I was sent some powdered milk paint by The Real Milk Paint Co., and I was so excited to jump in and give milk paint a try for myself after hearing some rave reviews from my fellow professional furniture painters.

Quick Turnaround Kidney Bean Side Table
The Junkrestore Vintage Market Sale this past weekend was a big success for everyone involved and was tons of fun! There were a couple of big items that had a lot of blog buzz around them that I was really hopeful would sell, but sadly didn’t, namely the Damask Dresser and the Chevron Dresser. Both of these great pieces are still available, so contact me if you are interested in them. I got to meet a lot of great people, and even had some shop talk with other great furniture refinishers. … [Read more...] about Quick Turnaround Kidney Bean Side Table

A Custom Set for an Eclectic Salon
Sorry I’ve been MIA again. Last week was a whirlwind, which carried into this week, and I’m just now getting my stuff together enough to post. Saturday the 17th, Cara and I set up for our first try at a big furniture sale. We set up at a community wide yard sale day in a large, local subdivision. It was a gorgeous day. We were excited. But the crickets chirped, we had few visitors, and didn’t make a single sale. I was about ready to throw in the towel. How can we keep doing this if no … [Read more...] about A Custom Set for an Eclectic Salon
