Darn! Forgot the before picture!!!

Soooo I got another great piece of furniture at Goodwill....I had NO IDEA what I was going to paint on it.  I knew it was going to be black and I painted the gold squares still having not a clue what to do....so downstairs it went until I figured out what to paint.

I went to Cape Cod with friends and in a little shop was a bureau with the words "Always Kiss Me Goodnight" on the 3 drawers of a bureau...........LIGHT BULB....came home and painted my fav prim wording and VOILA.........

I just have to get some antiquing glaze on it and it will be ready for my shop!  I still have TONS to finish up. 

I am in a new location that I absolutly LOVE!!  It is called Mill City in Manchester.  It is in one of the old Mill buildings so it has UBER charm!!  I will post some pics of my space when I can!

SO MANY PIECES SO LITTLE TIME!!!

I just signed up for a new space in Manchester.  I love the Colectors Eye in Stratham BUT it was taking me over 45 min ONE WAY to get there and @$20 in gas each trip!!!  I stopped in at Mill City
http://www.millcitynh.com/index.html  I JUST LOVE THE HUGE CEILINGS AND THE MILL FEEL!!  What a beautiful building!  I can't wait to move in....I have to next week.  So I have to finsh a bunch of my furniture.......remove my inventory from Collectors Eye.......and pack for a week in Cape Cod!!  ALL BEFORE NEXT FRIDAY!!! 

Here are a few pieces I just finished....I picked up this wrought iron lamp/desk at good will and painted folksy sheepies on the top! I saw these sheep on the internet one day and fell in love with their folk art look so I adapted my own:

They are the same sheep I painted on my vintage sewing stand.....

Then I picked up the TOP of a vintage drop leave desk.  I loved it, it was all plain wood and just finished my painting on it. 

And last but not least...ANOTHER SCHOOL DESK!!  I just love these.  By themselves they are adorable but I can hadly get them in such good condition that they DON'T need painting!!!I still have to do some touch ups but it is ALMOST finished!!!   I acutally have another one that I will start but it is just the bench, there is no desk to the next one I will finish.

Now I just have a bunch more to finish up before next week!!!  I better get cracking on them!!

WHERE ARE THE BUMBLE BEES STRIPES???

LOL- just as I was loading my chair into my van....I noticed something about those bees...............WHERE ARE THE STRIPES??  So I have since added their little bumble stripes and will take back to my store over the weekend!!!!   I wonder if anyone else would have picked up on it if I didn't notice it first!!!!

Just a few of my latest treasures ...

I have finally off a few pieces and they are headin' to my shop tomorrow! I have had that old hood milk can light for about 5 years now .......I found it in the basement and just finished it!!

I think I have painted about 6 dry sinks to date!!  I just love them, one of these days I will paint one for myself!!!

Here is a little chair I picked up and finally decided what to paint on it....

and last but not least....I picked this up in goodwill and it had a very UGLY "coffee" painting so I painted over it with my saltboxes.....

now I have to finish these two little treasures I also found in good will....I will post as soon as they are painted!!!  The coffee table will probably have my saltbox/sheep and tree classic...

.......this little table?  Not sure yet!!!

It is old and has a ton of paint on it....it will take a while to strip it down but I loved it!!!  I LOVE GOODWILL for furniture to repaint!!!!

So not only do I like craigslist............but I LOVE goodwill!! I got this vintage sewing stand....decided not to do my saltboxes...........love sheep........so decided to do some folky sheep...I have a few more pieces that are ALMOST done....just got to get painting!!!

Did I mention how much I love craigslist!!! I found this bench and the first thing I thought of was........What a perfect piece to PAINT!!!! It is an old tavern bench......So here are the before, during and after pictures of the bench! This one is going to be hard to part with I have fallen in love with it!! But off to the shop it goes!!!! BTW....when are we going to finsh the floor in this room????  Actually I am glad because I STILL have a place to paint inside with LOTS OF LIGHT!!

Here's the finished blanket chest............

Although I love the saltbox primitive country scene.....I have to start mixing it up a bit more!!

But then again....................people keep buying my painted furniture so I guess I will keep with that !!!
