Back to School!

What a busy week.  Trying to finish up a couple of furniture projects between meetings and registration has been exhausting!  I officially have to start back to work tomorrow, so things are going to slow down a bit.  Just wanted to share the items we have just finished this week, and congradulate our latest customers on their purchases.

For Nguynnie...hope you enjoy your chair in your new classroom!  You will be missed!

 For Cindy - may your guest room be filled with fun (and new clothes!)

And Sandra - love your new bedroom decor!

Now, some pieces we made just for the sake of funky junk!

I LOVE this little table!  Thanks to some on-line inspiration, just wanted to see if I could...I can. This is all hand painted.  FAVORITE!!  Price: $85

If you saw the cedar chest/toy box, this is it's mate.  Cute twin size headboard - Price: $65

This chair was just too pretty to paint.  Cleaned it up, put on a new seat, beautiful detailing!  Price: $70

We also have 2 other pieces we are going to work on slowly but surely over the next couple of weeks (when we have time!)

This is a great computer desk.  Slide out keyboard desk, leaded glass cabinet, shelves, under cabinet storage...great piece!  Price: $120

And this gorgeous armoire/entertainment center.  I am so loving this...it would go great in my house - too bad i don't have room for it!  Price: $150

Thanks for visiting FJF!

So much FUN!

Since we are just starting out, we are still trying to find out niche.  I've had a vision in my head...just wasn't sure.  NOW - I am having so much fun making my funky junk, I can't decide whether I am ready for school to start or not.  (I am ready to see my kiddos!)

Here is our new stuff:

I think I have a new favorite every time I finish a project.  This one might be it for a while.  This is a 1957 Lane cedar chest.  I would be great as a toy box, or a place to hold precious memories!  It is all hand painted.  Price: $150

Here is the Batman dresser to go with Elliot's desk.  I sure hope he likes it!

This funky little side table is just that...funky.  I love the colors and pattern.  Maybe you like it too?  Price: $45

Mom made this cute little wall shelf.  I put 2 pictures:  one of the top, and one of the underside.  We didn't have the right size hooks today, so those will bet added tomorrow.  Price: $35

I love this little book case!  The paisley patterned fabric is just so 'funky'!  Price: $45

This bench, made from old headboards, is not quite 'funky' yet.  I am waiting for inspiration as to what color to go with.  Any ideas?  As is price: $65   Custom painted:  depends on what you want!

Tomorrow's project - another toy box for the neighbors!  Cowboy colors or soccer theme?  We'll see.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Oh My - we have been so busy working on new projects, I haven't had time to blog.  Mom and I went to the Montgomery Street Antique Mall in Ft. Worth to get some inspiration...my head is spinning!!  So many cute thing to be had.  Here are our newest items.

 Chad's school colors are blue and white.  He needed a 'teacher chair' and wanted a retro vibe.  This is what he got.  Blue arms and legs with white vinyl.  (Oscar liked it too!)


 I found this cute little white end table/night stand with this awesome pull on it.  We pulled the colors out of the handle and this is what we got...a beautiful coral and blue addition for your reading nook.  Price:   $40

This is an antique headboard.  We cut the legs off and added coat hooks.  I've got another one just like it in tangerine orange.  Price:  $50

 I love making 'teacher chairs'!  This one is for Ronna.  Almost wish I had made it for myself!  I do have several more like this...may be a project in my off time.  Need a new chair?  Price:  $50

My best friend Wende gave me this vanity because she didn't have room for it.  Haven't quite decided what to do with it yet.  Any ideas?  Price:  $70

This is by far my favorite item yet!!  I had an old coffee table and this decorative embellishment.  So, we cut the coffee table in half, attached the top to the bottom with heavy duty screws, added the topper, painted, L-brackets to attach to the wall, and now it is a two-tiered entry table.  LOVE!!!  Price:  $85

That's all I've got for now.  Thanks for visiting FJF!

Not just for girls!!

Finished the Batman desk today for Elliot...so stinkin' cool!!

This might be my new favorite!!  We will gladly make one for you...who is your favorite super hero?  Price: $100

Also completed Hannah & Hailey's bookcase to match their rooms...

