Sun Kissed Headboard

After a teeny bit of frustration, I finally finished this headboard and I am so excited about the way it turned out. I love all white bedding and I can imagine it would look amazing in a room with the bright pop of yellow. Of course there are so many prints in contrasting colors that would also look wonderful.....how to decide?


Anyway, it's late, I've been chasing a one year old and I'm pretty tired so I'll keep it short and sweet: The paint is Benjamin Moore's Sun Kissed Yellow with Martha Stewart's Glass of Milk on the trim. Available now in the shop.


Here are the after and before's.

Inventory and Inspiration.

I've been pretty busy this weekend picking up some new furniture to add to the shop! Thankfully, my husband has indulged me and has driven around town as my own personal moving service. His support for my hobby means so much to me.


One thing that he always mentions when looking at furniture is that he has a difficult time picturing what a piece will look like when it's done....that it's hard to see the potential. Imagining what it could look like is part creativity and part research. I love vintage furniture with a modern, chic aesthetic - glossy, rich paints....lacquered looks. I can create shabby chic all day long (and many people do!), but it's not my true love. If I am going to do distressed, it's probably going to look more Anthropologie/Restoration Hardware than Rachel Ashwell.


Now for the fun part! I've taken some pictures of the "before" inventory that I have and then some inspiration for where it may end up. Let me know what you think!

Vintage Side Table:

Dresser with Carved Flower Detail:Could also be used as a tv console, sideboard or buffet. (Pic was taken while the dresser was on its side!)

French Provincial Dresser:

Vintage Headboard:

Vintage Corner China Cabinet (this one is for my kitchen!):

80's Modern Side Table: (I love the glossy, lacquered red of the Bali Hai dresser)

Vintage Rocking Chair: 

Vintage Folding Table and Six Chairs: (this would be lovely in black or white with reupholstered chairs - which I can do!)

Queen Anne Coffee Table: (I'm still brainstorming for the right color. And I plan to remove the seashells.)

Thank you to Natalie at Natty By Design for all the beautiful inspiration. She is truly my "virtual mentor".

Ok, I'm throwing it out there if anyone is interested in purchasing anything before it's painted and put up for sale in the shop.  You pick the color and finish for the existing hardware.  Do you have furniture you would like refinished? I can do that too!
