More custom chairs!

I'm sure you remember the lovely antique table and buffet that sold a couple of weeks ago. And as promised, here are the custom chairs that they ordered! I just love the mismatched look. My clients chose a luxurious dark charcoal grey velvet and it really pops off of the subtle white.
They wanted just a touch of light distressing to match the table and buffet.

It's elegant yet whimsical... vintage meets modern. LOVE it! It was definitely bittersweet to see these leave the house! I was getting used to having these in our dining room!

So, what do you think?

Ultra-distressed china hutch - SOLD

Oh. My. Oh. My. Oh. My. Where to begin with this one?! This might be my absolute. favorite. piece. e.v.e.r.
I picked up this awesome vintage china hutch about a year ago and have been back and forth on how to finish it ever since. Aqua? Rustic Red? White? Chalk paint? No chalk paint? Distressed? Lacquered?



I finally buckled down and decided on a classic heirloom white and hours and hours AND HOURS of distressing this baby. I didn't want this one to have a subtle rub-through distressing like so many of my other pieces. I wanted this to look like it had been through the wringer with years of wear.

Antique Buffet - SOLD

Here it is finished and looking beautiful! LOVE IT!!!

Remember the amazing antique dining table that I recently posted? Ahhh, I don't think I could have loved that table any more. It was so unique! It was snatched up right away by the sweetest couple ever. I couldn't be happier that it went to such a great Family!

Adorable Red Distressed Storage Cabinet - SOLD

I'm so excited about this newly-finished piece! It is so charming and so versatile. It was originally a bar and works perfectly as such... The shelves work great for bottles and the drawers are perfect for your accessories... bottle openers, wine glass tassles, you name it! BUT... I see it working in so many other areas of your home as well!

Unique Barn Door Red + Aqua Kitchen Accessory Set! - SOLD

Oh my goodness. So anyone who's been in my kitchen knows that I'm kind of a sucker for a good "pop" of color. And I'm also pretty notorious for painting just about anything I can get my hands on. Bread boxes, knife blocks, wooden signs, spice racks.... all of the above are prominently displayed in my kitchen. Simply put... I'm obsessed with anything "functional yet stylish". And I always find myself asking the question: "If it's functional, why can't it be stylish too?"

Aqua distressed pedestal table w/ textured faux hammered bronze top - SOLD

This one is for all of you out there who like a good "pop" or color and furniture that really stands out. This distressed aqua + cream pedestal table is SO fun and unique. The pedestal base has some really cool glazing effects that add a lot of character. The top is a great solid wood that's been texturized with a hammered finish in a dark oil-rubbed bronze.

Since it's round, it's petite enough to fit in your kitchenette or a breakfast nook...but it would certainly work beautifully as the centerpiece of your formal dining room as well. It seats 5-6.

Curvy-legged side table - SOLD

 Okay... I think you guys are really going to love this one! It reminds me of the super unique curvy-legged dining table that sold as fast as I could get it posted a few weeks ago. I came across this adorable octagonal accent table recently and immediately snatched it up! I knew with it's gorgeous curves and cool overall silhouette, it would look amazing in a sleek charcoal grey and distressed just a touch.

I really love how it turned out! If you don't know already, I'm obsessed with all things gray and yellow, so I had to stage it with some lovely yellow tulips! Happy Spring!

I'm sure this one will go quickly! Email me if you're interested in it... or if you'd like one of our available unfinished pieces customized like this for you!

MAKEOVER: A Tiny Minneapolis Kitchen

My hubby and I recently had the pleasure of taking on a kitchen redesign in Southwest Minneapolis. This tiny, dated, dark, Linden Hills kitchen really needed a face lift. Years of use, dogs and kids had taken it's toll on the cupboards and doors... and with limited storage space, we definitely had our work cut out for us!
Here's how it looked before:

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G antique dining table with hidden leaf - SOLD

I'm so excited to share my latest transformation with you! This dining table is so beautiful! It's one of those pieces that is hard to come by for it's amazing distinctive features. I wish they still made furniture like this. Thoughtfully. Every carving, every detail was so thought out.
 I came across it last year right before winter hit and wanted so badly to get started on it right away, but the garage gets too cold here in MN. Our winter ended up lasting a whopping 7. MONTHS. {yes, that's what I said} finally going out with a bang in May after 3 snowstorms in 3 weeks. YUCK. Why do I live here again?
Needless to say, I was SO excited when everything started melting and the garage warmed up! This was first on the list! I wish I could keep it! I know this piece will completely transform someone's dining room and I can't wait to see who ends up with it!

Custom chairs

Before.... not so pretty, huh?

Last year I finished a really cool chalkboard top pedestal table and posted it for sale. It wasn't long before this great couple, Tiffany and Craig, came along and snatched it up! They were building a home and knew that it would work well for their adorable family of 5.

Along with the table, they also hired me to finish 6 custom chairs to match.

They recently closed on their house and came by to pick everything up. I love how they all turned out!
