Primitive Cabinet turned Farmhouse {All Good Things}

Like I said I am running crazy getting ready for Bella Rustica Barn Sale happening the end of Sept. Donna from Funky Junk Interiors will be a guest there! So excited she is one of my favorites!!!
She will be sharing her ideas about turning junk into fabulous home decor! Go visit the link and take down the directions and be there!!!

I wanted to share this new piece with you.
It was very old and primitive. I used my Purdy brush and the rest of my Annie Sloan sample from the Haven Conference to finish it. Quite the transformation!

I also added these adorable drawer pulls! Love stars!!
Do you think it needs anything else or should it stay this way?

French Provincial End Tables {Annie Sloan}

Annie Sloan paint should come with a warning! It is addictive. Although I still use other paints, I love the versatility this paint offers. Painting is quicker too!

Blackberry House will be celebrating the grand opening of the store on Thursday, August 9,2012. Polly had a soft opening to get a feel for what the customers are looking for. Apparently, what we have they love because it has been pretty successful without even advertising. The opening will be special with discounts, prizes and treats. Hope you all can make it!


I wanted to paint something new for the opening. This is the new addition to the store. French Provincial End Tables with marble tops.

Such pretty details. Polly got these for me the other night, I love the colors too. I painted it with Paloma and French Linen.

I left the marble as is because it was in such great shape. It needed paint though!

I have been on a french provincial kick lately. Can you blame me? Look at those legs! I dark waxed the details and it stands out more.


I wanted to show you my little helper. Actually he isn't little any longer. He is my faithful partner though!
Never leaves my side.

Love's to watch me paint but hates the smell of the wax! Do you have a critter at your side? He does keep me company, though it is hard to keep him out of the pictures!

Added Extras for Free

Sometimes the littlest things cam make such a big impacts. As I was getting ready for the opening of the store I wanted to create some fun. I still had my Big Paper flower that I was going to incorporate in the vignette.  I was going to staple it in the corner with brown paper stems but change the furniture around so it wouldn't work that way. Then I put it on the ceiling. I added some branches to give it a canopy feel and it became that little something special in the space.

It just goes to show you it doesn't have to cost money to get a big impact in a space.

I also added burlap roses om rope to grow up the wall. These were scraps I had in my bag.

I just let the rope hang to make it more whimsical. All in all I think it helped bring the space together.

Branches were added to the other side of the room too. I placed my "birds on a wire" across the bedpost and gave it a garden feel.

I love decorated with found objects and garbage treasures! Have you ever used branches in your space? What other things have you used? I would love to know!
