Flea Market Finds and French Musings

 Happy unofficial start to summer!  The season for flea marketing, antiquing, and craft fairs has arrived!  Here are a few of my newest found treasures before and after.

Mid-century modern night stand before...


After a light sanding, fresh coat of creamy white paint, and some floral graphics* decoupage.



Plain Pine Cabinet before...


After... painted linen white on the outside and robin's egg blue on the inside.  I added a door lined with chicken wire and an antique blue knob.


The top is decoupaged with an antiqued French garden label*.  Boring cabinet becomes chic cupboard!



Clunky Oak Table before...


After... sanded and painted a fresh cream color


 The top decoupaged with an antique French postcard print*


70's chunky magazine rack before...


After...deconstructed, painted and reassembled.  Chicken wire and an antique French wine label* graphic hold wine bottles.  Simple screws hold the wine glasses.


*The graphic transfers come from The Graphics Fairy

See you at the Lupine Festival in Sugar Hill June 12th!
