The charming revival of an old antique vanity gives this piece an entirely new personality. It will eventually be installed in a home on the shores of Lake Michigan. The very talented Phil Anderson of Cut Above Wood Designs in Niles, Michigan added a base to bring this to a more appropriate vanity height. A white marble top and sink will be added as it is installed. The Inspired Designs Team once again did a great job coming with this concept. The piece was painted with Dixie Belle Hurricane Grey Chalk Paint. Annie Sloan white wax gives the fresh grey paint movement and rhythm in a subtle way and pulls…

This satiny and fresh blue cabinet looks stunning in the foyer of a beautiful home in McCordsville. The original piece was tired with a discolored creamy farmhouse style finish and crooked knobs. New paint salvaged this and and gave it a nice update. Benjamin Moore Advance Paint was used to give this a rich and durable finish. Stephanie Califar of Vida Indy Designs is assisting the homeowners with an interior update. It is always amazing to work with talented designers like Stephanie who can easily select a color to make a piece take on an entirely new personality.

A friend from my grade school days asked me to update her rocker and create something special for rocking her future grandchildren. She gave me free rein to design something and told me to “just surprise her.” We share the love of vintage china patterns and our collections both include patterns in a rose motif. It was only fitting to add them to her rocker. I painted the piece with Dixie Belle Lemonade chalk paint, waxed it with Annie Sloan wax and adorned it with IOD Wondrous Floral II transfers. I can only imagine the joyous and memorable moments she will enjoy in this rocker.
