WOW.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes, life changes in an instant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes, it only seems like an instant...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me, it appears that I blinked, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and everything went in a different direction. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Allow me to explain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love painting. Really, I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I don't love is how completely competitive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and over-saturated</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the market has become.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the drama...heaven help me, the drama!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to scream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"IT'S JUST PAINT, SETTLE DOWN"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chalk paint brought painting furniture to the mainstream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure, it's been popular before...but never on this level. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've been involved on a variety of levels, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it's been an eye-opener for sure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, while I still love it, I don't wish to rely on it for my income.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or be involved with a paint line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or worry about who's stealing my photos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just want to create. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have met some wonderful, kind, LOVELY people...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we've met some of the worst people I've ever known. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every single experience has value, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the decision to finish up a second degree I started years ago,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and go back into healthcare</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've landed a dream position, and haven't looked back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I've come back to reality</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My new position has a fancy title that really translates to this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
" I have no time to paint except for fun"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so "will it be fun?" is my new criteria </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when it comes to paint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We won't be taking on much custom work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(just a select few for local clients and previous clients we love as time permits)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ken will have some time to relax and continue to recover</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll keep our FB page active, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but won't be posting unless we have something new to share</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Haven't decided about our website yet...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
although I'll maintain our TM and domain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as long as it remains fun and profitable, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we'll be keeping our space at </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
607 Vintage Marketplace in Largo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our warehouse packed full?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe we'll have a sale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I'll keep it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I'll sell it all on CL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who knows. I sure don't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you actively running a small business</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
similar to ours...kudos and much respect to you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish you every success imaginable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We know the dedication, blood, sweat, and tears it takes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for us, we've reclaimed our nights and weekends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our family time, and our sanity :) </div>

A few new pieces made it into 607 VMP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(with more coming, we promise!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We literally nearly sold out of furniture in both our spaces...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it takes a minute or two to get caught back up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after such an amazing month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stop in and see what's new</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I could not, however, resist a LITTLE bling</div>

via these gorgeous knobs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean, really...amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The entire piece is solid as solid gets</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with custom glass shelves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The inside is minty fresh,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

For this weathered look,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we custom mixed a medium grey using</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amy Howard at Home One Step Paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
finished off with a white wash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and sealed for durabilty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hardware is the reverse, white with a grey wash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love how it turned out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So simple and clean but still quite interesting</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They are solid wood but "eh" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sort of orange in color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My vision?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Creamy white with a grey wash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The orange, however, did NOT want to leave...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it bled through...and bled through...and bled through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It bled through FOUR coats of primer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the china cabinet...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FOUR!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know when I'm beat...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buh-bye dreams of white...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to be confused with ASCP's Graphite color...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this version of Graphite is much more brown than grey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a perfectly lovely greige!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a creamy white glaze to knock back the brown a bit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm thrilled with the outcome</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Light distressing shows off the white beneath</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept the interior white, but glazed it to disguise any bleed through issues</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The buffet, thankfully, had minimal bleed through issues...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I was able to go with the creamy white</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I opted for a warm antique glaze instead of grey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it would coordinate nicely with the china hutch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had these mirrors for awhile...the dresser they went with sold right away,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before I had time to complete the mirrors</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wouldn't this buffet be fabulous re-purposed as a double sink with the mirrors over each side? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or what about a changing table...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love that there are so many options!</div>

