I'd Rather Be In Paris

I'd Rather Be In Paris

Home Decor and Refurbished Furniture Paris is always a good idea. I love Paris and pretty much anything French. Certainly time to return.

I left a piece of my heart there in 1970 and again in 2008. I enjoy saving furniture and home decor from the landfills and givng them a new look and life. I'll almost always add a bit or a lot of a French Flair. After a few years of "LIfe Happening" I'm trying to get back to something I enjoy. Follow along with my crazy vision, crazy very unprofessional posts and videos.. It’s a process.......a girl just wants to have fun.

Sanding with a fine grit sandpaper between layers of the top coat makes for a nice smooth surface. I used a “clear dead flat” finish.

This tired and sad entry table needed some TLC. Now in blended blues, a Paris clock and clock accents she feels new again. I call her "It's Five O'clock Somewhere." See her at the Junkerville Flea Market in Webb City, MO.

Restyled Mid Century Modern Gossip Bench
This is was really sad shape when I started taking it apart..thankfully the frame and table top were in almost perfect condition. A little black paint for the frame and new seat and back and it's ready for cozy spot. I can remember my grandparents having a gossip bench in their home, who knew that someday we would be talking on a phone everywhere and anywhere.
See this at Junkekrville Flea Market. Webb City, MO.
