Just For You

Sold!
Thanks Jessica:)
This little cutie patootie is the perfect twin bed. Its a touch vintage, but the color brings it right up to date. Painted black, it would really work well with a fun, tailored boy spread; or it could be the perfect balance to a fluffy, frilly girly spread. You've gotta love versatility:) And the best part is I'm offering the option of customization! (If that wasn't a word before, it is now) The lucky buyer will get to pick the perfect finishing touches. Like it clean and classic? I'll just add some polyurethane for depth and protection. A glaze like this will really bring out the detail. Some distressing will give it that awesome shabby chicness we've all come to love. You decide!
Another option for a custom touch is this great raised panel:

It's practically begging for an initial or a maybe a shiny metal number. A number may sound strange, but I've seen some awesome stuff accessorized with things like pewter house numbers. For instance, if this was going to be for my little Mr. Three, a pewter 3 would be such a cute, modern touch to this bed.
The Details:
The bed is solid wood and includes a headboard, foot board (exactly the same as the headboard) and side rails. It fits a twin mattress and box springs and measures 31 1/2" high.
$125 OBO and you pick the final look

Jaci's Rug

My super cute sister-in-law Jaci knows a good thing when she sees it and wanted a canvas rug :) Just kidding. She agreed to become my guinea pig so I could try something new. Silly, brave girl! Her gorgeous black table is square, so a rectangular rug wasn't ideal. Plus in order to get the width to fit the table and chairs the length was too big for the space. This conundrum was actually a blessing in disguise because it forced us to to get a bigger canvas which we cut and hemmed to exactly fit the dining set in the room. Hello, can you say custom? Just kidding again:) And it created leftover canvas to make smaller coordinating rugs!! Jaci's kitchen has adorable red accents, so she wanted something that would compliment that. I wanted it to be a big, bold graphic that would be unique. So this flower is what we came up with. I can't take credit for the pattern, I took it from a piece of wrapping paper I've been saving that I just knew would come in handy someday...
I love it under the table, so Jaci, I hope you do too! And the best part, don't forget, it can be swept and mopped! Hallelujah! This would be awesome in other colors and it really got my mind spinning with possibilities for other patterns and graphics-what about one huge number or letter? Or a huge piece of damask? Or...
PS-Someone also hinted to me the other day that canvas rugs would also work really well on a deck or patio. What a great idea!

PPS-When shopping for a rug pad to attach to the bottom of this, I came across the coolest stuff-rug tape. It's tacky on both side and sticks your rug to any floor surface without damage. Its a very cool trick. Just so you know.

Lattice Desk

Sold!
Thank You Sunnie!
This sweet desk is such a fun, one of a kind find! When I saw it, I knew the lattice panels on the drawer fronts were destined for stardom.And how, you ask, can this little desk become even more fabulous and fun? With a secret shot of turquoise inside every newly painted drawer. Because who doesn't love a good secret?The Lattice Desk is finished in cream with an umber glaze and has just a little bit of distressing sealed in with poly. It has six perfectly working drawers (the bottom two handles on each side are one large drawer). It measures 50"wide x 24"deep x 30" tall.
$135

(It also just happens to perfectly match the finish of the ever-fabulous Numbered Chairs! Love them? They were posted at $100/pair, but for you, I'd be willing to make a deal-call me and lets talk:)

If I Had a Little Girl...

Sold!
Thanks Jill :)
This twin headboard is adorable! It's finished bright white with my favorite moss green peeking through the distressing. Just enough color yet still neutral enough to go with anything. It has to be said again: adorable! It measures 50" tall x 45.5" at its widest point.
$75

How cute would this headboard be with that 6 red table as a nightstand? I'm just saying...

Numbered Chairs and End Table

Sold!
Thanks to Mitsy, who got a steal of a deal on all three pieces!
The tomato-red table is adorable. It's solid wood with turned legs and two levels. It has an umber glaze and measures 24" h x 23" in diameter. Provides the perfect pop of color in any room. You've got to see this one in person!
$60


These lovely ladies are fabulous with a capital F! They're finished in a creamy white called High Country Milk (don't you love that name?) with an umber glaze and moderate distressing. The seats are covered in simple tan cotton and feature numerals 1 and 2-my favorite part.

In her previous life, Lovely Lady #2 sustained some trauma and was fixed. While she is very stable, she still bears the scars. I think they just add to her loveliness and charm. However, because of said trauma and scarring, I am asking just $100 for the pair! rather than $120:)

Love all three pieces together? Me too! They create the prefect conversation area in your living room, office, bedroom, or family room. $145 for the whole group