Talk about STUNNING...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We purchased this dining suite well over a year ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(maybe two? Who can keep track?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and although it's stunningly gorgeous,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it need a LOT of prep work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
(the china cabinet is still in the works...coming SOON!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The enamel (oil paint) was old and chipping away,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it had to ALL be scrapped off</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOT a fun task on a set this large, and with so many carved details</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cushions were shot</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and needed new foam and batting </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before we could even think about fabric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the tabletop was scratched up pretty badly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(but just look at that marquetry...swoon!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After two weeks' worth of scrapping</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two coats of primer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two coats of Snow White paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two coats of clear sealant</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a pretty grey glaze...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she's ready to shine again</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is hard for me to part with...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love all the carved details</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the mitered top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the roomy seats</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we paired the table with these great French Provincial chairs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were NASTY when we picked them up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
covered in dirt and the cushions were so bad if you touched them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you were surrounded by a cloud of dust...yuck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're much improved now, sporting Java from Amy Howard at Home</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fabric is an uber cool repro European grainsack</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(thank you, DecorSteals!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's Linen with a dark glaze on the formerly-ugly-brass lamps...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO. MUCH. BETTER. NOW.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of these sets are available</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
(sorry, no pics yet of the finished dresser...it is HUGE</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and quite heavy)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately, I've been really loving the idea of making pieces</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
look old and weathered without actually distressing them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I can't get enough of white and grey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of our usual fancy finish with gold leaf, etc</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we kept these pretty simple</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Snow White from General Finishes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In insides are fresh and clean with Snow White paint </div>

The hardware is a custom mixed color using One Step Paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sealed with Satin topcoat from GF</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coordinating dresser wears the same finish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and turned out lovely</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can visualize this set in an all white bedroom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with touches of grey linen on the bed...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gorgeous!</div>

I love to buy dining sets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not love to paint dining sets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's no secret my favorite French Provincial manufacturer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is White Fine Furniture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This set...yeah, it's made by White</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh happy day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Sort of makes me hate painting chairs </div>

That gorgeous stain?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
None other than Gel Stain from General Finishes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(available locally at Marcotte's, right next door to 607!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sealed the stain with General Finishes Salad Bowl Finish</div>

(food safe)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The chairs had horrible blue fabric...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not a great upholsterer, so I painted both sides of the back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Amy Howard at Home's One Step Paint in Linen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and only recovered the seats</div>

No, I did NOT get a "before"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know...I'm really terrible about that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
close your eyes and visualize very light golden pine...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yep, you've got it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not pretty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing, of course, that a little paint won't fix!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I call this my FAVORITE THINGS dresser</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I used some of my favorite products to complete it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've really come to embrace these dramatic triple mirrors...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they really make a huge statement!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(also, that little sign sums up my life...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's not perfect, but my hair sure is!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a much better representation of the true color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Luxe Grey from Amy Howard at Home's One Step Paint line for the base</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and on the hardware)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSOfLSDG46rM2YDE0dsZorpn_ae3AW76gxA3btfO8tVTXtwnNU5Pz1DpYxL6JMpqio1PXKyJ_t1VNX6L8sH0sbuQiTNBIRa0IL0JzgdIlqkpX4b9GjJnW8boIWuv4X2gGPhbMdgEwTo5B/s1600/french+country+dresser+at+607+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSOfLSDG46rM2YDE0dsZorpn_ae3AW76gxA3btfO8tVTXtwnNU5Pz1DpYxL6JMpqio1PXKyJ_t1VNX6L8sH0sbuQiTNBIRa0IL0JzgdIlqkpX4b9GjJnW8boIWuv4X2gGPhbMdgEwTo5B/s1600/french+country+dresser+at+607+005.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hardware simply received two coats of OSP, wax, and Dust of Ages</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our wax of choice is Carnauba Wax from Real Milk Paint Co</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGToIQ0DaexyiegxZg07GFHsOq6136ntwDn6qpuvcsXb0A3ZWLsZIzvBFWKkq01-MLCVIA2zhkD6qPkeGplKjCD_WJSoLHsd__3HqgFuyDRLAdljW4Bfh_rJ08rXLcXS5Ev6zJpDt1nX0W/s1600/french+country+dresser+at+607+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGToIQ0DaexyiegxZg07GFHsOq6136ntwDn6qpuvcsXb0A3ZWLsZIzvBFWKkq01-MLCVIA2zhkD6qPkeGplKjCD_WJSoLHsd__3HqgFuyDRLAdljW4Bfh_rJ08rXLcXS5Ev6zJpDt1nX0W/s1600/french+country+dresser+at+607+007.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted the body of the dresser to be a bit more dramatic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(not as soft as the hardware)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I used a custom blend of General Finishes Glazes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm crazy about how the glaze settled into the oak, highlighting the grain and the wear marks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I know they are fabricated to mimic age, but who cares...they looks amazing!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a run-down of a few of my FAVORITE THINGS:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/amyhowardathome">One Step Paint from Amy Howard at Home</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/generalfinishesusa">Geneneral Finishes Glaze</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>We're sort of known for our painted pieces</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>but did you know we also do complete restorations?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>(are you shocked we don't paint EVERYTHING?)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I shouldn't say "we" as I want no part of stripping,sanding, staining...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>no thanks!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ken, however, is THE MAN</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>when it comes to restoring furniture to it's former glory</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This stunning Eastlake bookcase</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>had sentimental value for our clients...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>it's always such a privilege to be entrusted with pieces </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>that hold such meaning</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I can't locate a "before" shot, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>but it had water damage,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>the three piers no longer fit together,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>the finish was rough,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>the hardware was...actually, I have no words!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>And to top it all off, it was no longer level</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A challenge, to be sure</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>If you HATE stripping and sanding like I do</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>you will find these photos unsettling</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>(when I think of the HOURS of hand sanding all those nooks and crannies...YIKES)</b></div>

