Upholstery in Tennessee

It is really hard to find someone that does upholstery. It is even harder to find someone that does it well. I am proud to announce the Dreamingincolor now offers upholstery in Tennessee. Murfreesboro residence and beyond have been eager to get there furniture pieces renewed. So glad we can offer that here.

We have done quite a few in a short time. I would like to show you a couple. This settee is from the 1800's. It had horse hair in the seat and was very crunchy. Ha! We painted the wood to reveal the carvings and totally redid the upholstery and filling.

This was another piece from the 1800's. It was missing the whole bottom. This upholstery is tufted with covered buttons on back. All restored and beautiful.

This chair is a personal favorite. I love the brass nail heads used to accentuate the curves. This chair was painted in Driftwood, The Ikat looking material really brings it up to date.

These are just a few of the pieces that have been restored. The upholstery took it to the present and would make any home look custom.

Scroll down to see the befores. They really transformed!!

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...

Painted Furniture in NYC

I recently went to NYC again. One of my favorite places to go.

This was really an impromptu trip. My daughter was accepted to an acting school there and I was there to show her how to get around the big city. Funny, she was the one showing me though!

We had a blast and got to to lots of things. Wish I could have shopped more but I did get to visit a shop in Greenwich Village.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the name. The tag said Reclaim, Recycle.

How bad could that be?

That is what I do so I was curious to see.

Painted furniture in NYC is a lot more expensive than here but I enjoyed all the eye candy.

I loved the patina on the furniture. Most had tons of distressing.

Transforming Furniture the Dreaming-n-Color Way

I am over at Inspiration Cafe at Silo Hill Farm. Come by and check it out!

I hope you have enjoyed the few things that I shared. Please stop and look around at some more. You can search on the side bar.

Thanks again Danni! I love that our blogs have brought us together and started a friendship! 

Thanks to everyone for reading!

Furniture Transformations {My Special Guest}

Hi everyone!!! I'm so delighted to be here this morning :) Deneen is my painting soul mate, honestly, I'm in awe of her work ( I know all of you are too ) and her business savvy but most of all I'm totally inspired and jealous of her organizational skills. She planned this morning's switcheroo - you can find her post over at my place!!! Deneen - you have the best ideas ever - thanks for planning this and having me over!!!

Ok first things first - I'm Suzan - and I blog over at Simply Vintageous...by Suzan.  My blog is mainly about furniture restoration peppered with some of the most ridiculous conversations between my husband and myself. I do custom pieces for customers - here are a couple of my all time favorites - ( with some of our conversations stuck in between ) I also redo pieces I've found on my own through Craigs list that are screaming out for a little love.

Duck Egg Table

Duck Egg table or should I say bunny table.....

Sometimes you make things and wind up NEEDING what you make.

Now that spring is here I wanted to paint something cheery

I love duck egg and purchased this new little table. I just replaced the knob with a little bling and I was in love.

When I completed it I knew it would be the perfect place to display my little bunny for Easter.

I placed it my breakfast nook. It matched my china cabinet that I painted last summer. If you were here you might remember that was a project.

It looks like spring now.

It is a far cry from the before....

I love the shape and the lines of the table. It has a drawer and shelf below which is useful.

My favorite thing about painting furniture is being able to keep pieces till I tire of them.

Sometimes the bad thing about painting furniture is finding places in your house to put them till you are

This place works. Till Easter anyway. My bunny has a place to sit to make this area feel a little more like spring.

Duck egg in springtime.....and a bunny with a new home

I love my new little piece of furniture.

Back From Bella {Barn Sale Recap} Part 2

 Part 1 Here


Did I tell you how much work went into this? Whew! I had so much fun meeting so many of you but it sure was a lot of work. I don't like to do things half way so making the booth look good was a top priority. In the end, I would have change a few things to lighten it up a bit. I did have a ton of compliments on the design and pieces that filled it so I take that as a success!

This was the after Picture courtesy of Angie The Country Chic Cottage

Remember the before?

I wish I would have taken the after sale picture and you would have seen how much was gone. Lots of small pieces. The largest thing sold was that chippy cabinet. Next year I would not bring so many big pieces of furniture.

So I left of with the dinner on Friday night with all the area bloggers and the gals that came in for a visit.

We took a group picture of some of the bloggers that were there. You may recognize a few!

This picture was taken by my friend Michele from The Scrap Shoppe.

Note to self: Do not take pictures when covered in barn dirt and after several weeks of no sleep!!

Several bloggers participated in a blog panel. They even went to area booths and create a room with the merchandise they gathered.

Saturday was our busiest day with lots of customers and purchases! It was also the day we sold most of the smalls we had left.

I spent some time with Sandra from Sawdust and Paper Scraps. She is a sweetie!! She made me laugh modeling around the barn!

She is too cute!

Sunday was wrap up. Sales were slow and the thought of packing up made me even more tired!!

It was hard to say goodbye to my new found friends! I will miss them.

Here is some eye candy for you!

I didn't sell that clock and I am glad because I am using it in my Halloween Mantel!!

Hope you enjoyed that post!

Nest

Beautiful isn't it? The beach is always a great place to get wonderful pictures. This one looks like a postcard. I am back from my two week vacation. Back to reality. I have to say reality isn't that bad when you have had a break from it!!

Without boring you with many pictures and vacation posts I will end my trip with my favorite new store to find wonderful items, Nest 30A.

When I read the sign on the front of the building I knew I had to check it out. I mean who wouldn't be inquisitive with the name Nest.

The front porch was adorned with goodies to intrigue you to enter.

I was greeted by their furry baby (wish I got a picture of him) and by the owner Ali.

Her and her husband just moved to Florida from Birmingham. They opened this dream store recently.

Love the cubbies on this piece! The store was spilling over with fab furniture, accessories and art.

This cart was amazing. Made from reclaimed wood. Look at those wheels!!

Nice mirror reflecting the store and the little bird art was adorable.

This was one of my favorite pieces and don't you just love that big bottle on top and the floor mirrors that stood by its side.... wow!

All of the pieces were tagged with their signature tags, that Ali was proud to say, her husband created.

I love the atmosphere and friendly attitude. They were so welcoming and excited to show off their little piece of paradise. Everything was beautiful. The prices were great too! I am sure they will prosper in this location.

So if you are near 30A Seaside, Grayton Beach or any of the beautiful surrounding areas go check them out! I promise you won't be disappointed. 1414 County Highway 283 South, Unit C, Grayton Beach, FL.

For more great pictures go check out their Facebook page.

Thanks again Ali for the fabulous tour and the great shopping!!
