French Provincial 6 Drawer Dresser

Love french furniture and applying different painting techniques.
That is what I am known for at my store. 
Something I always tried to do also on my blog.

Like when I painted my blue and white dresser!

But now I had a pretty french provincial dresser to makeover.

Cowboy Letter Art

Note:although I have been supplied with paints, all ideas and opinions are my own



I am in love with this project and just had to share this with you today! I love pallet art and have worked with different mediums to achieve a creative look from time to time. So when I was approached by Modern Masters to review this effects paint, I was so excited. To be honest, I didn't think it would work. At the least, I didn't think it would look good! That was till I used it for my Cowboy Pallet Art!

So let me start from the beginning......

Vintage Ceiling Tin Guitar

Artist are all over the store Dreamingincolor!

This was my dream! To have all sorts of artist's creations available for sale in one place.
We have such a mix.

Audrey sold! So sad and happy to see her go. Love the art pieces that make these special.

My new artist exclusive to Dreamingincolor and Murfreesboro TN is Bobby Boyd Designs.

He creates his masterpieces with old vintage ceiling tins.

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!

Red Hutch with Chicken Wire

There is blackberry in the house!

and strawberry 

and blueberry!

We now carry an assortment of local homemade jams! Since I am located down the street from Historic Oakland House Museum I am hoping to see some tourists this spring and summer. I carry a lot of handmade items from local artisans too.

I was going to put them in this red hutch but it sold.


It was pretty to have for Christmas though. You might have seen it already in this post.

Fireplace Screen

When I opened my store Dreamingincolor, I wanted to be able to offer unique and creative handmade items. Something that sets us apart.

Something that showcases my art and others.

That is why I loved working on this project.

I like combining different pieces together to form an art piece. Like when I used an antique table leg seen here.

It is my funky junk that helped create this piece!
