Delivery!

I have to say I've met some really cool people doing Stylish Patina as well as selling Stella & Dot jewelry. It's interesting once I got out of traditional Corporate America I found more people I enjoyed.  I'm sure a big part of it is that I am doing something I enjoy but it's an intersting observation.

So last night I talked my husband into helping me deliver the 3 custom pieces I did for the Del Ray family that is expecting a little boy in a few weeks.  I will hopefully be able to share of few pictures of the nursery with you once they get it set up but for now here are the pics of the two dressers.  "N" the mom really wanted a blue top on the dressers after much debate we did a blue top on one of them:-).  I used Chalk paint - Old White and Loiuse Blue. These are not the best pics but it will give you an idea for now.

Other updates -- I met with a store owner in Old Town Alexandria yesterday and will be doing some picking for her so that's exciting and I have a delivery that needs to go out to Miss Mustard Seed soon, some fab chairs and a sideboard.

I found this pottery barn style table the other day that I am planning on fixing up...if you need one let me know and I'll paint it custom for you! OR if you want it to work on it's yours for $75...come and get it!

That's all for now!

Cheers

New projects, camera and front door!

It's been a busy weekend!  My husband didn't play golf (which is very odd:-) So I had help loading and hauling furniture to the shop on Saturday and then Sunday we did some much needed house projects!

On Friday I was on a mission for frames and basically the 1st place I stopped I hit the jackpot!  Granted they weren't as large as I wanted and I I usually like really this frames but these still fit the bill:-)

I then made them pretty.....

That was the Friday night project....then Saturday morning we headed to the shop and set up in the parkign lot and met some great people and a few repeat customers:-) Here is a pic of Ira (the truck) working hard:-)  Thank goodness for Ira!

On my way home from the shop Saturday afternoon I found a treasure, a tall footstool / small bench.  So this became one of my Sunday projects....I don't have the before (sorry!) just image gross and nasty:-)

And here is "Belle" now...yes I named her.

Since "J" was home Sunday we / he worked on 3 big projects 1-finish off the molding on the inside of our new french door, 2- begin fizxing our ceiling that has water damage from Ice Damns 3-put on the molding to our front door.  I only have a picture of #3 for you but it's def the most interesting:-) Here is the before and after.  We still need to finish it up but HIUGE improvement!  Thank you honey.

So as you know I got a new fancy camera and I am trying to learn how to use it...here are a couple additional pics for fun:-)

I hope you had a great weekend!

Cheers!

Foot stool ReFresh -- headed to Vermont

Good morning!  I mentioned my dear friend is moving to Vermont well before she leaves I refreshed an old vintage stool she had.  It was super easy I just painted it with Old White Chalk Paint, then distressed it and applied 2 coats of furniture wax and voila!

And yes these are more of my flowers from the yard:-).  I'll be in the parking lot at the shop Stifel & Capra in Falls Church again this week if you want to swing by!

Cheers!

Calling all cool shops in NOVA!

Well the store has been really selling stuff for me!  I went in yesterday and two more items had sold so I had to reload again:-)  I also worked on two new pieces that I think are super unique and interesting, they were so much fun to paint.

I am discussion with a couple other shops to see if I can get my hand painted and vintage items in their stores:-)  I need more space...I am looking in the Old Town and Del Ray Alexandria area as well as the Arlington area.  If you have any recommendations or connections to any cool shops in these areas send me an email, Kelly@StylishPatina.com.  They don't need to be antique stores just ideally privately own shops that you think might be interested in having my hand painted and vintage furnishing on display!

Okay now here are the goods:-) Email me if you are interested in them, Kelly@StylishPatina.com.

Here is a picture of the front of Stifel & Capra in Falls Church City!

 And here is the my space with the new items...yes I have refilled twice already!!! And I have been there since July 1st!

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Cheers!

A couple "afters"

Here are few pics of some projects from this weekend.  Today I am going to work on some of the bigger items.  It got sooo hot yesterday!  I used to do Hot Yoga ...yesterday was like 7 hours of hot refreshing!  This is becoming a new business and a work out regiment.  Between loading & unloading the truck and painting in the heat I'm going to be buff! :-)

Okay here is an insiders look:-)  I know I need to learn how to use my camera and get a better staging area...I'll get there I promise! 

All of the new items are on the Stylish Patina Etsy Shop if you interested in buying any of them or you can email me at Kelly@StylishPatina.com.

 

Hope you are having a great 4th!

Cheers!
