Introducing.....Bella Marketplace in Boulder City Nevada New Antique Store!

Hi everyone, so excited to finally get the post out on our latest store here in quaint little Boulder City, Nevada!

Welcome to Bella Marketplace, and this place is large, wonderful, has great vibes and I am happy to announce I finally have a booth in there now. I am so very excited to show you some of the lovely booths! The Vendors have beautiful things, vintage, handmade, furniture, and one Vendor has their own Brand of chalk paint they are selling in any color you want! Vintage, Antique, Art, a wonderful place to grab a special gift!

I am going to stop typing, and add the pictures. Beware.........long long post, but mostly pictures! If you are in our quaint little town, be sure to stop in and say hi to Faye and Kaye! They have added another wonderful store to our town! So here we go!

If you are still here? Thank you for making it to the end of the photos! I will be posting more as the weeks go on! Things change up daily at this lovely place. Hope to see you there?

Wishing you the Best, Kat

Sewing Machine Cabinets and one lonely end table

Hi! Here are some pictures of my latest project!

It seems I never do only one thing at a time, who knew, so I have taken on three little pieces to up cycle and will be using in my home.

I said I would never paint in the heat again, but here I go again! Trying to get these pieces done before the heat arrives! Last week 100 degrees and it is only May!

The first is tall standard sewing machine table, the second is an end table and the third is the larger sewing cabinet.

The standard sewing machine table and the end table will be stacked, will take pics of that when in place. I have a third piece, already white, that will be the top of the two tables. They will fit in a small corner of my studio office. I can't wait to show you how this will fit!

The larger sewing cabinet will be for my new "where I create" area!

These pieces shown are the before and during. The final pics will be posted later today.

I paint with my own recipe of chalk paint, sand and seal with furniture or paste wax. Will link to the products as well.

I got so excited yesterday, the weather was nice, not too hot so I could get these done, I let them dry completely overnight and I'm getting ready to go out back and sand and wax.

......to be continued.....................................:)

Hi there! I finished, in the wind! Oh my allergies! but, I am so very happy with the outcome! Here are some final pictures and the paste wax and sander I utilized, I highly recommend them!
