Headboard shelf...

Hi Everyone!  Things are coming together at the Studio for my Fall Open House and I have a lot of things to share with you.  I turned a couple of headboards from my stash into shelves with pegs like I've made here and here but this time I used a full size headboard and painted it black.

It's not the best picture but it had been rainy when I built it and I haven't had time to take it back outside for a proper photo shoot.

This one and a twin size in white will be available at my Open House next Friday.
Thanks for stopping by.

Getting ready for the next fair...

Hi Everyone!  I know I've been absent lately, but I've been busy getting ready for my big fair in three weeks and my Holiday Open House next month.  I was so busy this weekend that I forgot to take any pictures of things in process.  But I did take some pictures today after I had started priming things last night.

 I finally turned this full size headboard and foot board into a bench and primed it in black.  My plan right now is to paint the top coat in ASCP Graphite or Paris Grey.  Any thoughts?

 This is the base of a backless bench that I primed in black.  I think I'm going to paint it in one of my favorite colors Lagoon and the top stained? maybe?

 I built this twin bench and the boards sitting on it belong to the backless bench base in the previous picture.  I think I'm going to paint it in ASCP Paris Grey.

 I made a decorative ladder out of 1x2's and spindles from a Jenny Lind Crib.  I have primed it brown and I'm paining it in ASCP Old White.

 I made two of these headboard shelves.  I still need to add the pegs to them.  I have primed it in brown and top coat in Heirloom White.  I still need to distress them.

 And my favorite thing I built this weekend, a kid's table.  I see this going to a little girl (because of the turned legs).  I'm going to paint it white.  I primed the legs but had to stop for the night because it was getting dark.

And I made two matching chairs to go with it.  I can't wait to get back out there and finish up all of these pieces.  And in case you think I worked all weekend on these things....I also went to my parents and helped my mom with things for the guest room she's redoing.  I gave her the Paris Grey bench that didn't sell at the last fair for her guest room.  So it was a very productive weekend.  And hopefully this weekend will be equally productive.  Hope you are having a great week.  Thanks for stopping by.

Projects in process...

Hi Everyone!  I have been busy for the last month getting ready for the fair next weekend.  I still have to finish up a bunch of items but here's a little preview of some of the things I've been working on.

I built a twin bench and made a dresser bench (the white piece with the drawer) that I need to upholster and attach the seat like I did here.  I built a headboard shelf with pegs and painted the frame of a window minus the glass that I added chicken wire to, to make a message center.

I turned an antique drawer into a shelf like I did here but this time I painted the interior apple green.  And the big drawer behind it has been turned into a drawer coffee table like I made here.

 I still have to finish the top of the coffee table.

I turned the middle size drawer into a smaller coffee table or side table, more on this one later.

And another headboard shelf with pegs.  I have about 10 other projects that I've been working on but those will have to wait.  I have a lot of work to do this weekend, thank goodness the weather is going to be cooler so I can be out in the shop but we do have thunderstorms in the forecast so that might making painting a little more difficult.  What are your plans for the weekend?  Thanks for stopping by.
