Now, you all know I love me some numbers and letters....so imagine my delight when my friend Lily scored these beauties for me a few months back during a local retail store remodel! They were not horrible in their original colors, but I felt like they could use a little knack in their life.....so while they sat in their little basket for a few months begging for some fun, I planned and thought....and then I finally acted on those plans. There are 21 total (wowsers!) and they are each like little pieces of furniture. I paint them, apply paper, sand, and apply poly... so it will take me a few weeks to get them all done and listed in the etsy shop.... but I will get there.....look for these three in the next couple of days!
{The sweet little nightstand is one of two pieces that I just finished for a client...what about those knobs? delish.}

Purple has not always been on my radar. In fact I often look down my nose at it! I'm so naughty for that....
...but then I discovered this lovely color by Benjamin Moore called kalamata....and purple is starting to look up in my world! Let's see if I go nutty, and slap it on a piece of furniture!

Introductions
Hello one and all! Are you ready for a brand new week? I know I am off to a slow start this Monday morning....we had gorgeous weather this weekend and took full advantage of it! I fell into bed last night with one thing on my mind and that was sleep.....
I would like to introduce you all to miss Jesaray. I finished her the same time that I finished Esme and put them both in the etsy shop, but had yet to formally introduce her! I was drawn to the details of this little desk the moment I laid eyes on her . I knew once a little color was added, those details would shine....and I also knew she would be gray , but the pink came to me after the paint job was already finished. Pink and gray always remind me of elephant skin and ears.....that's just a random thought for the day.....but I felt like this color combination was perfect for bringing out the beauty that was there all along!
I hope you all have a fantastic day...we are supposed to get lots of rain today....but right now it is sunny and gorgeous....we'll see....

My dad gave me this vintage book on San Francisco a few weeks ago, and even though it is falling apart and on its last leg....it has been so interesting to read through...
...then an idea for a project hit me.....and some of the pages were given an amazing new life!
...more on that next week!

Are you diggin' what I'm diggin'?
I'm loving how the old ceiling tiles in different color shades, and all grouped together... take on sort of an "art installation" appeal....
Just make sure they are hung securely or that you are up on your tetanus shot...don't want those suckers coming down on ya!

Today it is all about orange....and one of my very favorite orange shades is Baja orange by Ralph Lauren...
....I could dip a spoon in it and eat it....if it weren't bad for my teeth...and intestines...and well...ya know....probably should just stick with home accessories....
try it...you'll love it!
