Good Morning!!  I used to be one of those TGIF people, that was until I opened a retail store and started working weekends again!  I feel like my week is just starting!  Now I'm a TGIM (Monday) person!!

My last post discussed a buffet and hutch that I was working on and yes, I'm still working on it, but happy to say I have now gotten the back off and have my fabric glued on!!  I ended up going with a different piece of fabric...it's very unique and will certainly be a conversation piece!

Here's a photo of it..

Will update once I reattach the back onto the hutch and do some finishing work...

Until then, have a great weekend!!!

Well, I've decided to take the plunge into posting my own blog for Anchique!  


For those not familiar with Anchique, we are located in Barrie, Ontario Canada and our store just opened a couple months ago.  Here's a link to our website where you can view our work!  http://www.anchique.com


Monday's are my day to get things done, so after I post this I am headed to my workshop to continue working on a buffet and hutch that I am upcycling.  


Here is a before shot of the piece...

And, below are photos of where I am at with this project.  I got my inspiration for this piece from http://theshabbiestchick.blogspot.ca/.  Thank you so much, I love your work!! 

I'm so excited, I found the fabric I want to use for the back of the hutch and am hoping to find the time to head down to Toronto to pick it up!  The gold on the glass will be removed.  Here's a sample of it...

Can hardly wait to get this done!!!!!!  Just so you know, this piece has been finished in Annie Sloan Chalk Paints, Old White and Chateau Grey....

This weekend I had the pleasure of attending a workshop in the city for Homestead Milk Paints.  I will be finishing a piece over the next few days for a client and have decided to use Fort York Red and will post photos as I get going on it.  Here is a before photo of the piece....

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope to keep you updated with new projects as I go along!  Have a great day!!!!
