The Sage Green Armoire
This lovely wee Sage Green Armoire has been sold and has gone to its new home with a very happy new owner.
The Sage Green Hutch Dresser
This is the first Hutch Dresser I completed
and at this stage I am very attached to it
and plan on keeping it!
A view of the top corner....
I love the shapes and lines
of this piece, it lent itself very
well the distressed paint finish.
This piece had lovely handles on it already, although the middle drawer one was missing the ring pull. I managed to purchase one that fitted in well with the others.
The bottom of the hutch has lovely lines too.
The centre top of the Hutch and my matching glass beads on top.
And this is what it looked like before I got my hands (well, paintbrushes,sandpaper and furniture wax!) on it.
The French Cream Hutch Dresser is finished!
I am really pleased to say that the Cream Hutch Dresser/Wall Unit is finished and I have listed it for sale on Trademe today. This has taken me quite a while but I am absolutely thrilled with the result and I must say that it looks lovely in my lounge where I will look after it until it goes to its new home...so far I have resisted loading it up with my treasures....wonder how long that will last!?

Well, hello there!
Welcome to my very first post in my very first blog!
Where do I start? I am Karen and I live in Rangiora, NZ. I have always loved the french country/shabby chic style and for a long (long, long!) time I have dreamt of letting myself loose with a paintbrush and some sandpaper on some furniture. Now I have completed my family (and survived the baby years relatively unscathed!), the time is right for me to get painting! So far I have completed a large shelf, a dressing table, a chest of drawers, a small armoire and a large hutch dresser. I did them all with the intention of keeping them for myself but my friends and family kept saying to me how fantastic they were and that they were sure others would think so too, and convinced me that I should try selling them. So I advertised a couple of pieces on www.trademe.co.nz and within a week they had sold! The feedback from the purchasers was very positive and has inspired me to do more. So, I am loving it....I get to surf on trademe, visit op-shops, garage sales and recycling stores all in the name of 'work'! I get immense joy from transforming unloved out-of-date pieces of furniture into shabby chic treasures...and I get to do it from the comfort of my own home!
