Sharing some great furniture makeovers from our last workshop…

Beach Glass

Lightly sanding surface to smooth out tiny paint bubbles

Shizzle Troubleshooting Tip:  My best guess as to why this particular piece developed little bubbles is because multiple layers of paint were applied over an initial coat that hadn’t completely dried on this super hot, humid day.  The humidity was off the charts.  In those conditions, it takes paint longer to dry.  It’s best to make sure each layer is completely dry prior to applying additional coats because  the moisture can get trapped between the paint and the existing surface, especially if the surface is a non-porous surface  such as this piece which was a faux wood type veneer.  To remedy the tiny bubbles, we use a blow dryer on a low setting to speed up the drying process.  As the paint dried, the bubbles pretty much went away.  There were still some tiny bumps which bugged me so we simply sanded them out by gently using fine grit sand paper.

Knick of Time Interiors – Knick of Time Tuesday

Three years ago today, my sister Cathy and I launched our painted furniture business at Holland’s Art in the Park.  

It was August, 2011.  I keep thinking it’s been four years (the brain doesn’t function quite like it used to!).

We are so very thankful for where God has led us since and can’t believe the changes that have occurred over these past three years.  I woke up this morning welcoming the new day.  I was excited to go to work because we’re doing some really cool pieces right now (stay tuned).

but even more than that, I’m really excited to go shopping at this year’s Art in the Park.  I can’t WAIT!!  It will always have a special place in my heart!  LOVE this show!!  I wanted to share with any of you new followers with how we started and possibly inspire you to push yourselves beyond your comfort zones.  You never know what will happen!

August 2, 2011 I vividly remember the lady telling me they had never been rained out…

Shizzle Design Booth at Holland’s Art in the Park, 2011

If you look behind our tents, you can see the other “experienced” vendors tarping their tents because it was POURING!

We finished this vintage desk and chair the night before the show!

The pigeon hole cubbies were perfect for organizing clutter.  It also featured a cool shelf underneath for storing books…   I decoupaged the top with vintage looking paper.  And… of course, I solicited my sister Cathy to custom line the drawer with fabric for that unexpected surprise.

My sister Cathy and I had worked for months preparing for Art in the Park

We had absolutely no idea how we would do.

Neither one of us has the highest self esteem

but that day proved to be a a true blessing

Despite us being brand new and the lousy weather, we sold…

this French Provincial Coffee Table – it was first to go

 Shoppers started gathering

under our tent

as the rain continued to

flood the park.

My Venetian Bronze faux finished Candelier was 2nd to go and we were off and running!!

 It looked so pretty hanging under our gazebo.  I need to do another one for my back yard!

The pink gooney bird mosaic chair planter went home with a lovely lady who made time to dress up as a princess  with her beautiful granddaughter.  How awesome is that!  This was one hip grandmother!!

We also sold oodles of cup and saucer bird feeders, candle holders & yard stakes!

We also sold EVERYTHING in the picture BELOW ~ Wahoo!!  less packing!!

I know, I know, I know… It’s been forever since I’ve posted any furniture renovations.  For everyone who’s been asking, I didn’t fall off the edge of the earth, though I did fall a hundred times last month while portaging canoes through steep, rocky portages in the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota.  I’ll share much more on that trip soon.

Ever since school’s let out, it’s been a whirl wind of activities at the Andrade ohana, everything from VBS to Mission Trips to a much needed family vacation in northern Michigan.  I’ve got a ton of projects to share with you, there just aren’t enough hours in a day to get them all posted.  Having sacrificed so much valuable time with my family over the past four years, I’ve vowed to straighten out my priorities and put my family first this summer.  I’ve also been dealing with excruciating pain which is limiting how much I can get done each day.  Sorry if I’ve disappointing anyone but these posts take me hours to put together and I  need to focus my free time on my kids before they’re grown up and out of the house.

