A Super Cute Chair, A Super Cute Table

This Super Cute Chair with pillow in Gray makes me want to start over and re-do my entire house. I love it that much. I mentioned this to my husband. Got the husband eye roll. But seriously, what's not to love? Refinished in super chic gray with a little distressing.
Seat and coordinating 17" x 17" pillow. Gorg.


$50

The Super Cute Table in pink. Awesomely super cute. It is distressed and glazed in mocha and would definitely leave its mark in any room. Obviously a little girl's room. But what an unexpected pop in the living or family room! (Which is where I had it set up. Again. Super Cute.) Measures 22" h x 21" w

$30


-Make it a Combo Meal for $70

$50!!!!

Hello! Thats like getting the table for free!

Sold!

Thanks for stopping by and have a Great Day!





Back Again. Seriously This Time

So I realize that last post in which I blatantly claimed to be Back was nearly one year ago. Geesh. Shortly after said post I began the Year of The Very Long Pregancy. It started with me being sick sick sick so I thought I would die and ended with a little more sickness and a two-months-early beautiful baby girl who lived in the NICU for a little while. Fast forward a little and we are now both healthy and happy. So I am really truly back with a long list of projects and a long list of excitement!

My sweetest Baby Z who made every little second of the past 10 or so months completely worth it:)

Hey! After a much needed break, I'm Back in Black! Well, today I'm wearing red, but whatever. Isn't there just something about putting away the Holiday decorations that makes you want to start fresh in your house? It seems to highlight all the places that bug me because they just need 'something'. And then the juices start to flow and I get all antsy and projecty. Love it. Especially those few times when the reality even slightly matches the vision. I have a few things left that didn't sell over the holidays, one being the vintgage door-turned entry station. Quite a few people expressed interest and commented that they really liked the look, but were worried a big heavy door would possibly fall and squash their little ones. Well, yes , I think we would all agree squashing would be bad. But the door is so great. So I hightailed myself down to the hardware store and asked the very nice man the best way to attach a super heavy solid wood door to the wall. And bless his heart, he answered me without even blinking.He gave us several options and we chose the easiet- simply being to drill right through the door into the studs in the wall. We (meaning Tyler) found the studs, predrilled four holes in the door-two near the top and two near the bottom, and used some black wood screws to hang the door on the studs. I didn't mind going right through the door because a) the screws were black and you really can't see them if you don't know where to look, and b) it's a distressed, chippy door and you really can't hurt it. So just for future reference, this door is offically hung on my wall and isn't going anywhere. I could hang just about anything on it. And believe me, if the Geldmachers can safely hang this, then anyone can:) Although I change things around so much the idea of something never going anywhere makes me slightly nervous... For now, it's helping me take up some space on a huge blank wall. Until something different tickles my fancy. Don't tell Tyler. Holes in the wall can always be fixed, right?

As for that stuff that hasn't yet sold? Take a peek and give me a call! I'd love to wheel and deal and make room for more great stuff!

Posh Poppy Update

-Edited April 27, 2011-
This buffet is still one of my favorite projects, and I wanted to share it.  I wish wish wish that I had taken mulitple and better and  pictures of it. What was I thinking? Oh well, lesson learned:)  I painted it as part of a boutique that I participated in a while ago.  Please disregard the boutique info. The buffett now lives in the super cute salon of my even cuter friend.  Maybe I'll go take a better picture there.  But for now I'm linking it to the Primitive and Proper Piece of Work Wednesday party.




-Original Post-
The Posh Poppy boutique is happening right now! Ok, so its not happening right now anymore. But, thanks to the lovely snow last weekend, I've still got some great stuff available with-this is the best part-reduced prices! Here's a little taste of the inventory from The Fine House Please don't mind the unstaged pictures. Sometimes life (read: my kids) has to take priority:):

The Jazzy buffet with hutch is probably the most fun thing I've done so far! Her subtle zebra stripes bring to mind the phase "Be still, my heart". She's a smaller buffet with modern lines, three functioning drawers, and two cupboards. She even has grooves for plates to stand. I can see her working in almost every room of the house: awesomely in a kitchen where a bigger piece of furniture wouldn't fit; as the cutest bookcase ever in a living room; as an entry piece with bonus places to put keys, mail and gloves; as freestanding storage in a bathroom (oooo!); or so adorable in a little kid's room I can't even stand it!
 Edited again: Back then I didn't have my sweet baby girl.  I would completely DIE to have it for her room now :)
Sold!
Thanks Lindsey! I love your salon!




