Happy Monday 🌼

The last few weekends have been house projects. Things you plan all winter the minute the weather breaks. The garden has been rebuilt, the new trellis, and we painted the rest of the new siding put on last fall this weekend. The next big project is a privacy fence but my energy isn't there for it yet. Allen partially tore both of his hamstrings (darn sons football game) so I want him to relax a bit the next few weeks. Despite the soreness and huge bruising, he still keeps going and hasn't taken a day off.

Back to furniture today. The weather is amazing and I'm eager to work in it.

Enjoy the day!! 🌞

"Fablewood Mauve"

While not a color that is typical to my style, its lovely. I said it. Pink, red, purples are not me but I decided to branch out a little and challenge myself. It's just paint, I know that, but leaving your comfort zone can be a huge challenge. My mind doesn't work in girly colors, my daughter is quite the opposite. I play it safe and use colors that are soothing to my eyes and style and can be used with any color scheme.

So here is my take on "granny core" that is sweeping the trends. Thankfully I found hardware that I swear was meant to be after the twice delivered shipment of broken hardware. The floral k***s match the drawer liner (I guess I under measured despite never doing that before) perfectly. A little whimsy that is not to heavy.

This piece is solid wood but more vintage than antique. Dove tails are on the backside of the drawers. We made sure all the drawer tracks work well and attached new backing to the entire piece.

So there you have it. What do you think? Would grandma be proud? 😉 How cute would this be in a nursery, a dressing room, a glow up room, anywhere!

PS...this color is more rosy that peachy. If I edit the photos it looks awful and washed out. This is in daylight.

Reveal day!

I hope you all had a nice weekend. It rained most of the weekend here and yesterday was a mad dash to get the outdoor projects going. We actually joked Saturday felt like fall. Not cool!!

I need a bit to get good pictures. This morning light doesn't help me. I'm very excited about this piece. Hurdles didn't keep me from finishing it AND its better than I originally planned. The hardware matches perfectly!!

The look is complete!

I'll reveal at noon 😉 This beauty is available.

...and to top it all off yesterday I ran out of drawer liner. I needed enough for 1 more drawer. I just laughed. What else am I going to do? Today I am on the hunt for hardware. I will find something beautiful!

Here is a sneak peek 😉 Have a great Friday!
