Custom Vanity Seat

The client wanted a vanity seat for her bathroom. The colors of the bathroom are green, maroon, and cream. I found this little bench and decided that it would be perfect for her seat!

I refinished the whole seat and painted it dark red. I then painted the bottom of the legs green. I drilled 2 holes in the seat before adding the cushion. I then covered it with fabric and threaded the buttons.

This is the end result!

Musical Jewelry Box

This musical jewelry box was a mess when i discovered it. I decided to give it a new life!

I removed the tiny hardware and sanded the whole thing. I painted it a lovely shade of gray and replaced the hardware with tiny substitutions. (The doors have tiny skull knockers on them)

I also replaced the ring holders with leopard print felt, and replaced the lining of the drawers with hot pink felt, light gray felt, and black "animal skin" felt.

The table is sealed with polyurethane.

Memoir Tie Chair

A client came to me with an idea:
Her father passed away, and he left a bunch of ties that she didn't know what to do with. After seeing my posts, she decided a tie chair would be perfect for her, and she would use it as a sewing table chair!
She wanted the chair to be white, wide, and comfy.

And after!

Hand-Painted Side Table

As I sometimes do, I forgot to take a before picture of this little pretty.

I refinished this little side table and primed it before painting it black. I then hand-painted a cream and red floral design on the top, and a cream floral design on the bottom of one of the legs. The table also has a white trim around the top.

Checkerboard Side Table

I have been wanting to make a side table with a checkerboard on the top for awhile now, so when I bought this table, I knew it would be perfect!

Soooooo I sanded and primed the whole thing before I painted in black.

I then started on the actual checkerboard, which is gray and cream... Wow. Super tedious. 

I am incredibly happy with the end result!

I sealed the whole thing off with 2 coats of polyurethane.

Breast Cancer Awareness Chair - Colors of Cancer

I was asked to participate in an event called "Colors of Cancer", which is a dinner and fashion show that is sponsored by the Cancer Warriors. You may remember my past post about it.
In addition to modeling in the fashion show, I also donated a breast cancer awareness chair to the silent auction. I worked on the chair for 4 months, collecting ties, finding the perfect chair, etc.

Before:

It was in terribly bad shape, so in addition to intense sanding, it also needed a good bit of wood putty. I chose a lovely shade of pink to paint the chair, and I painted a pink ribbon on the side before adding 2 coats of polyurethane. 

After it was painting, it was time for the seat. I spent a lot of time finding ties with pink in them. This is how the chair turned out. 

Close up of the ribbon:

I had a booth with some furniture for sale at the event. (pix to come)

Here are some of the modeling pictures:
