly distressed the striped and sprayed the newly painted wood with a poly for extra durability. I love the way it turned out ~ it looks fun and fresh! Perfect for a little boy!


Brenda wanted the desk to be red. Painting with red always requires a little extra patience and work as to get good coverage means at least 3 or 4 coats. I think the results are worth the effort...

I added a few little stamps to the drawer pulls for fun.

The pull out writing board needed an upgrade for the 2 year old as well and a few coats of chalkboard paint did the trick.

I distressed the edges a little bit and rubbed a layer of wax over the surface. 

I have had this finished in my basement for a little while, but as Brenda lives several hours away, we have not been able to coordinate a time to get it back to her house. My father in law is coming for a visit today and has graciously offered to be my delivery guy. I am excited to see it installed in its new home!


Posts will be a little slower as we get closer to Christmas. I have a few smaller pieces that I hope to list, but I have committed to several custom orders as well. This time of year time gets to be crunched in a big way but I have so many ideas for January! Stay with me ~ I am so touched by the emails and encouragement...

Some Fun Tables

{Shabby Red Chalkboard Table}

$25

This table has a real sweetness to it. I think it is the gently scalloped edges, but it just shows the extra thought that went into the design.

This little guy was a rescue in the most literal way. I found it  in the back of a very crowded thrift store in Edmonton last spring looking very wobbly, water stained and sad. There was even a huge wad of chewed gum on the bottom ~ yuck.

A good cleaning (with gloves on, thank-you very much), a little sanding and some glue and he was ready to shine again. I had a little rustic red paint leftover from that great bench I did in spring and this seemed like to perfect project for it. After painting, I thought it needed something extra-fun to take it to the next level so I added a chalkboard feature as well as a little distressing to showcase those sweet curves.

21.25" wide

17" deep

18" high

This would be a fun message table, a great little activity table for a toddler, or a nightstand ~ ready for little love notes...

To purchase, shoot me an email or see the kijiji ad here.

{Shabby White Tray Table}

*SOLD*

I really love this type of piece as it is something so unique, yet functional. This was another find that I discovered neglected in the back of a thrift store. It was also pretty rough looking.

After a good cleaning and sanding, the charm of this piece started to show. It actually adjusts to 2 different heights and the tray is removable so you can load it up and use it to deliver snacks and treats to your impressed guests. 

This would work so well as an end table in a living room or at the end of a bed (think of the nice breakfasts you could get served), or even in the corner of a dining room as a little drink station.
