Audrey Hepburn Wardrobe

Audrey Hepburn is a favorite by all and when I first started blogging I painted a dresser with her on the front. It probably is my favorite project I have done. It got tons of views and comments. All because I hand painted it.

You see that is why I do what I do. i love one of a kind pieces and even when you paint something again it is never the same as the original.

When I opened Dreamingincolor store, I knew she had to grace the room. 

I had been given a vanity a long time ago from my sis and painted it to sell. Now when I got the store she gave me the matching wardrobe. As I debated what to paint on her I decided it had to be Audrey Hepburn!

Gone but Not Forgotten!!

It sure has been a wonderful adjustment to owning my own store.

Time flies everyday...

There is always so much to do. I have tons of pictures to show you and stories to write but I have to admit I fell short on the blogging end....sigh.....

I am painting special orders, designing spaces, rearranging the store and ordering fun one-of-a-kind things. I am also attending meetings with the local business association and advertising.

Through it all I forgot something.....

I forgot to celebrate my Blogiversary!!

NO Sew Drapery Cornices

Do you ever notice that when spring and summer comes around, we are all ready to refresh our homes?

Even colors need to be changed to change the mood we are feeling.

 I decided that I wanted to change the colors of my bedroom to a more spring/summer look. Although I show a lot of vintage inspired furniture around here, my bedroom is a more European/contemporary feel. I like mixing things and I appreciate all styles.

 My bedroom walls are beige and there is a lot of black in the furniture and fabrics I chose. The winter color I use is red. Now I want a blue! So I will be adding blue accents but keeping my drapes neutral.

For now! This is a quick easy solution! No sew!! My type of project. This is how they turned out!
Continue to see how it is done!

French Desk and Giveaway Winner

I am so excited about this piece of furniture that my mother and father found for me. It is french provincial and the shape is wonderful!

I had a customer see it and wanted it before it was even painted. A great thing since she can pick out the color before it goes on the piece.

It started out the usual white with gold trim.

 

It has a top hutch

It also has a drop down desk on the bottom piece.

I painted it in a two-tone dark and light grey. I left all of the hardware original.

I highlighted the details in the carvings with dark first then dry brushed the grey.

I found this oval frame on The Graphics Fairywww.thegraphicsfairy.com and transferred it to the front of the desk to add some interest.

I didn't want it to be so ornate so I adjusted it to be a little simpler. 

 

I hand-painted the inside of the pattern with the dark grey and added the customers last name initial to the center. Then I distressed it so it look like it had been there awhile.

I waxed the desk to give it longevity.

I love the way it turned out! It is a piece no one will have in there home!

Lots of exciting things happening this week! That is why I am a day late on posting the giveaway winner, 

The winner of the custom sign is

Lavender Dreamer

Please contact me within 48 hours to claim your prize and tell me what you would like me to paint for you! Congratulations!!! 

I can't wait to begin!!
