My Favorite Things

Since the beginning of the year, I have been swamped with custom orders and furniture sales. I am not complaining by any means. This is what I love.

Though it leaves little time for anything else.

There are some many things I enjoy doing. I am lucky enough to do most of them. One of my favorite things to do is blog and unfortunately time has taken me away from doing it as often as I used to. I must have tons of content stored away I can share with you but days start early now and end too soon.

I am still trying to get into that groove again.

I am going to try a little series of My Favorite Things.

This way I can share with you my favorite pieces of furniture, new products or something that has inspired me.

I will start with a piece of furniture since that is something I truly enjoy. AND I didn't paint this one.

Are you ready?

This piece is original. I love so many qualities in this piece. First of all...

Grey Hutch {French Style}

One of my favorite colors to paint furniture is grey. I have used it many times before. Once when I painted my Scripture Hutch I used Paris Grey. I also used it on my Dining Room Buffet.

Then the color grey I fell in love with was French Linen. I painted some French End Tables with it and now this hutch. Like I said, there were a few and some I haven't mentioned here.

I feel grey is a great neutral for any room. I love to be able to move my furniture from room to room and this color affords me that luxury.

This piece is for sale. It is sitting in my living room right now. I am deciding if I want to do anything else to it.

It has some fun details to work with....

Lets start with the beautiful curvy legs!

Then there is some pretty molding...

I love how the dark wax pops everything! Lets face it, painting is always a change, and this piece was no exception. You can see the before and after...

The inside has glass shelves and a light for displays. What I am not sure of is if I should paint the inside? It is a big piece and I would love to sell it without having to do so. Most of the time, I have painted the inside. I painted a charcoal in my large Red Hutch, red in the Bird Hutch and White in my Black French Script Hutch. See I told you I did a few and these aren't all of them!!
