It calls my name & begs me to bring it home, breathe new life into it & find a way to show off forgotten beauty so it can be adored again. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. I think green & turquoise are fabulous & make me smile, but all colors bring an energy of their own & add personality to a piece.Shelley Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14331989131677302158noreply@blogger.comBlogger74125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989363630759060230.post-74859036314035745142013-05-02T20:28:00.001-07:002013-05-02T20:28:24.391-07:00Modern with Your Choice of Styling OptionsWell, this was a cool little Mid Century dresser to begin with, so it only needed a touch of updating. It is wood, but had a laminate coating over the top which just wasn't that appealing. We decided to paint it a dark charcoal gray & add some accents of bright, glossy white. I really like the way the drawers can be changed up to make a stripe across any of the rows or even an asymmetrical look if that is pleasing to your eye. Such a wide variety of uses too- bedroom, baby's nursery, entryway, or even as a buffet. It's for sale in my etsy shop along with several other items.

So we loaded it up, completely sanded it down (by we, I mean he- my husband), and decided to give it a fresh coat of stain and also some indigo blue paint. At first we left it that way, but then decided it needed some distressing (something I usually don't do). It seemed like the distressing joined the sleek paint and natural wood together. I almost forgot to mention, the original wood hardware is still in amazing condition, not to mention super cool! So here it is. Tons of character, curves, and yes- storage too. You could use it for a buffet or even as a dresser because there are after all drawers and cabinets below. You can find this gem on my etsy shop.

Honestly, too many pieces to list, but I wanted to share several of the most recent. Here they are, hope you enjoy!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Every year the summer seems to fly by faster & faster. Since we recently moved, both boys will be going to new schools & Mason is starting junior high. So far, so good; they both seem to like third & seventh grade. So here's to a year of learning & growing.

We'll start with the front door since that is what you see first. It started out a dark red & now it's yellow- the color is by Behr & is called June Day. I painted both sides this color & am very pleased. Thanks to Dionne for suggesting the yellow front door; it never crossed my mind, but I love it & no one else in our neighborhood has one!

I am a little behind on finishing up my latest finds due to the soaring temps; they have really made working in the garage unbearable even late at night. Finally completed them today; I think the sunshine had stuck in my thoughts because both of these pieces are a cheery sunshine yellow. Two completely different styles- one Shabby Chic & the other Mid Century. I priced the sewing desk higher than usual hoping that if someone really wants it, I will be able to part with it- if not it will become part of my home & that's just fine with me :)

As you can see someone's booty had bowed the stool seat a bit- Reminds me of one of my favorite songs... "I like big butts & I cannot lie!"- that Sir-Mix- a-Lot is pretty awesome, right? LOL It was in need of some TLC- so that's just what it got. It already had a great shade of industrial orange paint with other paint splatters here & there, plus it was a little beat up- (added coolness).I added batting to the seat, some fabric, and a leather belt for added manliness. This would be great as a foot stool-ottoman in a boy's room.
I also found this serving cart/bar cart a couple of weeks ago & have taken it apart and painted the shelves. It is pretty old; there is a date stamped on the bottom shelf, but it is smeared & I can't quite make it out. I took off the old contact paper, sanded over the rust & then sealed it with some Rustoleum paint. Looks as good as new. The butcher block top is really great too, just needed some olive oil to shine it up. Both going on my etsy shop today. Happy Friday!

I meant we've been friends for quite some time (elementary & junior high)- but that wasn't that long ago! We are still young! My husband & I both attended our 10year...eeerrrr...20year (ouch- that stings a little) reunions this summer. How great to see everyone! It was nice to catch up, some people I hadn't spoken to since graduation (besides the occasional message on Facebook). So I've added a pic of my husband & I, then another of my friends since chidhood (Marcy & Ronni- Tricia wasn't able to make it). Love these ladies- reminds me of something we used to write on our notes LYLAS (love ya like a sis)- LOL, good times!

