Makeover Monday: Green & Gold

April 7, 2014 Rachel 9 Comments

It’s Makeover Monday again! 
Before I get to today’s furniture reveal, I just thought I’d apologize for not posting on Friday! 
What a whirlwind weekend I had! My plans for photographing my booth for Vintage Market Days before Friday were derailed by some crazy weather on Thursday night. Like tornados and floods crazy. Earlier in the day I was interviewed by our local news channel about Vintage Market Days and they showed a quick bit of our booth. You can see it here:
This dresser was a crowd favorite at VMD. It sold on Saturday morning.

We did so many furniture photo shoots before the fair that there weren’t many that I spent much time setting up a vignette. Except for this green one.
I got that gorgeous, somewhat tattered, quilt on Etsy. I wanted a picnic quilt (colorful but not too spendy) and it is perfect! 
I also found this beautiful typewriter that I brought to VMD. It was touched by nearly every child that attended, I swear!
Antibes by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is the color. It never fails to impress. Especially with those original brass knobs!
This one required so much work on the drawer glides, but it was worth it. Such a beautiful, simple shape, with charming details. 

Come back on Wednesday for a recap of VMD and LOTS of eye candy!

    I have to say that I was so thrilled to see you at VMD this weekend! I’ve been admiring your work at Chesterfield Mall as well as on craigslist but I never put it all together until I saw the name on your business card at the show. Then I realized, that’s the “Rachel” I’ve been putting in the search field on craigslist for months! You have beautiful pieces and it inspires me to want to paint myself. But, I don’t know where you find the time with 3 kids at home! I only have 2 and I never have time for any projects that I’d love to start!
