Warm Wood & White Night Stands;

You might remember awhile back when I shared our bedroom on the blog;

{link here}

In that post I showed you all our bedroom night stands,

well I never showed you a before & after!

After living with them for awhile, I  decided to re paint them again {ha, not surprising right?!}

Actually, a lot of things have changed in our bedroom since that blog post which is why I haven't added it to my "home tour" page yet, so stay tuned for an update on that as well!

So back to the lovely night stands,

 I figured it was about time to share this little before & after with all of you!

BEFORE;

the original finish had come off A LOT & was peeling, but look at the wood underneath! beaaaaaaaautiful.

They were in pretty rough shape, but they were solid wood so I was all about it.

They are made by Broyhill so that was a bonus as well!

AFTER;

After Living with the original "after" of my night stands, I thought it was a bit too much grey & I wasn't happy with how they looked, I've really been into the two toned look of wood & a neutral color lately.

I'm in loveee with staining the drawers on furniture & painting the rest, it makes it more unique and less "store bought" looking.

& those crystal knobs? swoon.

Unlike most of my furniture, I decided to go with a Semi-Gloss Finish on the Protective coat,

I'm pretty sure these were meant to be coffee tables, not night stands, but I love having the "bigger" table

I'm totally in love with these but I'm a bit on the fence for if I like this look for my room,

Don't get me wrong they are adorable!

I just think I want to head in a different furniture style direction,

what do you all think?!

I have a bad habit of changing my mind when it comes to the interior of our house haha!

Hope you all are having an amazing week, hooray for it almost being Friday though ;)!!

Mint Green

Lately I have been color crushing on mint green. bad.

I always catch myself gravitating more & more towards mint green accessories.

It meshes so well with all the hues of grey I have in my house.

I will be sharing picture of our house soon, the purchase of a new couch turned into an overhaul of 

the living room downstairs ;)

I have some awesome D.I.Y. posts lined up for that, but for now,

I scored the cuuuuuuuutest little nightstand when my mom was in town.

&& of course, I incorporated my new color love into this lovely nightstand.

This little beauty is available for sale in the show now.

Before:

I'm not a big fan on these nightstands in their original state.

they are just a bit too rich? for my taste.

It just looks too stuffy.

But I love love love the shape and character of this style! 

I knew right away what hardware I wanted to put on it & what color I wanted.

Now she looks 10000x times better ;)

After:

I lovvvvvve this color so much!

It is by Valspar.

I don't quite know the name because my neighbor gave me the paint as mistint.

It has just enough color to it.

I decided to put some new old hardware on it.

I wanted to give it a different look then what originally came with it.

{which there was only one}

If you don't know what kind of pulls i'm talking about check out this post here.

I did a similar style set of night stands for a client in Kentucky Blue Grass by Color place.

Every single time I have furniture I get to sell I always want to keep them!

But could you blame me?!

I'm such a furniture junkie haha :)

These pulls were actually my old kitchen cabinet pulls.

If you don't remember then check out our kitchen reveal here.

I love that these pulls have history to them, it compliments this adorable nightstand so well.

They are modern enough but are still antique looking.

I think it makes a huge difference for this little night stand compared to its before.

You will be seeing much more mint pieces in my work coming up!

I'm currently working on a dresser that will be for sale in my shop as well in this color!

&& in case you forgot this one IS for sale;

check it out here with the other pieces I currently have for sale as well.

T.G.I.F!!

Too bad my work week doesn't end here ;)

I hope you all have amazing plans for this week & have a great day!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Grown Up Little Girl Rooms

Lately I have been getting a ton of custom requests for little girls rooms.

Everyone is switching to their "big girl rooms" & it is so nice to get to play with fun colors!

I had a chance to work with two very sweet ladies recently so I thought I would share both of their furniture transformations in one post since their daughters rooms were both in a state of transition.

Two completely different looks but two adorable looks ;)

First off we will start with Dalia's Little Girls room:

For her daughters room she wanted something white & metallic for her head board & night stands:

Before:

Juuuuuuuuuust kidding.

I completely blanked on this portion of the project. Whoopsies!

Before they were all white with antique hardware {the french looking ones}

So we opted to modernize them to go with a different feel for the room.

After:

I love the look of the two tones, it really makes it pop 

yet, is still neutral enough that it could go anywhere in a home other than a little girls room :)

I really love the detail on these night stands, the charming character of them really meshes well with the new modern hardware & silver metallic paint.

