Got To Love Supportive Friends!

Where is a girl to begin??  I will start by saying that my husband is oh so helpful and supportive but this is not about him(I will get to you another day honey).  This is about friends! 

I originally sat around with 4 of my girlfriends telling them my business idea about a year ago.  I knew what I thought but God how I loved the supportive hand I was given when they heard.  If I had one ounce of doubt before that conversation I did NOT after it!  Thank you girls(you know who you are)!!

I live in a sweet little Village a few miles East of Downtown Cincinnati called Mariemont.  Its 1 square mile radius with about 3,000 residents.  We walk our kids to school(or drive if we are lazy) because we don't have buses.  Our kids come home for lunch whenever they want.  And everyone is your neighbor.  Its not for everyone but its for me!  As I quietly started telling my neighbors about my venture I was overwhelmed with the support I immediately began to receive!  I can't possibly list all the neighbors that believed in me only because they knew me not because they saw my portfolio!  I have had old sorority sister's contact me that I have not talked to in 15 years.  The support of loving friends old and new, far and close has been oh so gracious, uplifting and so apprecitated!  I thank you ALL dearly!!!!!!!

I am running smoothly on the furniture end but still getting the hang of this blogging thing.  I am not the most creative writer(if you can't tell) and my spelling and grammar stinks. I am trying!  I am horrible at the before/after thing and need to give more details of the process.  This I vow to get better at.  Today I am just going to show some of the things I have worked on the past week or so.  Sometimes I get so excited to deliver it I forget to get pictures.  Ooops!  

This is a very old and very unique antique serving cart. I took the casters off and the wooden back ledge it had to make it more versatile.  It was painted a medium grey, ASCP in French Linen .  This piece is actually at the store in Milford for sale~ no longer available.

Its much more beautiful in person so stop in and see!

This is an old library table with lovely carved detailed.  Done for a 4 time returning client and friend. 

Painted in ASCP Old White and distressed to bring out all the details.  Love this piece!

This is a cute little nightstand done for a little girls room.  The perfect amount of fun color to add to the room!

I painted it in ASCP Provence and added white ceramic rose knobs.

This is the before picture of a piece I am finishing up.  I picked this piece up at a Good Will store.

A little peek at how its turning out!  More to come later.   

Thanks to all and let me know if your looking for something specific.
