Red Bed

It has been one busy and crazy summer! The blog has been kind of put on the back burner because my husband and I bought a house this spring and I have to say it is a job in itself just to put a house together!!! On another note, we can't believe all of the support and the wonderful welcomes we have gotten with our shop!!! Thank you so much!!!

Here is one of our first beds that we have redone. It went to a good home! A lady bought it for her son's room. She was doing a cow polk theme. How cute is that? (Be careful when you look cow polk up ;) ) 

She said she would send us pictures when the room is done, can't wait to see it!!! 

Here is the bed before, of course I had to get my mom's dog, Grant in there. 

He is the sweetest dog,

 but sometimes worse than a kid and is my mom's shadow when she is doing projects. 

Here is the bed after, We painted it red and distressed it. I have to admit at first it wasn't my favorite piece, but it grew on me after and I really like it, perfect for a little boys room.

Vintage Junkies Shop July 2013

 We finally feel like we have gotten the shop together!

Table & Chairs

My mom and I have been wanting to redo a table and chair set since we have starting painting furniture. We wanted to do something funky and cute. So we chose to do all different chairs and paint them all the same color. This is what we had in our chair stash.

 

 Here is the before picture...

 

 

Here is the after...

 

 

As you can see from both pictures that one if the chairs is different from the before to the after. Well my mom thought that the older looking chair didn't match the rest of the seating and we didn't have another modern looking chair to go with the set. So my mom said to me, you should go home and get one of your chairs, one of your will match. So what did I do? I ran home and got one of my kitchen chairs and came back and painted it! LOL, yes that is how crazy we are sometimes. I was moving anyways and wanted something totally different for my chairs so it all worked out in the end.

 

We wanted every chair to be different but still match so we painted the chairs all the same color. We also added some other details to the chairs to make the set unique. One of the chairs got reupholstered and the bench got some hardware added to it. The table got painted white with a little distressing done.

End Tables...

We have been doing quite a bit of small end tables lately. So I wanted to show some before and afters. I am not sure if you all like seeing the before and afters...but I will continue to share until someone says otherwise :)

 

 

This is a table that my mother-in-law found for us. Oh yes we have everyone looking for pieces. She did a great job finding this one.

 I love the curves, the detail, and the hardware. 

 We left the hardware original as you can see.

 

We painted it white, distressed it and antiqued it.

 

Today it found a good home :)

 

These two end tables my husband found. It isn't very often that you find two alike tables in good condition. As you see they started out black...

 

We painted the tables a pale yellow, distressed them and added new hardware. I had them on craigslist to sell and today someone called on tables to pick them up and said hopefully this is what my daughter was looking for. I said "oh, was that the color she was looking for?" She said "no, she just wanted two alike tables with drawers, she will be painting them black, I hope you didn't just redo them." LOL! Ummm...yup I did. I didn't have the heart to say oh they were originally black. oh well what do you do, at least someone is going to enjoy them even if they repaint them...BLACK...LOL. I thought they were pretty while they lasted...
