Roses, Roses, Roses!

Monday, August 30, 2010

Roses galore!  We found the most spectacular French Provincial tall chest that we have ever seen!  I don't think I have ever seen such a narrow dresser that is so tall.  We have added the roses, but all the other carvings are original.  Soooo Pretty!
Just when we thought we had found the most amazing piece with the dresser above, we found these fabulous pieces! (there is a matched set, we only have one done). Two gorgeous French Provincial Bombay style armoire's.  They were painted yellow and pink, we of course changed them to creamy white and added scrumptious rose appliques.  The date inside is 1979. 
 
If I had a place to put them in my home I surely would!

A Newly Upholstered Beauty!

Saturday, August 21, 2010

We have just finished our latest slipper chair and are thrilled with the results!  It was fun finding the fabrics and matching them all!

We used beautiful pink rose chintz to start with, then decided to use a gorgeous green plaid chintz for the delicious ruching for the top of the heart back and the bottom of the seat, a beautiful candy pink and cream stripe is used for the cording, arms and the sweet nickle sized buttons used on the tufting on the front of the sweetheart back.  The adorable flouncy two layered skirt is done in pink and cream stripe with an underskirt of green plaid chintz........oh! delish!

We have just finished a wonderful Bergere also, so elegant!  The fabric used is classic Ralph Lauren, topped off with cream linen with stitched dots and dreamy raspberry striped chintz piping.  Luscious!

Ooh La La!!  So Pretty and French!
If you would like to see more details, you can find them on our Upholstered Furniture page.

Show and Tell Friday! Our latest creation

Friday, July 30, 2010

We have been intrigued with doing upholstered furniture, here is one of our latest designs that we thought would be great for a Tween's bedroom!  We have picked out one of our favorite fabrics called "shopping Spree".  A beautiful apple green linen with stitched polka dots has been added to the bottom.  We topped it all off with gorgeous rose appliques and painted her a creamy white!  Fit for an Princess bedroom!


AFTER

This is what the bed looked like before!  This bed needed a lot of tender loving care!
We love recycling old and making it new!
BEFORE
Quite a difference if I do say so myself!  What fun this project was!

A Gorgeous Home and a Fun Day!

Friday, July 23, 2010

It isn't often that we get to see where our finished furniture resides!  We had the opportunity to deliver four pieces of our furniture to a wonderful customer we met at the Brimfield Antique Show last week.  We were so pleased to see the pieces put in place to see them in their full glory.  What an amazing Romantic Home!


What a spectacular home, I wanted to stay there!  Everything was so beautifully decorated!
We added the cottage dresser in the corner of the dining room.


Our petite vanity and stool looked fabulous in the dressing room!

We ♥♥♥ LOVE♥♥♥ our customers!

All Things Lovely! Abother Great Brimfield Antique Show!

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Our booth at the Brimfield Antique Show, full opening day!
We just finished another Brimfield Antique show and met some amazing new customers!  What fun we had with old friends and new acquaintances!  The weather was hot, a few storms thrown in, but our faithful customers old and new came once again to wish us well and to see all the new pretties we had.  Our show was a raging success, we left at the end of the week tired and happy!  Our husbands were happy because the load was light coming home!

We had many pretty dressers and beds!

"SOLD" tags were fun to see!  (Thank you!)



This gorgeous 1920s vanity found a new home at the shore in Massachusetts!

We want to thank our wonderful customers for making our July show a success, we look forward to seeing you in September!

A New Line of Vintage Boys Furniture!

Friday, July 9, 2010

We have decided to start doing a line of vintage, retro inspired boys room furniture.  It is so hard for our customers to find great furniture for boys!  The furniture we are doing brings back the nostalgic feelings of years gone by, back to a time when life seemed a little slower and more fun!  We are transforming furniture from the 1940s-60s into pieces of usable art, furniture that is solid wood and has another 100 years in it!  We take pride in the fact that we are doing our part to help recycle wonderful pieces of furniture and make them live again!  Please make sure to come and have a look!  BOYS ROOM FURNITURE

A great retro look done in upholstered headboard and appliqued footboard.
Perfect for any Rootin' Tootin' cowboy!
Wonderful retro, vintage looking fabric!  Wonderful in person!
