I used a saying that has been reeling in my head recently...."Absence Make the Heart Grow Fonder"....I drew the hearts on, penciled the letters in, then hand painted every last one...UGH! The final stage was distressing it to give it vintage appeal...

So, while I was in project mode, I decided to tackle a project I knew I have been wanting to make for a wedding gift. I got the idea from some window projects I have made in the past. Those can be seen <a href="http://serendipitychicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/paris-chic-window-artone-of-my.html">HERE</a> and <a href="http://serendipitychicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/another-vintage-windowsoap-and-perfume.html">HERE</a>. For this project I was going with a bird theme. I know the bride to be loves vintage and nature, so I knew this would be the perfect combination. Although the project is a bit time consuming. The end result is always worth it!

I used a very shabby pale blue/gray color then distressed everything. The seats were in dire need of new fabric. I used scrap pieces from a drop cloth to accomplish this. Although I knew the transformation would be huge, it exceeded even my own expectations.....

He was at an auction the other day. Unfortunately no one was bidding on the unit, so instead of the bidding going up, it went down and he got the unit for $25. He ended up with some silver, a brand new Coach handbag, and some other miscellaneous. There was a very big dining table in there that they didn't want...So guess who scavenged that baby up!! You've got it....ME!

I chose the colors gray and white because I knew these would match most any decor. I figured the piece could be used in a bedroom or even as a dining buffet to store silver and linens....<br />

But, those are usually the pieces I see the most potential in. Yesterday I found a piece that would work great as either a desk or a vanity...But, naturally it was UGLY!<br />

While I had the white paint out, I decided it was time to paint a sign seeing that I hadn't done one in a while. I used a saying that has personal special meaning to me....I am very happy with the way it turned out....The scrap wood I used distressed perfectly....<br />

Sami is in print......A while back I mentioned going to a fall harvest party at my friend Debra's from <a href="http://capersofthevintagevixens.blogspot.com/2012/03/romantic-prairie-cookbook-flea-market.html">Capers of the Vintage Vixens</a>. Her house is so amazing, that Fifi O'Neill made a second trip back to her home to feature the festival and recipes made by friends and family in her cookbook "The Romantic Prairie Cookbook".....<br />
<br />
Debra's home made 14 pages of the book...Unbelievable! And I am proud to say that my daughter Sami made one of the pages with her homemade chocolate chip cookies...Debra and I purchased our books from Amazon. The book is truly gorgeous and inspirational....Be sure to check out Debra's <a href="http://capersofthevintagevixens.blogspot.com/2012/03/romantic-prairie-cookbook-flea-market.html">blog</a> ...You will be blown away by her gift of decorating with her flea market finds......<br />

I am so sorry it has been so long since I have posted. Life has gotten in the way just a teeny tiny bit, but I hope to be posting more frequently now. Thanks to those of you who have sent me personal emails checking up on me to see where I have been. They meant the world to me....<br />
<br />
So, onto the topic at hand...A plain boring vintage dresser....It was in great condition with excellent bones, but was in the need of a paintbrush and some TLC......<br />
<br />

I chose a very pale gray/blue paint to brighten it up....Then distressed it resulting in perfection.....<br />

I wanted to give it a beachy feel, so I painted it a gray color with a hint of blue to it....It's a color I mixed from other paints I had laying around....Very happy with the outcome...<br />

I don't know why, but it is almost therapeutic for me when I do them. I get to sit in front of my TV or listen to my Ipod while painting. <br />
<br />
Today I painted 3. Don't know what I was thinking when I used the words, BEACH, OCEAN, and GONE FISHING seeing that it is bitter cold here in CT. I guess wishful thinking....Anyway, here they are:<br />

</a>...Well this past fall she had a huge Oktoberfest party...So much fun. Anyway, while there I was lucky enough to meet another amazing blogger...Her name is Dee and her blog is <a href="http://frenchbleuvintage.blogspot.com/">French Bleu Vintage</a>. She creates the most gorgeous stuff. The detail is exquisite. But, that being said, she isn't a big fan of painting furniture. She she left that to me. She brought me an old cabinet that was in some need of cheering up.....<br />

It has been forever since my last post. I have missed everyone. Unfortunately I have some personal issues I have been dealing with since the summer and it has put painting and decorating on the back burner. But, in the long run, my issues are for the better and despite my stresses, I have never been happier....<br />
<br />
That being said, I have a piece of furniture to share with you today...YAY! I found a boring vintage side table at Good will....<br />

<br />
I got a few emails from some of you wondering where I have been...First, thanks so much to those wonderful girls for asking =)<br />
<br />
Many of you may have heard that we got hit by a huge snow storm here in CT on October 29th. The snow was so heavy that power lines and huge trees were down everywhere. You couldn't even get through main roads. It was devastating. Personally I didn't have power for 9 days. Halloween was even cancelled. Can you believe that!!<br />
<br />
I haven't been blogging because I am still trying to clean up my darn yard. I live in the middle of the woods and the yard was unrecognizable. Plus, something is up with my camera SD card and a new one isn't in the budget...LOL!<br />
<br />
I will be back! You can't get rid of me that easily. Hope everyone has a good weekend.<br />
<br />

