Welcome to week six of the series:

Just "Bomb-a-cious"! 

Lori created extreme glam here. With those curves and knobs, of course it screams Marilyn. For more photos of this and Lori's other gorgeous works check it out at Thee Velvet Glove. You'll be glad you did.

Stiltskin Studios

Show stopping. 


Many layers were added to achieve this super sleek copper finish. Then completed with authentic gold leaf accents. More information for this desk and many stunning furniture pieces can be seen at Stiltskin Studios. Enjoy! 







Cherry Vanity in Stampede

I'm always in awe over Lisa's talent. This vanity and mirror is yet another jaw dropper. She posted the before and more at {createinspire}. You'll see why I subscribe to her.









MEET NIGHT FURY

Black Buffet By Chic California


Milk Paint Buffet by Chic California


Black Milk Paint Buffet by Chic California

Carved heaven. 


If you see the before of this buffet at Chic California, you can understand why these ornate carvings didn't stand out until Adrienne added her magic touch. She "trained" her dragon!











Vintage Buffet Layered in Rich Colors

by Shelly at

 Shizzle Design








Curvy and beefy! 

Look at those feet. Shelly added layers to create this unique finish. She humorously explains how on her post at Shizzle Design.  Go ahead and have some fun with her.

Friday Five: Fabulous Furniture Features No. 5



Welcome to week five in the series:





This is where I share my five favorites that I discovered during the week. 

Have your drool napkin ready. 

In no particular order because they are each, just too splendid, please enjoy these fabulous works. 




Gaston


By Danielle at 
The Newest of Old







Danielle explains how painting Gaston was necessary due to repairs. To accentuate those carvings, I agree with her. This buffet turned out beautiful. Be sure to check out other gorgeous work at The Newest of Old.








Turquoise Dresser Featuring the Sea at Dusk

by Dionne at 

The Turquoise Iris ~ Vintage Modern Home





Furniture itself can be an art. But when you add art to furniture, you have a masterpiece. The colors and the painting on this dresser just mesmerizes me. (And look at that textured painted wall!) Dionne posted this art piece and more over at The Turquoise Iris

Antique Table Clock and Books Staged PM

Antique Table Top Dressed


Antique Table fixating pineapple finial to post

Susan added more than paint to this accent table. Color, stain, distress and a ... curtain rod piece for a finial!  So clever and so perfect!  She posted the entire tutorial and many other inspirations at The Country Design Home






How To Remove Veneer (Buffet Transformation!)

by Beth & Nick at 
Sawdust & Embryos 



A damaged beauty is restored by Beth and Nick. You wouldn't believe the original condition this buffet was in when they got it. You must see this and more at Sawdust & Embryos










Armoire {Painted Furniture} Makeover

by Janis at 




What a grand armoire! Janis used layering paints and glaze to achieve this beautiful finish. I just stop and stare. It's one of my favorites at All Things Beautiful
