Two toned or not to tone?

We purchased this hutch and it had a great story which made it an even better deal. I had a vision of  two toned beauty with natural wood and white paint.

Here it is with some wood stained doors and wood stained top and the rest painted white. When I posted this for sale I received the comment that it didn't look finished and  I should paint the doors. Well I gave in and painted the doors, if I were to keep this hutch for me it would stay just the way it is in this picture but it wasn't to be mine and the doors received a fresh coat of white paint and it sold the very next day, which after all was the goal.

 P.S. I still like the wood doors :)

Before After Ornate Buffet

Picked up this buffet for $30 bucks-yep thats right! It had great bones and I knew it was going to be amazing!

Before-During-After Antique Buffet

I purchased this lovely antique buffet a few months ago. I knew it could be lovely and I was right! Check out the after photo (Courtest of the buyer Big Day Vintage Wedding Rentals)

Classy yet nuetral

 When I bought this lovely dresser visions of paint colors danced in my head. Should she be blue or maybe grey? I couldn't quite decide....then late one night it came to me, it needs to be white BUT with a twist. I have updated this curvy beauty with white and beige paint. I love it! Truly a classy yet neutral piece. I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out.

Fall Porch Chair

Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of year. Living in Utah you get to really experience all of the seasons and fall is just beautiful with the leaves changing fiery colors and of course decorating for fall! This year I took an old chair I had on the patio out back and turned into a shabby porch chair. The first color I painted it was a creamy white, like this:

 I then added bright green to the little bends in the wood-then when that dried I painted over that with a great reddish orange color. I also painted the detailed part around the chair green. As it was heavily distressed the underneath green and cream shown thru it. I love how it looks!

Antique door turned chalk board

 A sweet friend gave me an old door. I am the worst and remembering to take before pictures, sorry!
I slapped some oops paint I purchased from Home Depot. Chalk in the middle and new hardware for flare-distressed and ta da! New chalk board :)
