We have been very busy working on some of the wood furniture that we have been collecting for awhile now. We have all kinds of wood items around these are just a few that we chose. This to the left is a child's table and two chairs that as you will see in the pictures below I tried to show each wood piece we did as a step by step process. This picture of the table is just a sneak peak to what's below.
We had a lot of fun with each piece we did ... the only hard part of it was trying to decide on colors and then on the pattern and design layout.but we finally did decide.
We came across this blue which is called spa blue and it's a really soft old fashion looking blue, so that is the color we went with. Then it was all about what to paint on each one. So for the first window we did we did it in sunflowers and buds. With these windows they can be used as just a wall decoration or you can put a picture mat on each of the windows and make a picture frame out of it, so it would hold 6 pictures. I will make one and post some pictures of it. 
 Yes and here is the table it started out as all plain wood then it was painted in the spa blue and deep pink. I had thought about it and thought about what I wanted to do with the top of the table, came up with all kinds of things I wanted to do, But after much contemplating I came up with the idea of putting the alphabet around the table after it is a child's table |
So OK we went with the alphabet but what to put in the middle of the table ... then it hit me ..a big light bulb in the head moment " a chalk board " yep we painted a chalkboard in the middle that is what the very top picture has it's actually the finished table !! I put some colored chalk with it and a chalk eraser. What do you think ??
These four pictures here are the two chairs that we painted to match the table.
This is another one of the shelf's, it's about 4 foot long with three cut out hearts and four pegs to hang anything you would like on them, It's also painted in the spa blue then it's hand painted with wild roses and buds with some purple wisteria and lots of green leaves. All items have been sealed with many of polyurethane. We took another old wooden window frame painted it the same blue then put the wild rose's and buds, wisteria, well just about the same pattern that I did on the shelf is what was done on the window. It has two hangers on the back so it can be hung anywhere it to can be very easily made into a picture frame for 6 large pictures or maybe a lot of small ones. Let you imagination go wild !

These are all the finished furniture pieces, I had my sons put them out on the lawn so I could take some pictures before we loaded them all up to take over to Shabby Lane in hopes that they are all liked and bought ! Oh I almost forgot I also painted that round black table with the sunflowers on it .
