Holidays are coming...

Are you ready for the fastly approaching holiday season? Do you have enough seating, table space? Maybe you just moved and are in need of new furniture.

This week I have acquired several new pieces with more to come and they are all available for custom painting in time for your holiday gatherings!

Items available are Bombay & Co coffee table and matching side table, a small foyer/entry way table and a round pedestal dining/breakfast table with a leaf. There are chairs available as well if you are looking for a dining set, if not you can purchase the table by itself.

Best part is YOU get to choose your paint color!! Contact me soon for pictures and pricing in order to guarantee finishing before your holiday gathering!

Just a reminder that all custom pieces require a 50% deposit at time of order and the remainder 50% when you pick up finished items.

I want to hear from YOU!!

Yes, my dear followers, fans, friends....tell me what paint colors you want to see. I have picked up several pieces lately and I am dying to paint them but I am BORED with the colors I already have and want to spice things up a bit.

I am dying to paint something a kelly green or a hot pink or a inky, navy blue...would you buy a table or other piece of furniture in those colors? Remember everyone needs a POP of color somewhere or  that one conversational piece in their home.

So, have at it, send me your color choices and then keep an eye out for these new pieces to be for sale!

Don't forget that I am also available for custom painting on a piece(s) you already own and love that just needs a little updating. Email me at karenpartin@hotmail.com for an estimate on your piece and please attach several pictures with a description of what look you are wanting done to it. Please allow up to 2 weeks on custom pieces and a 50% deposit will be required when you drop your item off to me with the remainder due when you pick up the finished product.

We are heading out to the Braselton Antique Festival this weekend and looking forward to getting some inspiration from vendors and meeting a vendor that I have met through FB, can't wait to put a face with a name! If you are in the northern part of Atlanta and have time be sure to head up there and check out the festival.

Have a great weekend and remember to post those colors!!

Pendant lamp

Earlier this year I saw this wire basket at my mother-in-law's and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it...turn it into a pendant lamp!!! It is larger than the picture shows, will try and get a better angle posted later today.

It was super easy as the basket already had an opening in the bottom that the light kit would fit through. I think it would look great hanging over a breakfast table, in a foyer, hanging outside over the front door or anywhere you want/need some lighting. I personally like it black but I will paint it whatever color the buyer requests. Contact me for pricing.

Mom and daughter rocking chair re-do

I had the pleasure of re-doing a rocking chair for some friends from church who were expecting their first baby. This rocking chair belonged to the mom's family and she was rocked in it as a little girl and wanted to update it to use with her own little girl.

The original color was an olive/avocado green and they wanted to go with an antique white and distress it down to where some of the original green would come through...I tried a new product on it, Webster's Chalk Paint powder and I love the way it turned out!

The baby arrived a few days early and had to spend some time in the hospital but she is home now. When I dropped off the rocking chair yesterday they loved it and were already rocking that sweet baby in it before I left.

The after pic was taken in too much sun but I hope you can get a good idea of the final finish.

Monogram Pumpkin Decor

I made these pumpkin decorations last fall and decided to offer them again this year if there is any interest. If you are not the Fall/Halloween decorating type I can also offer these for Christmas with a ball in place of the pumpkin. Pricing starts around $25 and can be painted in any color and glittered in any color. Contact me soon if wanting to use for Fall or to get a jumpstart on your Christmas decorating.
