Yellow Chair

I opened a store in 3 weeks! Unbelievable!

Never thought this could happen so fast. So many wonderful things going on. Getting that first person to walk in the door and buy something was so exciting! I hope it keeps getting better! Please pray for me!

WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!

English Yellow End Table

A yellow rose and its meaning. Admiration, joy, friendship

When I hear English Yellow I think of Princess Diana the English Rose. I remember the sadness when she died. Elton John did a tribute to her "Goodbye England's Rose" to the tune of Candle in the Wind"

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed itself

Where lives were torn apart

You called out to our country

And you whispered to those in pain

Now you belong to heaven

And the stars spell out your name

Flash forward to today.

We celebrate the birth of a prince! Princess Diana's Son Prince William and his wife Catherine named their son Prince George Alexander. What a celebration!

That is how I view the color yellow. Happy and sad.

What does this have to do with furniture?

Wooden Box

The problem with painting is you want to do it to everything you own!

I don't paint everything in my home but I have to say it gets tempting.

I know someday this will all be "out of style" and all us "painters" will be "strippers". LOL (no not that kind)

I bought this old wooden box because I knew painting was going to make it better! At one time I am sure it was loved but now it was crying for help.

 

I really loved the carving on top of this but you could hardly see it.

 

I painted it lemongrass yellow and highlighted the carving in grey. 

 

I distressed it but it was still to plain for me. 

Then the inspiration came from a tin I had.

I love the little bee on the front of it.

So with more grey paint I painted the front of the box.

I distressed the image and highlighted the carvings on each side. Much better!

This was a huge improvement to me!

What do you think?

Before

After

  

 So now you can use it as a small table, a bench, and storage box! The best part of this is the storage.

Stay tuned for a giveaway! I will finally post tomorrow!!

An Ugly Duckling

I think this has to be the worst piece of furniture I have ever bought. It is not in horrible shape, its the color. It was yellow and then painted brown. 

It is an Ugly Duckling!!

 

Why oh why did the have to paint everything yellow? The inside and the outside. Even the back is yellow. It is not even a pretty yellow! It is bright and intrusive!