I really wish I would have taken before pictures because one of the biggest transformations was the hardware, changing it to modern silver knobs with detail around them & a bin pull made a HUGE difference. 

They turned out soo good. 

This was my first project using metallic paint on furniture & I don't think it will be my last.

I really love how the drawers trick you into thinking their are 4 but in all reality these are just two drawers!

I love extra hardware ;)

& I was in the process of moving these out to the truck to deliver them when I realized I didn't get a picture of this super cute headboard so I'm sorry for the presentation haha!

This was such a fun set to work on! I loved how girly but grown up it came out.

You can never go wrong with white & grey! :)

& Now for the other little girls room.

I loved that she wanted to play with fun bold colors.

I remember back in the day when I had a Hot Pink & Purple room.

It must just be a phase every girl goes through haha!

This bookcase has totally captured my heart.

I want to be a little girl again so I can have it in my room!

Before:

This nightstand had seen many lifes,

orange, blue, grey, green, ect.

It was fun to see all the colors when I sanded it down.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! 

Therefore. The hot pink was already painted haha :)

Before it was all orange & blue.

After:

Are you in love?

Because I so am.

Please excuse the hot pink section, it was still drying, 

I was just too excited with how it all turned out.

I loved this whole two tone feel that both projects had going on.

The hot pink really popped against the dark purple.

The arc on the sides on the bookcase really make a huge impact on the whole feel of this bookcase.

I couldn't picture it any other way now.

The colors look so good for a little girls room!

When my client came to me with these cute little hooks I was smitten,

they really tie the two colors together.

So what do you guys think?!

It was so fun to work for both clients & their daughters rooms.

Its a nice change from all the "grown up" furniture I do.

Color is always a fun experience.

Have you guys fallen in love with any bold or fun colors lately?!

Sunny Days// Tribute to Lcpl Hogan

The Forecast for this weekend is suppose to be in the 100's.

*Cringing as I typed that.*

So I thought I would get into the spirit of the sun by re-vamping a table I had been neglecting.

I decided to step out of my grey color wheel {ha! grey & yellow the complete opposites in weather}

and broaden my horizons with a fun new color by Val spar!

While on one of my numerous Lowes Trips, I pretty much live there.

I some how ended up over at the paint sample wall for Valspar's new Summer colors.

This lovely little color was called Dreamy Caramel, but it definitely more of a yellow then a beige.

I would actually be pretty frightened if my caramel was this color...

Before:

The top had some pretty serious stuff stuck on it & tons of marks & scratches.

I'm not a big fan of the green & cherry combo.

After:

It was so fun working with a new color!

Once I put it on the table I was nervous to say the least.

But this pop of color is just what I wanted.

It is literally the perfect shade of yellow!

It isn't so in your face, it has a pale-esk essence to it.

I love the legs on this beauty!

I always feel so creepy saying that...but then I remind myself I'm talking about a table.

But then I think "wow, you actually sound insane"

Oh well. ;)

I love the classic lines mixed with the cute legs.

I'm not going to lie, when I first saw the table I didn't think it would come out so cute.

I was thinking it was a bit cartoonish/outdated.

But with a fresh new look it has completely changed my mind!

Another close up on the classic lines of this table.

I couldn't change the knob on this piece but I actually don't mind it. I think it fits the piece well, it makes it feel more neutral in a space with it all being one color.

I officially LOVE this color. I'm so glad Valspar had some pre-made paint samples or else I don't know that I would have chosen this lovely color!

This item is now for sale in my shop. 

Please check out my Shop Page at the top of my blog in the navigation bar for price & details.

Pick up is in Jacksonville, NC.

On another note though,

For those of you who aren't my friend on Facebook {link here};

Last Saturday a Very good friend of my Husband's and I was killed in combat overseas.

He was due home next month, to say this was a shock would be an understatement.

Plans had already begun for his homecoming, If any of you would like to send your condolences the Hogan Family has asked that instead of flowers or cards they would appreciate a donation to the

Hunter "HD" Hogan Memorial Rodeo Scholarship.

Hunter was big into Rodeo prior to the marine corps & served as his country as Infantry for the 1/8 battalion.

If you would like to donate the scholarship is set up through a bank account at Corner Stone Bank located in Nebraska, you can donate over the phone or find a nearby location or sister bank. {link here}

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts to everyone for their continued prayers & support for the Hogan Family.

R.I.P. Lcpl Hogan.