We've got more!  Will custom match any color scheme - Price:  $50

I've had several requests for teacher chairs...Let me know what you want!

Cute stuff!!

So, I've finished a couple more projects...just wish i could keep them for myself!  I think these are 2 of my favorites!!

 I made this little chalk board table for Isabella's birthday.  From old end table to 'cute as can be fun' for a little girl.  I hope she enjoys using it as much as I enjoyed making it!  (Unless Dominic takes it over!)
I have several more small tables like this if you are interested.  Price:  $50

This awesome piece was an office chair with maroon burlap covering - UGH!!  Some paint and new colors  - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.  I have many more chairs and would be happy to make one with colors just for you!  Price: $35-50 (depending on fabric choice)

More tomorrow...Thanks for visiting FJF!

Customized items anyone?

Close to finishing another project...maybe tomorrow.

We have had several requests for specific items/colors/themes.  I thought I would upload some pictures of some pieces we haven't started on yet - if you see one that catches your eye and you have a great idea, we would be happy to custom make it just for your needs.

We have many more, just haven't had the time to take the pictures yet.  I will get those up tomorrow.

What a Day!!

We finally finished our latest project. 

This precious periwinkle and yellow piece leans more toward shabby chic and is designed as a child's wardrobe/closet.  It has 2 drawers at the bottom, double shelves and a rod for hanging clothes.  We worked long and hard on this one but it paid off in the end!  Anyone need extra storage for your little one??  Let me know.   Price: $150

Mom also decided to put her buffet up for sale.

This is a really fun piece...it is cream with dark wood inside.  Before it was mom's server, it was used in my bathroom as a vanity.  Love it!  It will come with baskets as shown.  Price: $75

As I am blogging, my brain is spinning with soooo many ideas.  My other projects currently include a pink & lime chalkboard table for a friend's daughter, a Batman table/desk for Elliot McCoy, bookcases for Hannah and Hailey, looking for a dresser for Cindy, and a dining room set for???   I am also thinking of a cowboy themed piece with boots on the feet...hmmm.

Hopefully in the next day or so I will be able to download pics of all of the pieces I have...If you see a piece you are interested in, I will customize it just the way you want.

For my friends - have anything you are thinking of throwing away?  Let me know.  I'll bet I can salvage it!

That's it for today - thanks for visiting FJF!  XOXO

SOOOO EXCITED!!!

Wanna give a shout out to Ronna Wyse for being our first customer!!  Desk goes to my sweet Hannah and Hailey...Hope they enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it!  Much Love, Aubrey

Getting Started!

Well, it's been a very busy couple of days - but I think I'm getting the hang of this blogging thing.  Mom, Chad and I have been working tirelessly in the garage trying to get our first major project completed, staged and posted.  Today, I am going to post pictures of several smaller projects that i have been working on for school, as well as our fun and funky desk we just finished.  All items with a before/after pics are for sale.  You can let us know immediately if something catches your eye and you just have to have it now!!  We are going to post to Graig's List and Pinterest also.  We are planning on have a furniture sale from our house in a couple of weeks (or as soon as we get multiple projects completed.)

Now, let's get to the pictures...

I made this little chair for my classroom.  I bought this UGLY little chair at a garage sale for $3.  I dug in to my scrap fabric and started stapling.  My kiddos will love this little rocker in the reading center.

Here is another little glider my neighbor gave me because she did not want to move it to Amarillo.   A coat of paint and some new covers for the cushions - LOVE!!

This small chest is in my craft room to hold some of my goodies!

This server is in my mom's dining room.  We picked it up off the curb.  The bottom drawer was missing.  Baskets from HomeGoods filled the space perfectly.

This chair came from another garage sale...hideous blue!!  New upholstery gave it new life, and a new home in the living room!

OK - let's see the latest project.

BEFORE: ICK!!

AFTER:  AWESOME!

A little sanding, priming, painting and fabric have turned this into the cutest little desk in Texas!  This desk will be posted on Craig's List for purchase if anyone is interested.  Would be GREAT for a girl's bedroom, classroom, or just a bit of fun in your home work space.

That's all for today.  Thanks for visiting FJF!
