PURE OAK Antique Project

I traded this piece from a Lady few months ago, this Pure Oak five drawers chest belonged to her dad and was in original condition!
My heart melted with this antique chest!
I sanded very well and didn't need any repair!
I kept the top to show the amazing Oak's purity....
The original hardware, incredible in perfect condition, I washed very well and polished
On the back found the label "Factory No. 2" Larkin Co. Buffalo, NY and I knew its origin, therefore I knew how special this piece is...
I prepared my own chalk paint recipe from Benjamin Moore left over can, in a beautiful Country Blue
Turned out beautifully, authentic, majestic....

Hope you fall in love with it... Thankful, Jacqueline

Still have a lot to learn about the market here, very different than Virginia...
Fascinating hunting for old pieces of furniture....
Great finds.....
New painting techniques....
Many projects.... and ....the most important...
Great People....

Decorating with Vintage Horses

It is trendy to choose a Horse as a piece of decoration?  

If we look back in time, and if we take a look around today, I should say YES !

Has been used as a traditional piece, but today you find them everywhere...

During my delicate task of hunting, these little guys crossed my path...

Old Toys, Solid Wood, Beautiful Lines...

Old Times...

They were in need of love and care...

That's what I gave them!

Now you have a "Trendy Piece of Decoration"

Now you have a Vintage Horse that looks awesome at your home!!

Hope you fall in love with it... Thankful, Jacqueline

HOME OWNERS

Has been an exciting and very emotive time of my life!

My husband and I bought a house here in Ashby, Massachusetts! 

We are so proud, very very happy! 

We are enjoying our new home very much with our son and all the snow is up here!

We moved the day before Christmas! yes CRAZY!  My son had little time to hang the ornaments on the beautiful Christmas Tree the formers home owners left set up for us, lovely detail!

It is a country farm house and has all we were dreaming for a long time and more...

Crossing the street is a huge lake ...  a reservoir ....  all surrounded by forest... just beautiful!

In a few days I'm planning come back to work on my furniture. I have plenty space to set up my workshop and start moving brushes, sand papers and tools!!!

Here is some pictures of our home...

Hope you fall in love with it... Thankful, Jacqueline

Cities Around The World

This project becomes a fave!!

Lots of dedication but Fun! And turned out beautifully, young and unique...

I got this piece in a hunting with my mom few weeks ago when she was visiting us!

Ahhh I miss you mom!...

We were hunting, buying, selling, crafting, talking, shopping, and more talking and was great!!

Mom! you will not recognize this guy!

It is a Highboy! Solid Pine and yes!! Solid!!

Just a hint of its previous life...

I had many ideas to flip this piece, and at the end I remembered the "Cities Around The World" project that never used!

I love the industrial touch, the color combination is crazy! green, gray, black and chocolate hardware....

And I think, not, I believe looks Fabulous!

I picture this chest in a young bedroom or at the end of a hallway.... in a family room.... or in a play room...... Oh Gosh it is awesome!! 

Hope you fall in love with it... Thankful, Jacqueline
