Before and After: Tree of Life Dresser


BEFORE:
Actually this is after priming, it was beat up wood originally.  It is a very nice sturdy piece.



AFTER:
This was a three step painting process.  After priming it got two coats of vibrant red.


Introducing:  The Tree of Life:
A sponge off effect with a gorgeous Aubergine gave this piece it's final paint effect.
A Gustav Klimt print over the large bottom drawers made it even more unique and special.This is a unisex piece that could appeal to most any one looking for a piece with personality.
A true center point for many rooms: Bedroom, entryway, guestroom, office, etc etc...

Ideas For DIY Garden Art

Image
These dead trees have burned in patterns. I think this is so amazing! A beautiful succulent topiary lady. This one cracks me up! An old window and some dollar store beads and voila, a shimmering wall hanging. These mosaic columns are made from pvc piping scraps.  Pretty awesome! Got glass?  Now here is a cool reuse, make garden totems. Adorable little gnome house. A bundle of sticks make the base of these simple Zen looking pillars. Love the wabi sabiness of these! Save those lids and caps from your recycling and make a cute owl.  So simple. If you have a bunch of old hardware, bottle caps, hub caps, metal scraps, etc you too can make this fence or wall decoration. STAY GROOVY - Kelly

Barn Mural Revealed

Image
My huge white barn got the royal makeover these past couple of days when my girlfriend came to visit and help me with this massive project. My gal pal hard at work!  She even provided some of the exterior paint.... She rocks! We tried a bit of shading but it just didn't look good.  We ended up covering it up and going with simple clean lines. My bestie, Kelly O.  She worked her ass off and enjoyed every minute of it... Maybe it was the beer! Side angle view. The rest of the white will get a coat of tan to match the house trim. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  It turned out better than I thought it would! Thanks to Kelly, not many people would spend their short vacation painting barns for friends, she is amazing and talented.  I love love love the new look!!!!
