Hey everyone,
I am currently enrolled in classes at Carteret Community College. My focus is on Web Technologies. In my Web Fundamentals class I hope to give my blogging/business a better presence on the internet. I wish to streamline this website to grow my business. I really would like my website to have a more modern and customized look. I appreciate any constructive criticism and feedback.
Thank you,
Bethany
Hello again!
I have a few more pieces to show you! I hope you like it and get inspired to repurpose something in your home.
You can follow this link to my facebook page to share your own ideas or browse the featured stories for some inspiration.
All the following items can be purchased from:
Especially for You in Morehead City.
She has wonderful and imaginative crafts from all over Eastern NC. She can customize just about anything. It’s the best new place to get a gift!
I found this adorable little bench in need of repair.
A little bit of elbow grease, shellac, paint and UV protectant for a top coat.... its got a whole new personality.
The bench cushion is done with a Sunbrella fabric accented with flamingos and palm trees. The perfect landing spot for beach towels.
These solid wood chairs and end are finished in a royal blue, accented with a compass and weathered finish, and topped with a UV protectant, this set makes a great conversation piece in any room.
This would look so cute sitting in a bay window, or in a cute studio apartment on the beach.
A sea of chalkboard paint makes the perfect Honey-Do list.
This solid wood coffee table is done in a soft gray, with a stripe of chalkboard, perfect for a note to the kids, an inspirational quote, a doodle, or a reminder to watch your favorite show.
Stay tuned for more repurposed items. Please share your opinions.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!!!!
Bethany

So, I just finished up a few more pieces.
A child’s solid wood craft table. (Forgot before shot.. to excited to paint.) The black is chalkboard paint and accented with shades of blue and teal.
____________________________________________________________________________________ A solid wood china cabinet. It was faded on the sides and simple look to it. I took the door off. There is a nice groove in the back of each shelf to display plates. Finished in a Semi Gloss ‘Oyster’.
Before

After. For Sale @ Splash Consignment Shop in Emerald Isle, NC.

Here is a small telephone table. The drawer was missing, so I flipped it around. The veneer on the apron was falling off. A lil wood glue and filler and a cleverly placed hand cut and custom stencil, makes the most of its ‘defects’ and gives it a fresh and transitional look.
Purples, grays and blacks are a popular scheme right now. A victorian-like look paired with a pop of color gives this usually excessively ornate trend a little more bold yet simplified feel.

This little drop leaf table, had some deep scratches in the top of the wood. It has a mint green eggshell finish with brown leaves (hand cut and custom stencils). Its fresh and springy and ready for summer on a covered porch.

This was a real hoot. I didnt take a before photo because I was yet again too excited.
The chairs and table were mismatched finishes. Sand, prime, paint and protect. I recommend a glass top because its one of a kind. It would make a great game table. Paired up with a red white and blue theme of plates and table mats and napkins, this would be a HOT and fresh look for any sea lover. Pick this up at Splash Consignment in Emerald Isle for $275. Support local artists and businesses.
I loooove furniture. And paint. Together I can save you money and give you a custom look in your home, and personalize it any way you like, for a fraction of the price. Most new painted looks go for $1500-$2000. Depending on the style and application of painting done, we could save you 80%. So why not customize it and save money and save waste and get something you’ll love forever!?

This was just a faded old wooden box. Now its got VAVOOM! With a bright blue and black zebra stripes. This box and just about everything else can have a new lease on life.
