For Those about to Rock...

Rockstar day this week at the little guy's school. He rolled up mullet wig, tattoo sleeves & all. That child cracks me up! Not afraid of what others might think, just about enjoying the chance to dress up. Great job my son!

Salsa Red is Hot, Hot, Hot!

Here is another piece of furniture I have been working on this week. I really love these Mid Century Modern sewing desks. They are the perfect size for any space & quite chic as well. The color is Salsa Red by Benjamin Moore in semi-gloss. Listed it today on my Etsy shop as well.

I Love Rock & Roll...Hope You Do Too!

We found this vintage stereo console circa 1970 & decided it was the latest furniture victim in need of our help. We left the red speaker fabric in all its' glory & painted the rest a light turquoise. The inside houses an 8-track, turntable & stereo. All are working except the 8-track. Evan really enjoyed the disco album we played on it! It is now available on my Etsy shop.

Run, Forest, Run!!!

Mason ran in his first cross country meet this week. So proud of him! He ran two miles with the other junior high boys. He was #98 out of a few hundred boys. He looked great, in spite of the short shorts (hehe)!

True Love is...

When your hubby goes & picks out pieces of furniture, buys them, brings them home, sands them, and then paints them too!!!! Wow- roses are over-rated! He must really love me! He did a good job too; I may make him paint more often :)

Mid Century Too Modern???

Did you know there are people who "police" the Mid Century furniture? Well, it's true! Both my sister-in-law (The Turquoise Iris on Etsy) & I have received emails and actual phone calls telling us that we are RUINING the furniture!!! I politely informed my caller that I found and rescued the furniture from its near delapidated state. She told me that people would pay money for it if we weren't ruining it by painting it- LOL. I again informed her that MANY people desire our more modern take on the amazing finds and that they actually pay me good money for the makeovers that I do :P So my hubby being the smart (well, you know) that he is, posted my latest dresser on craigslist with a little side note stating: If you are the Mid Century Modern police move along. There is nothing to see here. If you are selling crazy, we are all stocked up!!!! LOL, gosh I LOVE that man! Let me know what you think of this one. I like that the yellow color pops against the dark gray, like a man's wool suit & yellow tie- mostly it can function as a dresser in an adult room, teen room, nursery, as a TV console, or even as a buffet.
