Inspired by her avante garde/punk rock designs, for all you "wannabe's" ... here's an ode to Betsey Johnson.
When I picked this piece up it was that classic yellow french provincial paint with some not so attractive crackle..





 OH SO BETSEY! This piece is painted high gloss black and the drawer details and hardware are hot pink.. Cheetah details on the drawers that all work with perfection!


This bad girl sold to Chris in Seattle... Chris recently made a trip to  the 'Burgh and  told me about Randy Land.. For those of you who don't know.. This is Randy, of Randy Land. (It's in Pittsburgh Historic Mexican War Streets)

Vintage Meditterranean Server

Picked up this MONSTER of a server along with some other neat items from the sweetest couple in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.

Old White and French Linen
I broke out my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and went to work. This paint is a LIFESAVER. No prep, even with the vaneer, no sanding, primer, etc.  Perfect for a City Slicker like me! 


This is after 2 coats of paint.. still some wood showing through but I love the contrast in colors..


I left the hardware it's original bronze and cleaned it up a bit.


Buffed and sealed the piece with Annie Sloan's clear furniture wax.


Tada!!! What a gorgeous piece. You can buy this piece on my website at www.shabbymaggie.com.
