I usually start by looking at a piece of furniture and determine whether it has a masculine or feminine feel. In my opinion most waterfall dressers feel very masculine and great to refinish for boy's rooms.

TIN HANDLES ON SHABBY CHIC WHITE NIGHTSTANDS
Besides the 12 days of fog, the weather has been nice enough here that I have been able to spray paint some things out side. As well my friend calls just to let me know how upset he is that it's warmer in Western Canada than at his home in Central Florida. Here's hoping spring comes to everyone a bit sooner than expected.
HOW TO PAINT A SHABBY CHIC WHITE DRESSER - annie sloan chalk paint
I like painting furniture in
shabby chic whites and I like
creating silky smooth finishes.
Let me share six tips on how I
do this while using a paint brush.
FIXING A HARP AND MIRROR - old hinges
Here is a great use for one of those old hinges we all have in the junk drawer
or filling up a jar on the garage shelf.
REPLACED HINGE ORIGINAL MECHANISM
This mirror's left pivoting mechanism was twisted and broken off making the mirror unusable.
While the owner is looking for a replacement part an old hinge will keep the mirror in place.
The hinge can be used vertically or horizontally but the mirror will not be able to pivot.
HAPPY FIXING

fix something.

VINTAGE HEADBOARD WINDOW - securing it to the wall
When we moved our bed onto an open wall I knew I had to find a great focal point for above that I was going to love. Little did I know so many others were going to like it too and ask so many questions about it.
SMALL CHANGES in the dressing room
For no good reason I pulled a muscle in the back of my shoulder. I'm resting and taking it easy but I can't create so I'm puttering around the house walking stiff like a penguin.

FRENCH ARMOIRE - painting and distressing
It's not a classic French Armoire but it's heavy like one. I'm over joyed to start the new year with something so grand and beautiful but I didn't plan it that way.