Both of these items looked brand new when I purchased them...<br />
Abercrombie sweatshirt: $3<br />
Abercrombie denim skirt: $3<br />
Grand total for the outfit: $6...If I bought these two things at Abercrombie, they would easily total $75.....<br />

Now, onto my project that I used Scotch Blue painters tape on. I wanted to do a big project, but unfortunately didn't have time. But, small projects are what most of us are able to tackle today, so thought I'd give some inspiration with a small side table. Here it is all boring and ugly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjiFjFZMs_06M4DaLbgLuRLxmTPY0fe-mxFZl1EwdsvvsRSQ6PuRcSiM-MABuCoLFHi0JYh-z1WhSik7J95zCwNM6yk0SYuNoZFr42TL2kv4MzKnRarRynaFz3N79hNHSmfSZ-NJeCXvPe/s1600/DSCF2870.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjiFjFZMs_06M4DaLbgLuRLxmTPY0fe-mxFZl1EwdsvvsRSQ6PuRcSiM-MABuCoLFHi0JYh-z1WhSik7J95zCwNM6yk0SYuNoZFr42TL2kv4MzKnRarRynaFz3N79hNHSmfSZ-NJeCXvPe/s400/DSCF2870.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The first step I took towards completing this project was to paint the piece my favorite buttercream color.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMW7zk_AhfJdc0jygqdOWdi2I_Dc2HqYnKwtOh-CHQw_BsLHNRQ1dE2hyMZ3TZj3_TbumoWC7RFunboJkqMr60Jzb4BoNS2P4nA-CDSpQ9f4brTp3tz-ito_UsdEGg7C-7mgmQQFGgATo/s1600/DSCF2920.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMW7zk_AhfJdc0jygqdOWdi2I_Dc2HqYnKwtOh-CHQw_BsLHNRQ1dE2hyMZ3TZj3_TbumoWC7RFunboJkqMr60Jzb4BoNS2P4nA-CDSpQ9f4brTp3tz-ito_UsdEGg7C-7mgmQQFGgATo/s400/DSCF2920.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Next I took Scotch Blue tape and "striped" the top. I did not measure out lines like I would have had I been painting a large wall because I knew I wanted this piece to be imperfect and shabby. So I applied the tape by eye only.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicaGs5CUvq31bNJcenXuBCDHBcRUQwdKiJsM7heDu4-QcYbTXj0nsCBKipcxRlsDxavIO5RDA9Fi3zYX_g_5pCWtISC1ngBQAcCVUsoJh9yEsCMcMAQWvcMgIq5jrN6ie7RXAfKwBIyzdE/s1600/DSCF2921.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicaGs5CUvq31bNJcenXuBCDHBcRUQwdKiJsM7heDu4-QcYbTXj0nsCBKipcxRlsDxavIO5RDA9Fi3zYX_g_5pCWtISC1ngBQAcCVUsoJh9yEsCMcMAQWvcMgIq5jrN6ie7RXAfKwBIyzdE/s400/DSCF2921.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Next, for the striping, I chose a gray paint. I wanted this piece to have a beachy cottage appeal. I applied two coats of paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHXd2LFyaUJwRHrI_BPyzCI6KhmfGhJikKhUNMRe7LvYr1C-2CkFpDESQZ0FzgNOLsoz_tJwf9qY-46wR60YYr5n70Mkur2io3YXuDt8_8Z8N4sna8TcTtzFWUReqKhl5kpcepFim6om1P/s1600/DSCF2923.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHXd2LFyaUJwRHrI_BPyzCI6KhmfGhJikKhUNMRe7LvYr1C-2CkFpDESQZ0FzgNOLsoz_tJwf9qY-46wR60YYr5n70Mkur2io3YXuDt8_8Z8N4sna8TcTtzFWUReqKhl5kpcepFim6om1P/s400/DSCF2923.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />

I peeled the tape off while the second coat was still wet. I was so impressed with the fact that there was absolutely no bleed through under the tape.<br />

Once completely dry, I distressed the piece with my palm sander. I was so pleased with the outcome.<br />

Then if something better comes along, you replace it. Well, I am now onto my third coffee table since I think March??<br />
<br />
Here is the first one: (you can see that post <a href="http://serendipitychicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-new-french-chic-coffee-table.html">HERE</a>)<br />

Then there is this one that I got the other day for only $12..<br />
<br />

The problem with it is that it is not a vintage piece and I wasn't sure how well it would look painted. The top was shiny and it weighs more than an elephant even with the drawers out of it. But, I figured it would be the most practical for the kids due to the size and storage space with three drawers.<br />
<br />
Lo and behold, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome and it has replaced the other two....<br />
