We make such messes when we refinish!.....

It makes me wonder how we turn messes into pretty things!

But we do!!  Ha Ha Ha!....somehow!

 The cording was done in a blue satin stripe to coordinate with the Ralph Lauren blue rose linen

 Gorgeous rose garlands and a medallion decked out her graceful feet....

 A pretty pillow was made to match the customers other chair fabric! So pretty!
Another chair was done for her:
 This chair is a beautiful Ethan Allen frame, but needed a little "shabbifying!"sooo....we chalk painted her frame, gave her a little distressing and turned her into this:
Her fabric is a beautiful Robert Allen embroidered linen.  Ready for her coastal home in Texas!

Oh My!  We wondered how she would turn out!  She is a 1940s frame that was upholstered in the 1970s with an avocado striped fabric......we chalk painted her, heavily distressed her and turned her into this!

We added beautiful rose chintz, pretty pink check and some pink chenille, so comfy!

This duo was about to get a makeover also!  The came out so pretty! They turned into this:

 We did her in pink rose chintz with a coordinating pink stripe cording, so scrumptious! 

We touched her pink chalk painted frame with a little gold to make her shine...

And....

This beauty was done in a Ralph Lauren rose print linen...she turned out so pretty! She now has a new home in Washington State.

Two very Romantic chairs.....The rose embellishments say it all! both from Circa 1900-1920

How about this transformation?  A gorgeous frame from the turn of the century...

Very rough and tumble....we decided to paint her in Provence and deck her out in burlap with natural tack heads....

So gorgeous!  This chair would look awesome in a library or study....

 This gorgeous chair is part of a set.....They now live in Florida at a fabulous day spa for women...

the fabric chosen was our Ralph Lauren blue rose linen...so pretty!

This is just a sampling of the Chairs of Juniper Hill!  We are always up to something.....we have many gorgeous frames waiting to be done....stay tuned for more chairs and special offerings!

The Paris Grey felt right for this dainty 1920s side table...I am a fan of heavy distressing so I sanded her down with a sanding block, allowing her to take on a personality of her own...

Once she was distressed in "all the right places", I took out my handy wax brush and went to town with some soft wax......I loved the way the wax darkened the Paris Grey.....just the shade I was hoping for....

and then......

Tres Chic!

Using Paris Grey, Annie Sloan chalk paint on this pretty little table was the Saturday afternoon adventure I was in need of!  She came out so pretty!

We left her gorgeous oak top in it's natural state, giving it a light sanding, stain and wax.  Her side detailing was quite pleasing to the eye....

Of course a touch of pink on her side detailing made me happy! Layered and rubbed to shabby perfection!

Her feet ornamentation was begging for a little pink too! I said yes!

We shined her inside and out.....

And added some pretty striped paper in her drawer bottoms...

We enhanced her beautiful back splash with pretty Fleur-de-lis...

Added some gorgeous crystal knobs and French stencils here and there.  

Magnifique!

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning....just waiting for the opportunity to do a project that has been rolling around in your head? Well.....today I did one of those projects!  While at the NY gift show this spring we bought some great rusty French wire candle sconces and I have been wondering how they would look their best....they needed  a special touch to make them sparkle....

The day was long and hot, we are once again getting ready for the Brimfield Antique Show. We finished filling our booth, I was tired but still had some creative juices flowing.  What to do???  I know!...I wanted to figure out what to do with the pretty wall sconces!  It was around 4:00 PM and a beautiful dry breeze was calling me under the trees to set up for my project....I decided to go into the bottom of the barn to see what I could find....to unearth some treasures my Dad kept hidden for the time when he wanted to get creative.  It was bittersweet for me, our Dad has been gone for 9 years now, but the memory of him is still alive...it is as if I saw him yesterday. I can almost  hear him say "Lindy, what are you up to?"  My sister and I have not touched any of his garden tools, in fact, his garden hat, gloves and overalls still hang where they were last put by him...somehow this gave me comfort as I forged on to see what goodies I could come up with.

I went into the bullpen, a place he kept all his wood for future projects he had in mind...I found some wonderful wood door panels, most of them had to be at least 100 years old!  My Dad was the original recycler , if it was interesting and had a purpose he saved it! He had carefully taken old doors apart that he found at the landfill and saved the panels.  My dad dabbled in art and painting, I am guessing he was going to paint birds on them possibly...I will never know.  Into the van they went, they needed LOTS of cleaning before I could get started!

 I decided to use chalk paint, it would give me the effect I was looking for.  I wanted to keep some of the original, old crackled paint intact, but needed to paint the edges so they would look pretty!

 Distressed and waxed, they came out pretty! I did three different colors, one Provence, one  Versailles with the original painted center and one grey and linen distressed.   I then added the sconces to the waxed door panels. (Notice the paint on my hands....no manicure here!)

Voila!  Finished for today....what colors will be next?

 Versailles with the natural old paint center, I love the original crackle!

This larger panel is for a project tomorrow, it came out awesome with French grey underneath with a white wash on top.  Hmmmm...what will I find to put on this beauty?

I smile now when I think that Dad would approve...he would certainly appreciate the fact that I found a use for the panels that he had carefully stored away for a special day....today was that day!
