Antique Antibes Green Dresser

This Fun and whimsical piece is being delivered to my client today.  It goes along with the green and pink headboard I posted a few weeks ago.  

 

  The original hardware was the perfect style for the piece already so I just painted it.  We didn't want to draw too much attention to the hardware and take away from the beauty of the furniture.   

These pictures don't really do this piece justice:)  It is so gorgeous in person!!!  It is distressed around the edges to showcase its beautiful detail and the dark wood coming thru makes my heart skip a beat.  My client has promised to let me take pictures of her guest room when its all done.  I will be sure to share! 

This is it for me til after the holidays!  I have been super busy and now I am going to finish shopping, wrapping, baking and packing.  I am going to enjoy every minute with my crazy family and I hope you do the same!  East Street Design has lots in store for the month of January.  I can't wait to share all of the exciting things going on.  

Have a wonderful Holiday and Happy New Year!!!!

Meet Rosie

This is Rosie.  I found her looking kind of sad one day.

  She got a whole new look and she is feeling good! 

I hand painted her with Duck Egg Blue chalk paint.  She is imperfectly distressed with sweet glass knobs. 

The inside of her drawers are painted with Paris Grey and are lined with a fun green damask fabric.

Rosie is ready for a new home!

She is lovely and would be a perfect addition to use as a desk, a dressing table, nightstand or wherever your heart desires.

Measurement 40"L x 19.5"D x 30.5"H

Have a good weekend!

"Bye-Bye, Helen!"

Each time I find a piece of furniture, we immediately become connected.  I spend a lot of time with them, we become bonded, the piece and me.  Each one has its own personality, each one touches me in a unique way, you might laugh(or you'll assume its the paint fumes getting to me), but they talk to me.  And I always listen.

And like any other living thing that is in my life, they need a name.  Of course, I love some more than others...and with some I struggle to even say good-bye.  That's how it was with Helen.  This lovely vintage chest came into my life-I discovered her long lost beauty and adored everything about her.  She conviently found the perfect spot in my dining room and I am certain she was very comfortable there.  The longer time went by, the more attached to her I became.  I put her picture on my Website Shop and knew that if no one wanted her, that we would have been content together for years to come.  But, alas, Helen's beauty was noticed by others and she was swept into a new home this week.  And although I know she will be very happy in her new loving home, I can't help but miss her just a little.   

This week I have been working on an old desk.  Make sure to check back in a few days for before and after pictures!

Going Green

     I am usually a blue kinda girl.  I LOVE all shades of blue.  If you walk in my front door you are sure to know that.  Of course I throw in other colors to keep it real, but you get my point.  Well...things are changing!  A client of mine is redecorating a guest bedroom and she called me to help.  It will be a place you never want to leave!  She has chosen a color scheme of green and pink and I am personally in love...   

This was a very old, antique full size headboard from her Grandmother.  It went from drab to fab!!!

 

I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Antibes Green and mixed up my own perfect shade of pink.  This is the first piece for the room.  More to come later.  

   

I absolutely LOVED this color so very much that I had to do a piece of my own to sell.  I found this stylish little cherry pedastal table at an anitque shop one fine day.

She is still waiting for a name but she will be up for sale soon.

Hope you enjoyed my version of "Going Green"
