The Hollywood Starlett Tables

No we haven't fallen off the face of the planet although you may think we have.   I realized that moving out-of-state and being in a state of limbo do not go hand in hand.  Let me explain.  So I'm living with Elaine right now because our place will not be ready until mid October (Can't wait til everyone see's it).  We had a moving fiasco and our movers were a month late so I haven't had a whole lot of stuff (including a computer).  Elaine and I have been fighting over one computer for a month now.  Well the movers finally came, so I officially have a computer.  Don't worry, not a whole lot of stuff has gone on this past week anyway,  because it was over 100 degrees all last week in Southern California and surprisingly humid.  Paint and humidity do not work well together, so Elaine and I decided to shop instead.  Oh!!  and get a well deserved pedicure on Friday.  Now we've got a whole lot of pieces ready for our magic.

Here is one that we did a week before the humidity.  They are vintage side tables we picked up from a couple who we bought a dresser from, and they belonged to his grandmother.  The finish was a little rough so we decided to paint them.  Elaine had this awesome vintage Hollywood Regency fabric that needed a home, so we decoupaged it onto the drawers.  I love how the two-tone paint came out.  I think Elaine did a fab job on the decoupage.  The birds are  super cute.

Grey and cream is a wonderful combination

  2. Melanie...ooooh! A vintage trailer. I've always wanted one. I am imagining cabinet drawer fronts decoupaged. How cute would that be? Good luck with you projects. Send us pics when finished.