My friend Jenni and I hit the road on Friday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Plant City...Home of Fancy Flea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and lucky us...also home of Maryland Fried Chicken)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've avoided going to Fancy Flea the last few years</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because it gets SO crowded...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean crowded like you can barely walk down the road </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
much less actually SEE anything</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because Fancy Flea was a two day event this time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and day one happened to be Halloween</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured it wouldn't be too insane</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, it was not. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather was gorgeous, the crowds were manageable,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and much to my relief, it was NOT a sea of painted furniture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as it has been in the past</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a lovely assortment of items for sale</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See for yourself:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, we had a wonderful day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shopping, chatting with friends, sipping lemonade, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(there may have been some cupcakes involved)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
eyeballing all the eye candy, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all topped off with fried chicken</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ain't NOTHING wrong with a day like that!</div>

I've officially run out of my current color OBSESSION</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Tick Tock from Amy Howard at Home)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I cracked open another recently released color that is also </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
GORGEOUS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
GET IN GEAR...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We primed this solid wood cabinet in white before applying Get in Gear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then distressed with a medium grit sanding sponge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to reveal both the white and the dark stained wood</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I've found if you distress One Step Paint right after it's dry, it distressed fairly easily)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The color is rich, vibrant, and saturated...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I opted to keep the interior very simple</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in fresh, clean white</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(the doors had decorative wood inserts, but I loved the more modern look</div>

of the plain glass doors)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a wonderful statement piece, don't you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I imagine this piece in a neutral dining room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(perhaps mostly white?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with some natural wood elements</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've been chasing down a buffet to paint for a few months now...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as usual, one turned up right down the street</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(the best stuff always turns up close to home!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used AHaH One Step Paint in Luxe Grey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with clear wax and Dust of Ages</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a bit of distressing, yet it still looks wonderfully aged</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dust of Ages adds SO MUCH character and patina</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I restored the drawers and doors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I decoupaged inside the top drawer with antique sheet music </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but forgot to get a pic!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The original hardware wears a distressed gold leaf finish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, it was NOT fun painting that trim on the doors...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I never have to do that again, it will be just fine with me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the supplies out to decoupage,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I decided to do a little experiment on a plain wood box</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a fun project, and SO EASY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mixed 50% Elmers glue with 50% water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and applied to the box</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then smoothed on the sheet music I had already cut to size</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then brushed the glue mixture over the top to seal and let it all dry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(about 30 minutes)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, the fun part...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sanded the heck out of with a medium grit sanding block,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
followed by clear wax mixed with Dust of Ages to create a weathered wax</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the finish looks old and worn but feels like silk...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I forsee this treatment on something larger in the future!</div>

I was down with Strep Throat for almost TWO WEEKS...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure what was worse...the Strep or not painting!</div>

