Studio Update

Stage 3.......

.....well, things are moving along with the studio renovations. Everything fit upstairs hooray! I was so  worried that the twisting turning stairs leading to the third floor would give me and my guys a hard time.

So, its all in, thanks to my hard working mover guys, aka son and friends....  Now that I've got the bones in place and am getting a feel for the room it's time to paint and distress.

Here's a shot of my inspiration colors sans black but, of course that will be thrown in wherever possible..

 I'm liking the zinc steel colored distressed box. bling of silver and the softness of antique lace.....

so here's what I have to work with and here's my pallet ...any ideas I would love to hear from you

Me, I'm thinking. paint the old oak curio to imitate the zinc-y metal colors of my steel box, distress to see the wood through and load it up with goodies....Paint and distress the legs of the setee, leave the dresser alone..by the way, I've been hanging onto it for 2 years waiting for the perfect spot....I love love love this chest, check out the hardware!

That brings me to my work table...it's really a quite beautiful Jacobean style table but it needs a little funk!..any ideas?

I would love to hear from you.....thanks for reading my ramblings...have a wonderful week!