 Gooseberry Falls State Park, MN

I’m back to work now trying to re-adjust to reality after being completely unplugged for a week.  It’s tough, but I’m slowly re-adjusting.  I seriously could be a permanent vacationer.  It’s what I do best!  If I could figure out a way to roll vacation into my job I would so if any of you have ideas for me, please let me know!!

So back to furniture…  It dawned on me when I watched this buffet walk out the door last week that I had never written a blog post on how I painted it.  It’s been a while now, so I’ll do the best I can to remember the details of how I did it.

It was a beautiful Basset piece in excellent condition when I picked it up.  I paid a little more money to get it but I knew it would be a winner with such great lines.

Before

___________________________________________________________________

Make sure your piece is thoroughly cleaned and de-greased

PRIOR TO PAINTING

It is a crucial step for a quality finish on any type of paint job

___________________________________________________________________

For as long as I remember, I’ve used TSP to clean things prior to painting.  It works great but Tri-Sodium phosphate is a strong chemical. It can cause problems if you accidentally swallow, breathe in, or spill large amounts of it on your skin. While I’ve cleared out other toxins from my work environment, I still continued to use TSP in our cabinet until recently when I discovered how awesome American Paint Company’s all natural cleaner worked.

Cathy tried APC’s Surface Prep Cleaner before I did and she was blown away with how great works.  She also has Lupus and must be very careful of what she exposes her hands to.  American Paint Company’s Surface Prep / Brush Cleaner is sold in concentrate so you only need a tiny bit of it to make a whole pail of cleaner.  It’s a fantastic de-greaser, will remove years of oils, residue and furniture polish and is all natural!  It also works miracles on cleaning brushes, cups and any other paint supplies.  I can’t get over how such a small amount of cleaner in a pail of water can clean so many brushes after a workshop.  It’s a pretty cool product and I’m ashamed it’s taken me so long to try it.

American Paint Company’s Surface Prep / Brush Cleaner

Ok, enough about cleaning ~ lets get to the fun part.  For the base, I mixed American Paint Company’s Freedom Road with Wild Horses to create my own color; no guys ~ I didn’t measure.  I don’t think I ever have.  I paint like I cook, ‘cuz that’s how I roll.  It’s easy like that.  Doesn’t have to be perfection, just go with what you like.  Sometimes I used Lincoln’s Hat, Sometimes Freedom Road, Sometimes a little bit of both.

Freedom Road + Wild Horses

The top had some marks and dark spots so I decided to some texture on the top.

Since I love the contrast of a darker, more textured top with a silky smooth base, I used a 4″ wide short bristled brush and stippled a custom mix of Lincoln’s Hat and Wild Horses in random directions.  I love that American Paint Company Paints can be manipulated in so many different ways.  The clay in their chalk and clay paint allows for so many different possibilities.  I sealed the top with American Paint Company’s Dark Wax, the best dark wax EVA!!!  I can’t find the picture that I shot of it and this buffet has already sold, but it was pretty much the same as the top I did on a recent set of French provincial dressers here.

I created the same type of textured finish on the top of this Set of French Provincial Dressers

I honestly can’t remember which colors I painted the insides of the cabinet and side panels, but I think it was a random mix of Home Plate, Rushmore and Smoke Signal.  Knowing me, I most likely did a wash of Desert Cactus over it and I do remember pouncing American Grit into the clear wax while it was still wet on those lighter areas.  For the rest of the base, I pounced black mica into the clear wax while it was wet.  To be honest, it was a bit tricky to see how much black I was applying.  You know how the wax makes the paint appear darker when it’s wet?  Well, when my gray paint was darker, the black mica was really hard to detect.  I had to wait until it dried overnight to see exactly how it turned out.

