Painting Furniture In The Kitchen

Thank you so much for all the comments on my last post! I love painting! I have not posted much because other things needed my attention. When life gets in the way of creating it can be very frustrating, but after raising a family you learn to roll with the punches.
My kitchen is a work in progress.The below pic is a buffet, but I took off the top and put a 1920's side wash sink in. I decided to go with a little black and white theme. I finished painting it last night and hopefully will be able to give it a light antiquing tonight. This is a little cabinet that sits above my stove. This piece has already been antiqued, but still needs a little more highlight on the roses and I also need to add the glass knobs and it will be finished.I will share more pictures when it's done. I wanted my kitchen to be pieced together with my junking finds. It is very primitive in a sense. I have no dishwasher and no garbage disposal, but it's a workable space and that is all that matters to me. When not in the studio the kitchen is my next favorite place to hang out. I am ready for the weather to get a little cooler, so I feel like cooking. Summer for me is salads and sandwiches.

A Little Flower Power

I painted another dresser for the studio. I am making some progress with the organization. It was a crazy around here this past week. One of my little puppies(Belle)was out in the yard playing and for some unknown reason just started yelping like I've never heard before. This happened in the evening so we had to wait until morning to get her to the vet. That was one long night! The poor little thing was in so much pain. Her leg was broken and she would need to have surgery. My vet does not do that kind of surgery, so we had to take her to another town about seventy miles away. She had the surgery, they put a pin and some screws in her little leg. She has some stitches and is not walking on the leg yet, but is starting to use it to hold her toys. The vet that did the surgery said this is common. She just came down on it wrong. I am just so glad she is doing better. It is very challenging trying to keep the two puppies apart. They have to be separate for 4 weeks. I painted this dresser with Belle's supervision. She loves to go to the studio.

In The Studio

If you are new to my blog these pictures will be new and if your are a regular blogger friend you know that I lost my blog a few months ago. I am going to be adding some old pictures. I will be getting rid of the other blogs because with this new layout you have a way of searching for say: Art dolls and every post I have ever made will come up with that search, but not yet because I have to put my dolls back up on this blog This is a dresser that was painted for my sewing room. All the furniture painted for the studio is just freehand. I make it up as I go along. Don't think just paint!
A little wacky, but I like it!

In The Studio

I just thought I would give a quick update of whats going on in the studio. This week was spent painting one of my main work tables. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I painted the top of the table to go with some material that I purchased a while back. I am going to skirt the table so I can hide things like canvas and stuff waiting to be painted. It will be nice to have a painting area. I will share more pictures when it's finished. I have also been moving shelves and have started filling them with stuff. They look empty right now, but that will soon change. There is a chandelier over the table just waiting to be altered.
