A couple of months ago I found the cutest little oak table. It was the perfect size for an entry way table or a vanity table. I am confessing right now, I do not have before pictures of this cute little set. I'm not sure how that keeps happening, but I promise to do better in the future. That being said, here is what I did with it:
I must also apologize for the poor photography. I was on a tight schedule to deliver these. But here it is. I love the curvy legs & petite size. I painted it DIY chalk paint in Duck Egg Blue. Then I used one of my favorite graphics from The Graphics Fairy . Gave it a couple coats of wax & buffed it to perfection.
When it was all done I thought "This needs a chair." Every vanity needs a chair, right? So, luckily I was able to find one at the Flea Market & painted it the same color:
Once again I used a Graphics Fairy graphic on the drop cloth seat cushion. Here they are together:

I really like the way they look together. The post card graphic is so fun to do & it is always a good seller. Especially when it is on a Duck Egg Blue piece. It's one of my favorite combinations. This set is available at V Trading in Grand Blanc, MI.
Do you have a favorite paint color & graphic combination? I'd love to hear about it. Thanks for visiting & have a great day! Dee

Wow, Dee, this turned out great! I will have to get back on Graphics Fairy and find that postcard, I just LOVE! I have wanted to do some transferring for a long time, but can't build up the courage to do it. You have inspired me... did you paint or transfer with citra-solv? Both pieces look FAB!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful Dee!! I love the color and I'm a sucker for drop cloth, so of course I love that on the chair! :) I just found the same image from the Graphics Fairy that I plan to use to make coasters!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! That is one of my favorite Graphics, what transfer method did you use? I'm now a follower
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm just starting to play with transfers from Graphic Fairy - love her site. Used the freezer paper transfer idea and it came out a little smudgy - guess I pressed to hard with the back of the spoon when transferring the image. Thank goodness for sandpaper.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet pairing! and such an inspiring desk to actually write at!
ReplyDeleteI love that image - I've just spent some time on Graphics Fairy trying to locate the post card image and can't. Do you know specifically what it's called? Great vanity!
