Beat Up Petite End Table Rescued...

This Small Vintage End Table has the perfect lines and designs!  Unfortunately it was quite beat up and had it's fair share of water rings.  Thankfully for me the previous owners did not own any coasters and this little beauty ended up at my house!  I knew as soon as I saw this piece that she had a lot of potential!

Lots of Rings from Drinking Glasses and other Water Marks as Well!

 I love the Fluted Design on the three legs and all the other design details on this piece!

And who does not love a Petite Round Table?  Perfect size, shape and design!

She was so pretty I had to pick a unique color for her!

I primed the table and painted her in Valspar Brushed Orange.  This is a nice Pale Orange and once I lightly sanded the piece and distressed it the color was more of a Peach Hue.  A perfect accent piece to bring color in a small way to any room! 

 You just cannot find quality pieces of furniture like this anymore!

 The top is lightly distressed but in a good way now!

She is one of many Shabby Chic pieces at Eclectic Chic at Heritage Square Antique Mall in Booth G021

Heritage Square is located at 1865 Brice Rd in Reynoldsburg, Ohio

I Am in Love....

I am in love with this Vintage China Cabinet!!  However it was not love at first sight.

Before Photo:

I was hesitant to buy the piece as it is on the smaller side but would be perfect for a small room or an apartment. 

I primed the piece as seen below but still was not crazy about the china cabinet.  Below are photos of it primed:

I love that it has drawers on the bottom half instead of a cabinet.  Most pieces like this have the doors on the bottom half and I prefer drawers for storage instead.

It also has fantastic details such as the floral carvings and the fluted design along the legs. 

I painted it with a top coat of Milk Honey paint which is an Off White Paint and perfect for this piece!

I lightly distressed the Cabinet and fell in love with it immediately!  It was exactly what this piece needed to make it extra special!  The floral carvings and the fluting and the molding around the top just popped with the distressing!

I thought about keeping this piece as I just painted my living room a few days ago and thought the color of this piece would look stunning on these walls!  Unfortunately I had no room for it without replacing pieces I have owned for many years and I am not ready to part with yet.

She is now available in Booth G021 at Heritage Square Antique Mall in Reynoldsburg, Ohio

   She looks beautiful with all the small  pretties displayed inside!

The details and the original hardware make this piece!

She is priced to sell as I just picked up a Fabulous Vintage Dresser with Matching Wall Mirror, Tempered Glass Top and Matching Night Stand.  I am anxious to get started on them and get them to the mall!  Stop by and take a look at all three of my booths...G021, C096 and J08. 

Thanks!

Grandma's Rocker...

In my last post I shared a Shabby Chic Bed makeover that I recently completed for a client.  You can see the bed in a photo below and read the last blog to learn more about the bed.  
In addition to the bed my client also had me transform her Grandma's Rocking Chair:

I started by removing the upholstery.  I then primed the piece and painted it with Sherwin Williams Antique White Paint. 

Once the piece was dry I lightly distressed the arms, legs and back.  I then applied a coat of clear wax.

My client has someone she has used in the past to reupholster items.  Since this has springs and needed them to be restrung we decided to let a professional reupholster handle this job! 

She absolutely loves her Grandma's Rocker and it is now in the Nursery awaiting the arrival of the new baby!  How exciting!  I am sure this new family will be using this rocker for years to come!

I have many other fabulous transformations to share with you and look forward to writing many more blogs!  Thanks!

Client's Heirloom Bed Transformation...

A client of mine contacted me about painting some pieces of furniture for her including a Vintage Bed and Rocking Chair that belonged to her Grandma.  I will share both transformations with you but will start with the bed....it is my favorite of the two!

This bed is a full size bed with arched headboard and curved footboard!  Wow!  Perfectly Shabby Chic!  The bed has many nice details including it's shape, floral carvings, original casters, a lovely floral design and of course cherished memories!  My client wanted to update the bed and lighten the color so she could use it in a guest bedroom. 


The Bed before:

The Headboard had some great floral designs and carved details.

The footboard was Fabulous!  It was curved and also had the floral design and carvings!

I primed and painted both pieces and they already looked much better!  I hated loosing the original Floral design but it was well worth it once the bed was completed!

The headboard primed:

The footboard primed:

Top Coats Done in Sherwin Williams AntiqueWhite Paint:

They look quite nice already but with some light distressing with a sanding block around the details and the carvings the bed went from quite nice to Stunning!  Once the distressing was done a clear coat of wax was applied.

With all the fabulous details highlighted with the distressing it was okay that the two floral designs were painted over.  The wonderful carvings now being prominent made up for the loss of the artwork!

My Client Loved the Bed and was so Excited to take it home and put it in her Guest Room!

Up Next...Grandma's Rocker....

Let Me Introduce Myself and My Booths....

I am so excited about starting this blog!  I love furniture and interior design and would love to share ideas, my pieces that are avaialble and some of the incredible transformations I have completed.  We have three booths at Heritage Square Antique Mall and have been there for about a year and half.  The three booths we have are G021, C096 and J08.

These three booths have very different looks most of the time thus the name Eclectic Chic!  No matter your taste in furniture you are bound to find something in one of our booths to appeal to your taste and design style!

G021 is at the front of the mall and is strictly a Shabby Cottage Chic style.  Perfect for a Beach Cottage, French Apartment design, or just easy care free living!!  I love to restyle Vintage and Antique Furniture to breathe new life into them!  I love to experiment with colors and always have a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from in this booth!

C096 is on Avenue D is right down from my G021 space.  C096 has a wide variety of styles and design tastes.  This booth tends to change so please make sure to always stop by and see what is available!  Currently it has some Mid Century Modern pieces and Vintage Pieces.  Plus a fabulous Industrial Chic Grocery Metal Shelf full of vintage Kitchenware!  Last month C096 was a Shabby Chic Dining Room!  What is next I am not sure yet!

J08 is around the corner from C096 towards the North side of the store on the center aisle.  This is a great small booth that definitely has an Eclectic mix of items!  Shabby Chic to Traditional to Primitives and More!  This booth is always changing as well and I have some ideas for a new look when I get some time!  I will definitely share this with you when the time comes!

Heritage Square Antique Mall is the perfect destination for a fabulous shopping experience!  You could literally spend hours looking at all the items offered in this large mall!  They are located at 1865 Brice Rd in Reynoldsburg, Ohio at the corner of Brice Rd and Livingston Ave.  Just a few blocks off of I70 at the Brice Rd North exit.  They are open Monday thru Thursday 10 to 6, Friday and Saturday 10 to 9 and Sunday 12 to 6.  They even offer lay away!  Stop by and make a day of it and enjoy the Air Conditioned store on these hot summer days!

Have a great day!  I am off to the pool with 3 of our 5 children.  My 6 year old son has a birthday party to attend and he is so excited!