(OK, Strep was the hands down worst of the two...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was incredibly eager to get back to work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This dresser had been awaiting paint for several weeks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm quite pleased with the outcome</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The wood was pretty enough, but sort of orange and quite dated</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I debated on going very fancy with colored panels and gold leaf details</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I've been craving softness and gentle distressing lately</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this soft, romantic finish I mixed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AHaH's Luxe Grey One Step Paint (OSP)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Black OSP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(3/1 ratio)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I glazed the paint using White Glaze from General Finishes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The white slightly lightened the grey, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
settling into the recesses and brush strokes<br />
<br />
You could use a glaze, like I did, or a white wax,<br />
or even a watered down white wash<br />
all would give you a similar look<br />
I like to use what I have on hand, and I had glaze<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I lightly distressed the edges while the glaze was still a bit damp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then sealed the entire piece with clear wax once dry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hardware was painted Ballet White OSP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then waxed and finished with Dust of Ages for a lovely patina</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wouldn't this piece make a wonderful bathroom vanity? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Poor Kenny...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">he's been stuck on clean/repair/prep detail for FAR too long!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He's been longing to get creative</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He's the master when it comes to using a spray gun...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so when this desk needed a revamp, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ken got to it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The before wasn't terrible...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the desk is Drexel and the quality is exceptional</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The client, however, wanted a rich copper desk...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The process wasn't quick</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After removing all the ormolu and hardware, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the piece was cleaned and sprayed with high quality gripper</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The inside of the drawers were stripped and re-stained</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so they look like NEW</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the body of the desk was painted with three coats of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Copper Penny from Modern Masters</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the final coat was dry,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ken applied four layers of antiquing glaze</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to richen the copper color and highlight the details</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, he applied multiple thin coats of lacquer </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">providing depth, gloss, and protection</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The ormolu was gold leafed using Amy Howard at Home products</span></div>

I love antique mirrors....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not just the frames, but the weathered glass, too</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not always easy to find!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've been having a bit of a love affair lately with two products</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from <a href="http://www.amyhowardathome.com/">Amy Howard at Home</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
High Performance Lacquer Spray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Antique Mirror Solution</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know both of these products intimidate some people...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I promise, they are easy to use and the results are amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're loving the uber modern vibe the shiny lacquer gives the frame</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
juxtaposed with the aged mirror patina</div>

We scored these chairs about three years ago...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they were part of an estate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The seller had some some "interesting" repairs and refurbishing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on many of the items we purchased and these chairs were no exception</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A set of four, with perfectly chippy paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
however the seats had rotten wood and janky stuffing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(If Finn and Jake can say JANKY so can I)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
along with moldy fabric </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oh, and the trim was actually glued on directly to the frame</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which explains why they've been sitting for so long!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bye bye, rotten wood, janky stuffing, and moldy fabric!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello new wood, new cushions, and a thorough cleaning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We even added new batting (two layers!) so the chairs are ultra comfy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We sealed the lovely chippy paint to preserve the finish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cane back, coupled with the chippy finish, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
provides so much texture to these chairs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Visually, they are stunning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fabric choice needed to be simple enough to not distract from the finish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yet special enough to co-star</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
White. White and chippy... Perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
White, chippy, AND RUFFLED?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heaven!</div>

To achieve this look, he stripped the entire table down to raw wood</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
using oil paint, he created a thin glaze</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(the finish shown took two coats)</div>

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/607VM">607 Vintage MarketPlace </a>has almost been open a week now...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone's spaces are looking really great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Smalls" are my biggest challenge...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't enjoy buying them, really</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my personal aesthetic is a bit more streamlined</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
too much "stuff" and your retail space begins to look cluttered</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
too little, and it looks sparse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like Goldilocks and the porridge, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is a sweet spot that's JUST RIGHT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, smalls can carry you, as a retailer,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
between larger item sales</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are, in my opinion, a necessary evil! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My ideal smalls?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loads of Ironstone, rusty metal bits, hunks of architectural salvage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pretty pillows, and a few pieces of tarnished silver here and there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My goal is to work on smalls this week! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a glance at some of the new items from our space:</div>
