Always Light a Candle...

I have to confess, I love Candles. I paint some more new designs for this great holiday season "Christmas", my favorite time of the year. I choose to paint some Snowman's, Santa Claus and a new design that I call the twist, using some gold, red, green and my favorite copper color.

I love Candles I think it is very important and delicate to light a candle , specially at home for Christmas on a dinner table or for decoration. When I light a candle it feels warm and always reminds me of my family and friends wherever they are. It's so nice to have a candle on and it is very decorative, especially I like the  candles on the windows, I see it everywhere now for the Holidays, I wish they were always there, It looks like the old times and it make  the house look so cozy and  looks great for Christmas, like on the Christmas history books the house decorated for Christmas and smell like pine from the tree, fresh baked cookies and of course the unforgettable fire place, well I think you all ready understand that it's my favorite time of the year.

Hope you like my candles and please don't forget to light one and always make a wish!!

Happy Holidays!!!

*Rejuvenate End Table*

Hello dear friends;

Today is Rejuvenation Day!!!, of course only with the colors.

Let me show you what I did with this end table that my husband found not too long ago, in a yard sale.

This end table was in a dark mahogany style, not any more!!!,  Now, it's this wonderful fall color with a little bit of added distress on the top and legs to make it look more sophisticated. 

I think the color was a little bit too glossy in the begging, but after I added the dark ink to make it look "country", It just come up perfect.

Before!

After!

Hope you enjoy my new Rejuvenation Day!!

See you next time with more..

Red Poinsettia Dresser

How soon is now?
Here is one more excellent furniture,
Today my choice of color was for a red passion Red Poinsettia, that my mother in law found it in her basement and gave to me.
The company who created this furniture was Macey-Morris Co.
They were making household & office Furnishing here in Boston, Massachusetts.
This company closed in 1970.
The dresser is made of Oak and I added some polished chrome knobs.
Well hope you enjoy this creation, I really like it and I'm thinking on selling it.

The project begins!!

The Finale!!

See you soon and Happy Halloween!!!

*Home Sweet Home*

Finally,  I can say we are now in our nest!!!! It is wonderful to live in a place that lets you smile when you wake up. SOOOO long, TOOOO long in a hotel (the front desk asked me very polity to stop refinishing their furniture).
After all this time I can go back to writing in my little blog and post all these pictures of all the crafts I been doing and trying to do all this time. Well now, no more excuses about not writing in my blog, I have a home, and I have my work space.
It feels good to say, that we love Massachusetts and we are very happy with the place we have for living, we have a beautiful river running in the back of our home and all these beautiful trees changing the leaves and the wonderful colors we just love it.

Well let's talk about paint and craft and all what I been doing all this time,
I find in a Yard Sale no too long ago, 2 Old tins very, very rustic and rusty and in very bad shape. My husband always laugh at the old beaten up things that I fall for.
After I sand it and start to do the first coat, I can say they start to look much happier. And, despite the rust the metal was still in very good shape.

Hey...one more thing, if anyone is interested they are for sale $25 each one, and I use the Mail Post Office, just E-mail me,
Thank you and See you next time.......

Until next time!!!!
