I am back!!!


Wow! Has it really been since May that I have blogged??? Yes...I have been busy and haven't taken the time (really can't find the time) to blog about my pieces I am working on. Now, all excuses aside...I am going to try to blog at least once a week. This is more realistic for me, my business and my family. So, here we go!!!

I am working on a great vintage piece right now. A tall chest of drawers I found sitting all alone in a thrift shop. Venturing away from my favorite style...classic distressed black, I am painting this one a creamy cottage white. A little shabby chic...a little soft, romantic rustic charm! Simply charming and sweet! This would be the cutest in a little girl's room, a grown up girl's room...or even cuter in a laundry room. Store all your cleaning products and laundry stuff in this...you will find yourself wanting to clean all the time...well, maybe!

I have been painting, finishing and listing as fast as I can. Check my website for new things www.thevintagebarn.etsy.com I've been busy!!!

Fabric...Oh, how I love thee!


I just refinished this table for a friend. It was her grandmother's...so sentimental, just in need of a breath of fresh air. So, of course I painted it my favorite, distressed black and revocered her chairs. The fabric my friend chose was just fabulous...vibrant, rich, fun...just fabulous! So, I'm venturing out into the world of reupholstering...and LOVING it!

Back at it!!!


Okay, so I've been busy with a charity fundraiser event...and furniture has taken a back seat! But.......I am done with that, raised a bunch of $$$$$ and now I am back on the yard sale/thrift shop trail. Hunting for my treasures! I buy things, put my touch on them and as fast as I list them in my Etsy shop....poof! they are gone. That's great, I just am trying to keep up. So, I have listed a few new pieces. Check out my Hollywood Regency Bench with Vintage Inspired Ticking Fabric....FABULOUS!!!! I LOVE this...I am secretly hoping it doesn't sell too quick so I can enjoy this at the foot of my bed for a while!

Hope you have a Simply Charming day!
