SPRING!

I am so glad spring seems to be upon us! February around here was wet and cold and I do not do wet and cold very well!! Since we had so much rain furniture painting was put on the backburner and sought out a way to occupy my time inside.

Thus a new item I have added to my business...baseball cuff bracelets! I take an old, aged baseball, cut it up and voila! I make a bracelet out of it! I offer blinged out cuffs and I am also offering monogram/embroidered cuffs with a team name, jersey number, initials, etc...monogrammed onto the cuff.

Let's Make a Deal!!

I have had this table posted on my Facebook page for awhile. It is a consignment piece that is available for custom painting and it is ready to be claimed by a new owner!

Here is my special...I will discount the price for whomever purchases it as long as you choose one of the paint colors I already have in stock.
It is a great coffee table/tv table with a drawer and a glass top. Measurements are 50inLx30inWx18inH

I'm drowning!!!

Ok, I am not drowning but my poor barnwood is!! I brought back several pieces of barnwood from our Christmas trip to see family in NC and was sooooo excited to get started working with them. The only problem is they were wet when we got them back home so they have been propped up outside to dry. Well, we have had so much rain since we got back that my poor barnwood is drowning. I feel like it will be June before I can get it dry enough to work with!!!

I also brought back the wrought iron base to an old Singer sewing machine. Still trying to decide if I am going to paint it or not. My original plan was to use the barnwood to make a table top for it. Like I said that may be a summer project now.

Praying next week is dry so I can get outside and get my hands on some paint brushes!!!

1937 Reveal

Remember the post on Grandma's furniture? Well, we are done with the vanity/desk, highboy, mirror and vanity chair. They turned out BEAUTIFUL and the owner LOVED them! Here is the message left on my FB page by the owner..."I'm still taken back by how beautiful the pieces of my grandmothers furniture from 1937 look in our home. Thank you for restoring and bringing new life to them. What a great story that these treasures will be as they are passed down through the generations!"

I was honored to be able to show her the possibilities of these special pieces and bring those possibilities to life and  cannot wait to get started on the headboard/footboard bench after Christmas vacation. Enjoy the photos (I forgot to get one of the mirror, I will get the owner to send me an AFTER one  and you will need to use your imagination on the BEFORE of it)

We have not yet been able to determine the maker of the furniture but behind the mirror of the vanity was stamped "Logan Porter Mirror Co, High Point, NC  May 7,1937"  (how cool I got to work on this since my birthday is May 7th) We know that her grandparents were married in 1937 and they got this bedroom set as their wedding gift. just wish we could figure out who the furniture company is that made it.

Announcement

The Tattered Orange Blossom will be coming to Greenville,SC in 2013! My husband recently took a new position that will be moving us out of the Metro Atlanta area and into Upstate SC. We are excited about this opportunity and look forward to the new adventure.

He will be commuting for awhile which means I will still be available for custom painting in the Atlanta area for the time being and if you know anyone in the Upstate I can go ahead and start taking some pieces from there to custom paint as he will be able to help transport small to mid-size pieces back and forth for me on occasion.

Spread the word to all your Upstate friends and family and let them know I am coming that way soon!

Grandma's Special

Look at these gorgeous pieces!!  I had a friend bring these back from her Thanksgiving travels. They belonged to her grandmother and her mom had had them in storage for awhile. When I went to check them out we got to talking and I am going to be refinishing them for her new home. I am going to tackle the vanity, vanity chair and mirror first.

There is also a GORGEOUS headboard and footboard with their original wooden rails and high boy chest that match the vanity. The plan for the headboard and footboard are to turn them into a awesome bench for their home and then I will refinish the highboy as well. I will post before pics once I get them.

I am so happy to be a part of refinishing them and letting grandma's furniture take a special place in my friends new home. Be on the lookout for after pictures as we get pieces done.