Applying Black Mica Powder to the Clear Wax

I could tell where I had started and where I had ended because it gradually got darker and darker.  All I had to do to blend it in was take some clear wax with a clean brush and work some of it away.   This method re-activates the wax so that you can manipulate it, in my case, I wanted to remove some of the black.  You can also do this if you ever end up with too much dark wax in an area.  After evening it all out, I painted the inside with Home Plate, sealing the inside of the cabinet with Topcoat.  In the midst of everything else going on, I lost all my edited pictures on my computer so I’m using what I could find.

Finished Buffet

Hope you enjoyed this transformation.  If you’d like to do a similar finish, here’s what you’ll want to pick up.  You won’t use the whole quart for a piece this size, but I listed a quart if I felt you would need more than a sample size pot.  Use your judgement based on the size of piece you’re going to paint.

• Lincoln’s Hat (sample)
• Wild Horses (quart)
• Freedom Road (quart)
• Home Plate (quart)
• Rushmore (sample)
• Clear Wax (can)
• Dark Wax (sample)
• Topcoat
• Surface Prep / Brush Cleaner

Wahoo!!

Funky Junk Interiors – Saturday Night Special

Silver Pennies – Silver Pennies Sundays

Knick of Time Interiors – Knick of Time Tuesday

I’ve been blessed with awesome friendships throughout my life.   Some I’ve had since Kindergarten and others I’ve just met recently through the love of painting.  Anastasia is one of my dearest friends, and though it seems like we’ve known each other a lifetime, it’s only been a few years.  She is one of the coolest, most thoughtful, fun and hips girls I know.  LOVE this girl!

Anastasia has a bon fire pit at the back of her property.  At night, you can see when you’re near the house because of the lights on the deck.  You can also see when you’re at the bon fire from the light of the fire, but when you’re about halfway across, you can’t see squat!  She’s needed a light in the middle of their yard for years but didn’t have any outlets that far back.  That’s when the light bulb went off in her head, no pun intended ~ lol!

Anastasia wanted to join us for a workshop so she could make her dream a reality but she needed to find a light fixture.  As luck would have it, she found THE perfect chandelier minutes before class.  She was so excited and couldn’t wait to create a light for their backyard.  As she walked into our Furniture Painting Workshop, she was beaming from ear to ear.  In her hand was one whimsical twirly-whirly brass chandelier.   Never fear, she had a vision!

To convert a wired light fixture into a solar light, you’ll have to remove the existing lights. There’s usually a bolt that holds them in place which can easily be removed with a pair of pliers. Once you get them lose, you’ll notice they’re dangling by the wires.  Cut them with bolt cutters, wire cutters or whatever else you can find that has one of those sharp cutters on it.  I can’t remember which tool I handed Anastasia, but she had the lights off in no time.   I like to pull the wires tight when I cut them.  When you let go, they’ll retract out of sight.  You won’t need them (unless you plan to re-use the fixture after you paint it in your dining room).  I typically tuck any remaining wires inside to avoid disassembling the entire light fixture.

With those out of the way, all you need to do is decide what you’d like to use for light.   I’ve always used candles which are awesome for creating a romantic outdoor lighting but miss smarty pants came up with the perfect solution for her back yard dilemma.

She picked up five inexpensive solar stake lights.  You can find them pretty much anywhere for a buck or two.  Guess what, they fit perfectly!  She tried them both with and without the stakes to see which looked better and decided on without.

With the lights and wires gone, it was ready for the makeover.  She painted directly over the brass with American Paint Company’s Peacock from the Ellis Collection.

American Paint Company’s Chalk & Clay paint has superior adhesion so you can skip sanding and priming ~ even with metal!  This light fixture is no exception.

Just Imagine the possibilities!

Anastasia also used American Paint Company’s Home Turf, Momma’s Lipstick, Bordello and Shoreline.

Everything was sealed with three coats of American Paint Company’s Topcoat.

Because of the particular design of her light, she was also able to make it into a planter.  How cool is that!!

One of these nights, I’m going to get over to check it out!  So…. is your brain churning with ideas now??  Go find yourself a light fixture, you might even have one in your garage and transform it into something new!!
