I've been inspired by this
old farm table:
and these cute chippy chairs!
Inspired to re-do my studio.
I'm so excited! I think this is, um, the 3rd or 4th time
I've "re-done" my room. But I think this is the best yet. :)
I spent a good chunk of my weekend
bouncing around from my studio to the garage...
Painting, sanding, & antiquing.
I've tried painting lil' things before, frames & such,
and I have always hated the outcome.
But this time, I was determined to do better.
So, I lurked Karla's blog until I found some instructions.
And I turned this unattractive set
into something I could live with.
It's not the best. But, I'm happy with it.
Esp. since its my first piece of furniture to paint.
I still have some work to do (in my room)
but I'm hoping to be done soon.
Until then, here's a little peek.
I hope you like it as much I as do! :)
hugs, Joanna
Its a beautiful redo! What a difference a can of paint makes.

Gosh this is so gorgeous!!! Oh how I would love to redo my room! I painted it and put it together WAY before I even knew what I loved! You've inspired me! :-)
