BALLERINA DRESSER - graphic transfer
The Graphics Fairy had a playful ballerina graphic I wanted to put on a piece of furniture and this is the finished product.
THE FARMHOUSE MERCANTILE CABINET - butcher paper graphic transfer
There are a lot of different transfer
methods available on-line but this
article I wrote is all about how I was able to get the right sized words
transferred onto raw wood. Keep
reading to find out what font I used.
THE FARMHOUSE MERCANTILE CABINET - white washed finish
This cabinet was a donated piece
of furniture, but when dropped off
it was in a few parts. It had lived a
good long life and the owner wanted
it to keep going, so I started rebuilding
her.
MINI CLOSET REVEAL - graphic transfer
Our good friends at Brick and Mortar Living asked if I wanted to try using their butcher paper for a graphic transfer project. I was happy to try it out.
ANNIE SLOAN & THE PAINTED LEATHER CHAIR
That title sounds a little
like an adventure novel
if you ask me and the
story does have it's ups
and downs.
and downs.
BOUDOIR CORSET DRESSER
I started applying a graphic to an antique tall boy dresser last week.
After many hours of the smell of sharpie markers I have finished.
NOTE:
this project is for an advance DIYer
I found the graphic at OLD DESIGN SHOP:
and I used a box of a dozen sharpie markers to fill in the image.
Transfer methods can be found here
Read through the list of 12 options to find the method that will work best for you and your project.
Here is a look at the dresser before I started.
I ended up printing this image on 8 sheets of landscape paper (side ways), 2 across and 4 down.
You can use http://www.blockposters.com/ to divide your image up, I definitely recommend it.
Here is a close up showing what it looks like after waxing and sanding the image.

A SHIPPING THEMED GRAPHIC STORAGE BENCH
I find hand painting details very relaxing. I enjoy the quiet time inside my head.
And every now and then I go way over board painting a piece.
This storage bench is painted in a creamy white mix of AS Pure White and Old White. The graphics
are all hand painted with black acrylic paint and a small artists brush. I`ve taken some photos of the
steps I took to get the warn look over the letters and hope to share that with you soon.
I used a lot of symbols found on shipping envelops and crates.
If you come across a storage box like this look for the secret button that you push to unlatch the lid.
At first I thought it was locked, nope just push the button.
USING DARK WAX TO AGE A FINISH - royal crest cabinet
TAKING THE ORDINARY AND MAKING IT EXTRAORDINARY.
I would really like to do this again some day on another piece.
COOKIES AND CREAM - numbered chest
I'm working on several new furniture pieces for the upcoming Christmas Craft & Gift show,
and this numbered chest is one of them.
I have nicknamed it the COOKIES & CREAM CHEST because of the colors used.
The dark top and trim is a rich chocolate color.
and the hardware is painted to match.

HOW FAR DOES ANNIE SLOAN GO - red dresser
After the hustle and bustle of working with my Chair for Charity, getting it to the photographer early, and George's accident and ER visit, I have finally finished one of the dressers I previously started. Isn't this color amazing, the knobs made me do it! I have been wanting to show you how far Annie Sloan Chalk Paint can really go.
