Furniture Friday

Take a look at some of our completed projects this week.  Surprisingly we actually had more, but they were rushed off to the store before I got the opportunity to snap a photo.  Still some great ones.  The Moroccan screen is my favorite.

White Coffee Table

So I'm sure yesterday you noticed that my coffee table was now white, or maybe you didn't but it is.
In case you forgot here is what it looked like before.

I absolutely fell in love with the french provincial lines on this table.

Here it is now.

I decided to go white because I recently picked up a black area rug for the room and thought it could use some pop.

I'm thinking of painting the end tables black.  Any options?

Thrifty Steve Madden Pillows

I've got to show you my post recent score.  I  stumbled across these at Ross the other day and YES!!  They had a clearance sticker.  Ok, I take that back actually only 1 had a clearance sticker and the other one had no sticker at all.  I must say I had to do some serious digging to find the second one, but I was excited when I did almost to the point that the jumped in the air raised it and said, "Whoo hoo".  In order to avoid being jumped by security I held it all in.  Aren't you proud of me?

Anyway, here they are... Silvery and shimmery, and at $3.99 each they are virtually child friendly (ie very affordably replaceable).

As you can see, I've still got a lot of furniture to paint, but at least I have some cheap pillows.

Reclaimed Wood Furniture

I am officially on the hunt for a desk/ dining table, because the desk I have now is not making the cut.  In a perfect world I could afford something custom, like out of reclaimed wood.  Better start saving my pennies because all though well worth it those babies are not cheap (ok they are not expensive, the problem is that I am so cheap).  I must say that they are beautiful.

In scouring the internet for an affordable Monica option, I stumbled across these gorgeous pieces from Arbor Exchange, right here in my own town.

Aren't they just beautiful?  

These guys do everything with 100% reclaimed wood and hand built to perfection. So Arbor Exchange if you are out there, what is the discount for a local furniture fanatic like me?  Just saying.....

Our First Antique Store Sale

Well a little excited today. As many of you know, we just started putting some of our things in a local antique mall.  After all the madness of the holidays people are out shopping again and today we had our first sale.  This gorgeous onyx antique table.

So hopefully this is the first of many, as we are growing our business by expanding the kind of things we sell, but you can still get a custom piece.  If you are in the Los Angeles area we welcome you to come visit our space anytime.
