Surprise Birthday Gift for a Friend!!

I called this a "MIDNIGHT MIRACLE" because I started this yesterday afternoon for a Birthday Gift TODAY!

Having done this process before & knowing how it was going to turn out I was able to complete all the paint & artwork in just a few hours.  Now I'm waiting for the Top-Coat Varnish to dry for Transport this Afternoon!

I debated about putting the extra time & effort in the polka-dots underneath thinking no one would see them anyway ...until I took this photo from underneath looking UP!

This was an Old Childhood desk.  It now has a new life to be presented today for a Special Surprise Birthday Gift!!
A pretty surprise when drawers are opened with Dotted sides!  My signature distressed Stripe & Polka-Dot Legs!  Metallic Gold Trims the edge of the Table Top!

Decoupaged Drawer Fronts with Vintage Look Paper.  I also went through my Hardware-Morgue & found 2 Matching Antique Pulls that looked great on this piece.

A Light Breeze outside will Hopefully Dry the Varnish Quicker Today!



I found PICMONKEY.COM and am able to create neat collages of my work to post on Facebook and other places I feature my items to sell.  It's easy to use & helps organize many shots & angles of an item in ONE pic rather than having to download several. 

The "EDWARD SCISSORHANDS" Table

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS Table
I used to sew Frankensteins Lips & stitch xx's for Eyes when I was an Old Sewing Table!
But Look at me NOW!!
Just $225
at Frou Frou Galore in OLD TOWN SPRING.  We accept Credit Cards & we also have Layaway!  You can also Find, & LIKE Houston Faux on Facebook!

The old Heavy insides that held the sewing machine were removed.  The solid wood side that flips over as a workstation was retrofitted to be the new top for this Cutie Table.  Fun Knobs were added.  The curved front allows for a chair.. after-all it was a an old sewing table so it was made to sit at!  Add your own mirror for an instant Primp & Make-up station!

Nothing Fancy! So you can see the Pretty Color!
If you had seen this table before, I did change the name from the "Beetlejuice" Table to "EDWARD ScissorHANDS". More fitting, considering it was an old Sewing Table.

Fun with Polka Dots!

I've been working in some more vibrant colors and having a little fun being creative.

I had an old brass chandelier that came out of one of these track homes around here along with some "ho-hum" plain old windsor chairs. 

Take a look at what I did and enjoy the magic!

The 3 Chairs are $85 each & the Chandelier is $160
All of these items are available at my new Shop called
Frou Frou Galore in Old Town Spring!
It's a Crafters MarketPlace so it's chock-full of talent from all the people that create & sell their things.
I wouldn't have known about this place if it weren't for a fellow blogger & person who appreciates all things homemade at
Farmhouse Porch, thanks! Lindsey.
