Must Haves!

Just a quick hello tonight things have been crazy between the real job, my Stylish Patina day to day stuff and getting ready for the Tag Sale this weekend.  Of course I keep finding things to buy that need to be refreshed!  Ughhh!  Then I ran out of chalk paint which required a trip to Lucketts to On A Whim which is the only place you can buy Annie Sloan chalk paint!  (Seriously I need to just be a distributor!).  I got there and they were still out of Old White BUT the stockist was sweet enough to mail me two pints :-)

I ended up having a wonderful conversation with the owner Donna and I might have gotten a new "picking" client out of it!  More to come on that but exciting stuff! 

So my blog tonight is about the top things I think are "must haves" if you are going to refresh furniture at home (the easy way)! #1 my mom gave me the insight on and I use it ALL the time (thanks mom!).

#1 Howard Restore a Finish - You would be AMAZED at what a little but of this rubbed on with some extra fine steel wool will do for an old piece of furniture it makes it look beautiful!  Scratches disappear!

#2 Howard Feed-N-Wax - Also just wonderful for adding sine and luster to old items.  This smells better than the restore a finish so if there are no really deep scratched just use this.

#3 Decent paint brushes - I bought Purdy Brand ones from Home Depot.  They are not quite top of the line but I have seen a big difference.

#4 Professional Grade Sand Paper - 80, 150, 220 of the grits I usually use.  I have an auto sander but find I still do most of my distressing by hand it's one of the parts I love.  I just sucked it up and bought a large pack of each b/c I kept going back to Home Depot.

That's it for now!  Have a great night :-)

Add a lil' Patina in your life!

Almost there!

Good Morning!  I am headed out the door to a meeting with my consulting client but just had to post a few pics of my projects from yesterday...they will be finished up tonight no matter how long it takes me from 5pm on it's all Stylish Patina :-)

This might be a contender for my fav chair it turned out amazing!  I did it to go with the little desk I have.  They are both done in chalk paint Duck egg color.

This is going to be beautiful when it's done:-)  Hand painted in Paris Grey Chalk Paint.  The gold is original :-)

This is an adorable little side table.  The exterior is Louis Blue chalk paint and the inside is Paris Grey to add a little dimension.

This is the night stand to the dresser.  Also done in Paris Grey.  It has not been distressed yet but will be wonderful when completed!

Have a wonderful Monday! I'm off to work:-)

Kelly, Ms. Patina

A glimps inside if the Tag Sale June 24/25!

I will put up a real post tomorrow but couldn't wait to share these finished projects:-)  Thank you to my husband for all his help with the power stapler...who knew re doing seat cushions could test a marriage and take up so much time!  Off to paint a dresser for the tag sale:-)  Lots to do!  Hope you can make it to the tag sale...details HERE.

This is my all time favorite chair!!!!  My feelings will not be hurt if it does not sell:-) Yes all seats are Serena & Lily...love them.

Happy Fathers Day! 

Kelly, Ms. Patina!

Some great finds today!!

Just a quick glimps of a few of my MANY find from shopping today...lets just say I made multiple trips home for "drop off" today and event used Ira at one point. Below are pics of a few of my favorite larger items.. a couple of these I have already started to work on so you will see before & after pics in the next couple of days:-)  I did get some great smaller things too but you'll have to wait until the tag sale to see all of those:-)

My parents are in upstate NY for the summer and I got a call from mom today saying that dad had found a few sales for them to got o for me:-)  How cute is that!  Watch out NY :-)

Okay here are the "goods". This is an amazing old frame & in the back round is a gorgeous cherry dresser/buffet (I'm sure my mom will call and correct me).  Actually I think it's a serving buffet b/c it has a small top that pulls out.  This is usually not my style but it was in such great shape and the lady was so sweet so what happens I end up with TWO of them!  It was a great deal:-)

This was a total last minute find and I just love it!  It is on wheels which I adore, total bonus:-)

Now these two might be my favorite finds of all...totally not everyone's taste but I love them.  The mirror vintage and SUPER heavy, I don't know if I can part with this one:-)  And the chair I just though was so unique and interesting.  It is already in the middle of being painted.  It will still hold much of it patina with a very distressed vintage look and a fresh Serena & Lily seat:-)Yes that's me in the mirror taking the picture, scary!

Just had the customer pick up my enamel table today so here is her replacement.  This little guy needs a lot of help but I love an enamel table top:-)  And the mirror is another awesome heavy old mirror.

Adore this little table and the frenchy side table.  I have the dresser to match but need to pick it up:-) Each your heart out!

 Here is another picture of the other cherry buffet, remember I have TWO!  If you want one email me:-) Kelly@StylishPatina.com.  yes can you see how FULL my garage is:-)

That's it for now..stay tuned for some previews of completed projects for the tag sale and remember you can always see the full inventory at my Stylish Patina Etsy Store or on our Stylish Patina Facebook page.

Enjoy!
