Mid Century Chest of Drawers

Lots of things going on around here. We are headed into the holidays and things are hustling. Dreamingincolor will be 2 in a couple of months!! I can't believe it. 

The biggest news is my son got engaged on Aug 4th. I will be in wedding mode from here on out!! Not only am I getting a daughter-in-law, I am also getting a grandson who is 6 years old!! Instant grandma and I cannot be more thrilled. He is just adorable. They also just bought a house so hopefully they will be shopping for some furniture at Dreamingincolor! *wink *wink

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...

Turquoise Jewelry Chest

`Although the 3M clean air system was provided by 3M, all opinions are mine.

Bright and pretty Turquoise! 

Shades of blue are throughout my home and in the work that I do. One of my favorite colors is turquoise. Maybe it has something to do with my December birthday. Turquoise is my birthstone.

I don't know, but it is appealing to me.

In this project I got to go through my blue craft room and turn some junk treasures into a little addition to change up the look and update an old boring jewelry chest. 

Turquoise Bench

I came across this bench awhile ago. It is hand made but so dark. There was a nice design to it, so it intrigued me. I thought it would be something different to paint. It is so solid and heavy.

Of course the finish was a little rough so I just let it work for me. Now to find a bright cheery color.

 I decided on Turquoise.

 I just dry brushed this one. I let that roughness shine through. I sanded the ugly brown paint in some areas then dry brushed the others.

Now the finish looks worn off in some areas. The bright color just makes it pop!

So it is a new look for the bench. I can just imagine potted flowers all around it with some really pretty pillows. But....

I will just have to imagine because it is another piece that is for sale! I don't mind because I love being a part of it and letting it go for someone to enjoy!

I would love if you would follow me on my journey!