The Corsage blanket chest also makes my heart skip a little beat. It's a smaller Lane Cedar Chest (I forgot to take the measurements of stuff before I dripped it all off...) with a natural-colored light canvas upholstered seat featuring three fabric flowers. It's been refinished in delicate pink with dark green peeking through.
Reduced!!! $100
Sold

Gotta love a good chalkboard. Super cute as well as functional. A fancy frame finished in antique white with mocha glaze. (The dresser and best lamp ever are unfortunately not for sale. The belong in the model home where Posh Poppy is taking place.)

I have to admit, a pretty chair with an upholstered seat just does something for me. So many places it can go! This is a pair of matching chairs with cane backs finished in black and heavily distressed . Natural-colored canvas makes the cushy seat ready any scrumptious pillow.
$45 each or $80 gets you two:)
Both Chairs Sold!

Gertie is living her second life as the girl whom no one can take their eyes from! A large mirror refinished in bright green with a mocha glaze to tone it down a little and some distressing makes her the perfect addition as a fun bathroom mirror, in an entry over a table, in a bedroom, over a desk, you name it and she'll send it over the top!
Reduced to $50!!!
Sold!


And you might remember the vintage door Entry Station from this post. Still super cute! And to answer a few questions, yes. This can be safely hung in the studs of a wall to make a sleek, shabfabulas entry station!

You haven't missed the event yet! The Posh Poppy will be going strong through tomorrow, Saturday Nov. 14 until 6pm. Click here for directions and more info.

Posh Poppy

Exciting news alert! My two fabulous friends, Jessica and Candice, are starting a new boutique/art show called Posh Poppy. Woohoo! A cute new boutique! Thats what I said. Because my secret dream for when I grow up is to have my own shop someday, I decided to be brave and ask if I could put some furniture in their first show to get my feet wet. They graciously allowed me to be a vendor. I don't think I've ever been a vendor before! The Fine House, Vendor. Has a nice ring to it, no? The first show will be held Friday and Saturday November 13th & 14th from 10am to 6pm in a beautiful model home in Salem. Over the next little while I'll be previewing some of the stuff I'm getting ready to take, such as this little sweetie pie:I've affectionately named her Frenchy. She's got storage, she's got style and she makes a statement!I've got lots of stuff in store (if I can get it all ready...) Big stuff, little stuff and inbetween stuff. So mark the weekend of Nov. 13-14 on your calendar and come check out the The Fine House at Posh Poppy!
Sold!
Thanks Aunt Paige:)

A Cute Girl's Dresser :)

My adorable friend asked me to redo her dresser and night stand. Here is a before of the awesome, solid wood pieces. Notice the used-to-be awesome flowers:
She wanted an antique white finish with glaze and distressing. This is what she got:


As aways, I feel like the pictures don't do the furniture justice. The glaze and distressing don't show up a ton in them, but I really thought they turned out beautifully. I used a gloss poly to give them some sparkle, which I like a lot with a distressed piece. She wanted to pick out some new hardware and I can't wait to see a picture with it, hint hint!








Thanks Rachelle and Cody! I hope you love it!

And A Cherry on Top

Sold!
The red and white Cherry Table is all fun and smiles. It positively oozes happiness! The pedestal table is finished in white with a shabby black rub through and lots of distressing. It measures 42" in diameter and is 30" tall. It comes with four solid wood chairs refinished in cherry red, also with a black rub through. The true funness of this set makes an appearance on every chair seat, where the numbers 1-4 are hand painted, just for a little somethin' extra.





The size of the Cherry Table makes it perfect for a breakfast nook, but I also think it would make the best ever game table! In fact people, had I a finished basement with a family room and/or playroom Cherry would not be for sale. When I look at her I have warm fuzzy visions of Monopoly and craft projects and maybe even a little homework...so I am officially passing the vision on to you in the form of an awesome deal!
$150
makes her your very own happy:)
