It's a Boy!!



Of my my closest friends daughter is having a baby boy! Naturally, for the shower, I wanted to do a baby changing table that would fit with her blue, animal themed bedroom.

I picked up a vintage bedroom set at an estate sale in Canonsburg, PA that was in desperate need of some updating. When I look for a dresser for a babies room, I want to make sure the piece is at least 31 inches high and has a good width to it so there is enough room for a changer topper to sit. This old heirloom fit the bill perfectly.



With a good sanding, some primer and a couple coats of paint, we were off to the races! I hand painted the detail in the upper drawers a nice white and sprayed the hardware lightly to allow some of the original bronze to poke through. The piece turned out soft, whimsical and sweet and I am so excited for baby Luke's arrival!




Here's Jess... at 7 month's pregger she is still so tiny! Baby Luke is due mid-march. Jess got the dresser home and say's it's perfect, and that is what make's this business so rewarding.

No Bad JUJU Arm Chairs

I picked up these forgotten about French arm chairs --- They were in great shape just needed some TLC.



 A little elbow grease, some fresh paint and new fabric (there's something about birds that I really like..)



These chairs SOLD

French Provincial Dresser & Night Stand

I found these old relics and purchased them from a lovely couple, downsizing and moving to Florida. When I snagged them up I knew I would be going... GLAM!

I sold these dressers to a great couple from Hoboken, NJ. If you are interested in purchasing some GLAMMED OUT silver furniture check my site http://www.shabbymaggie.com/ or send me an email shabbymaggie@gmail.com