We took Evan to see the Amazing Spider-Man last night. Of course, he wore his mask and glove. Not a care in the world (shouldn't we all be a little more like that- do what we love & not care what others think)- he received lots of positive comments. He wore it the entire time waiting in line & took it off when the movie started (since no one could see his face due to the dark theater) and then put it right back on when the movie ended. The movie was great; we liked Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. Evan & Spidey go way back to his toddler years. He has now outgrown his Spider-Man costume, but I'm sure we'll be purchasing another. When it did fit, he wore it to the grocery store, library, soccer games (even in sizzling temps) and pretty much anywhere else we went. I was starting to think it was his second skin :) He won't stay little forever, so I am enjoying every minute of it while it lasts!

When I found her at my local Habitat for Humanity store, I was quite excited & better yet- 30% off furniture that day!!! So I, well we, (my bro & I) brought her home. She was in need of veneer being stripped away & some fresh new paint & graphic wallpaper to give her the Modern look she deserved. After looking at her for a while, I remembered my grandparents having a similar piece when I was younger- even more fond of her now :) Anyway, this was a family project I tell you- stripping veneer, painting, removing hardware & hinges to be able to paint, sanding & finallly adding the new back board with wallpaper (which my oldest son also helped pick out- good job Mason!). I love the complimentary colors of the Tiffany Blue/turquoise & the orange. I decided she needs a name worthy of her vintage & modern style as well as her beautiful frame, so Jacqueline it is. Jacqueline as in the "Jackie O." Yes, stunning & makes a statement wherever she goes. I listed Jacqueline on my Etsy shop today. She will be a beautiful addition to any home. She would look great in the kitchen, dining, nursery, or girl's room. Thanks for looking.

It was in excellent physical condition, so that made my job easier. I was sad when it was just too large to fit in our living room & decided to try & find it a new home. You can purchase it on my etsy shop. Did I mention I really am sad to see it go? I hate it when I rescue a piece of furniture & become so attached to it.

Okay, so Nacho Libre isn't part of our family- but as you can see, he'd fit in nicely.Shelley Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14331989131677302158noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989363630759060230.post-69222955988566812692012-06-21T09:22:00.000-07:002012-08-06T12:04:16.337-07:00Another Year WiserWell, what do you know- both of those Howell boys passed this year!! HAHA. We'll have to take a look back at the beginning of the year photos because they have both grown so much- especially Mason. He is pretty proud that his foot is bigger than his dad's & he is taller than me. Where does time go? Evan will be moving on to third grade at a new elementary school since we have moved & my big guy will be going to junior high. I know, I know I didn't think 3 year olds could go to junior high either, but apparently I didn't get the memo that he is now 13!!! Yes, 13- I know technically I'm old enough to have a teenager, but it just feels weird! Can anyone relate? We are SO VERY proud of our sweet boy who was also awarded the Masonic award for his sixth grade class! He is quite special if I do say so myself, but we are elated that others see that too. Here's to a great summer of staying up late, breathing in some fresh air, feeling the sun on my face, swimming in the cool water, drinking sweet tea, playing outside, listening to music, hunting for furniture, or whatever you enjoy doing!

I must say I would highly recommend it to anyone needing some sun, relaxation, and an overall wonderful vacation. We went along with my husband's parents and my sister-in-law's family as well. So four boys, water,& sunshine- what's not to love? Plus HAPPY HOUR everyday at 11:30!!! It's just R-U-D-E not to have one of the mudslides or pina coladas, LOL. We played at the beach, pools, did water zumba, chilled, ate, Mason parasailed, etc. Basically loved life & enjoyed family time too. Of course, Evan had to get stung by a bee or hornet of some type?? He had a screaming fit in the water & I had to pull the thorn like stinger out- OUCH!!!! Other than that, all was wonderful. Evan also won a musical chairs competition and was dancing & throwing his shirt off for the crowd- apparently it was quite the scene! (We had left the uneventful beach party to check email-UGGGH, seriously?) Decided work is over-rated, but needed to accomodate my strong desire to come visit again...

Here are the before & after pics. Of course, I always like green & the contrast of the bright white against the mahogany- well it's just lovely. They are both on my etsy shop ShelleyChicDesign.

It was hard to part with this one & I am kicking myself for not keeping it. I had the good fortune of finding not one, but two of these modern styled dressers. The other was also gray and white, but a little different. I believe I blogged about it in July 2011 if you want to check it out. Anyway, lots of rain & gray clouds here today, so this dresser brightens my day- hope it does the same for you! You can see more restyled furniture on my etsy shop
