Antique cabinet


Isn't this piece cute.  We were given this by a relative who had it stored in their musty basement.  I didn't snap a before, but trust me, it was brown, boring and dingy.  I knew I needed to brighten her up.


I has a great time playing around with the colours and think it turned out beautifully.  It is certainly much nicer then where it started from.


Antique gray and white


Mr Chuckles and I moved into a new home recently and I had so much fun painting lots of new pieces of furniture for it.  This little antique dresser came with a matching headboard which got a similar look and is in one of the spare rooms.  This one takes pride of place in the master bedroom and it compliments the tufted headboard that Mr Chuckles made with (for) me.


I painted a base coat of white, and then had fun with some gray accenting. I also added these cute turquoise and silver knobs to the top.




Looks perfect under my moms typewriter.  :)

Watercolor French dresser


I have been having a love affair with watercolor over the past few months and have completed several dressers that have a watercolor feel to them.  With this one I went a little more bold using blues and greens, and I just love it.


This piece was originally going into our living room as a couch backer, but I won the most beautiful French armoire at an auction, so this piece has been given the boot.




I added some cream knobs with a gold metal overlay, very chic.



This piece is for sale on my ETSY shop RetiquedByRaeBond
