We got so much done today! I was able to finish 3 small end tables, a chest, and a tiered wire basket. Now that we are starting to complete more and more projects, I can really start picturing how our booth will come together. I can't wait until we get everything in there and displayed.

My favorite piece of furniture is probably this mint table. I love all the curves and the subtle mint color. It wouldn't be complete without all the distressed finishes.



This robin's egg blue chest is another one that I'm really pleased with. I really like the painted hardware with the worn edges. The light wood showing through adds a lot of brightness to the chest. It looks kind of beachy - and will be a great display to put some linens in. Our booth will have plenty of vintage linens including tablecloths, runners, doilies, and pillow cases.



This grey end table is Cody's favorite. He wanted to keep it at the house but we really don't have a space for it. It is a really heavy piece that has a door on the front for extra storage. I chose a dark brown paint for the hardware to complement the natural color of the wood underneath. 



The antiqued yellow tiered stand is another great find! I loved the shape to the piece so much, but couldn't leave it the metal color as it looked too new and wouldn't work with the rest of the items. I dry brushed it a vintage yellow color so it will contrast nicely against doilies that I will display in it.




This final table is a classic shabby chic piece. I painted it an off white and lightly distressed the edges so the natural wood pulled through. I didn't get too crazy with distressing the chalk paint - I wanted this piece to be simple yet elegant. The two tiers to this table along with the curves give it enough character on its own, so I wanted a classic color.



I'm so excited to finally be sharing some finished pieces! My next journey is a hutch that I'm refinishing in the off white color. There were glass doors on the hutch but I removed them and will be putting chicken wire in place instead. It will be the perfect country furnishing to display all sorts of decor.
