Plank table

It's a rainy double feature kind of day. Why have I been cursed with responsibilities!? Here's my newest table experiment. It was loosly inspired by some tables I saw a while back in portland, OR made from reclaimed painted floorboards by ReFind furniture

 

I wanted something playful that wasn't going to be overbearing- any table of mine needs to be a showcase for fresh flowers!

 

The poplar is so beautiful I wanted to highlight the grain instead of obscuring it.

 

before the stain and white wash was added- still a good looking table.

Birds on a wire

La la la spring is here! Today was devoted to making a 'shrine to spring' window display. Thanks to design*sponge and spool for the inspiration!

The bench from yesterday with all the nails 'intact' (har har har)

Hedboard bench

today's piece was made from a headboard that was bound for the dumpster. Good thing I got there when I did!


The giant bench!

Once upon a time this headboard was unwanted.


But wait! A whole new life is possible.

1/2" plywood cut to mirror the headboard.


3" foam- expertly cut.


Nail that fabric!


But is it still waiting for some upholstery buttons?

Perfection

Today I was lucky enough to work with a very dear friend. It was a dream- chating about ex's, painting, and drinking grown up juice boxes. What's that you say- grown up juice boxes?


Pocket espresso. Have you ever heard of anything more brilliant!?* She brought them back from italy and they were perfect after lunch. Tomorrow I'll post a picture of her new orange kitchen, but today I have a sweet little chair before and after.

*gross? maybe, but they were so chocolaty and caffeine is so important.....

Before- that's light brown paint and it wasn't doin it for me.



That's better.
