fab find friday: lutyens bench
If you’ve ever admired an English country garden, chances are you’ve seen a Lutyens garden bench, named after famed architect Edward Lutyen. I’ve seen this bench in drop dead gorgeous landscapes for a while now and I absolutely love it – the curved back and rolled arms make for a beautiful focal point for a…

before + after: queen anne-style end tables
My wonderful client scored these two Queen Anne-style end tables at a garage sale a few years ago, and since they are going in the master bedroom of this gorgeous home, it was time to give them a much-needed facelift. We picked this beauty to hang over the bed and the client requested that the…

go with the gray
Ever since posting this gray pedestal table, I’ve received a few requests to replicate the finish-most recently for this curvy console table. It had been painted a number of times, but it’s made out of some weird synthetic material so stripping it was out of the question and sanding only revealed more cracked layers. So,…

whitewashed table
Last year, I posted about how to get a cerused oak or “limed” finish, as it’s more popularly referred to. It’s a beautiful way to add a weathered, aged look to a piece of furniture while still preserving the integrity of the wood. It’s one of my favorite ways to transform furniture, so when a…

luxe for less: kooboo dining chair
I have been in LOVE with these Provence wicker chairs from Restoration hardware ever since I first saw them in the catalog last year. They would look amazing around my table, but at $455 PER CHAIR, they were WAY out of my league. A girl can dream, right? (And drool all over them in the…

fab find friday: bamboo desk
Estate sales can be hit or miss-sometimes you find a treasure trove of goodies while other times, you just end up sorting through piles and piles of junk. I’ve not had much luck at the last three estate sales I attended, but then one day, on a whim, I stopped at one down the street…

french gray
One of my absolute favorite things about refinishing furniture is transforming something older, perhaps a little unloved, into something beautiful and timeless. While the prep work is never fun, it’s worth the time, effort and elbow grease, to give an old, ugly piece new life. This oak dining table was no exception. When I first…

DIY: repainting barstools
These stools have been sitting in my kitchen for the last month or so, waiting for me to find the time to bring them up to speed, paint-wise, with the rest of our home. I am so grateful that business is booming that I don’t mind that provisions to my own home have taken a…
