Yesterday afternoon I worked on sanding & washing some furniture. I also painted a few pieces. At the end of the day I put everything away and just had to take a photo. I think I'm turning into a bit of a pack rat or maybe I'm nesting ... with Winter looming ahead I always try to stock pile furniture so I have enough to get through the season. Well, as you can see, I'm busting at the seams. And the scary part is, I'll still be out this week buying more!!!
I'm in the process of redoing this chair. I love fabrics and am always thrilled to find a neat looking piece that could use some paint and new fabric.
I work on an "assembly line" as I paint ... sand a bunch of pieces, paint them, distress them ... These are all works in progress waiting to be distressed.
LOVE this piece ... a server with a built in shelf and drop leaves on both sides. It has a huge drawer with neat detail and great hardware.
Finally ... a little decorating tip. Everyone is using unusual pieces in unusual places ... I bought this window grate to "decorate" my fireplace during the Spring & Summer. Unfortunately, it kind of got lost in there and I didn't like the way it looked so to plan B ... I hung it outside next to my navy blue back door. I think it works.Thanks for visiting ...

Jennifer,
You go girl! I would love to visit your shop someday. Thanks for sharing your process, I always thought that you did one piece at a time as you found it. But I can see you are much bigger that! Just love it!

Hi Jennifer,
I always enjoyed visiting your blog. Thank you for showing us the work in progress photos! It's so amazing to see how you work. I like the assembly line idea, you have a neat wonderful process. I think it's a good strategy to stock up on the furniture too!
