Inspiring Bloggers Series: Northern Nesting

Morning everyone! I am so super excited to have Martina from Northern Nesting here as part of my Inspiring Bloggers SeriesI don't even remember when I first started reading Martina's blog, but I do know that I was enamored with her painted furniture (and you know I love a good furniture makeover!) That's why I was so thrilled when she decided to feature some of her favorite pieces here today. Take a look!

Hi there Number Fifty-Three readers... I'm Martina and I blog over at Northern Nesting...my blog is all about home decor...DIY'ing... & gardening! 
~~~
I'm a long time follower of Angela's and love all her projects!!
I was so excited when she asked me to be part of her Inspiring Bloggers Series!!
~~~
I was going back and forth between doing a 
home tour post or a post about my 
furniture painting obsession...furniture painting won!
~~~
Here are some of my favorite transformations...

A chair my mom picked up for me at an estate sale...redone in MMS milk paint. I dressed it up a bit by adding the applique.

Next up my garage sale dresser...
Redone  in AS chalk paint...my favorite furniture paint!!
 My desk that I found on Craigslist...
After...
A sweet little table redone for my cousin...
 After...
 I've even been know to repaint a repaint lol!!
 These next few are recent pieces that I made over...
 Flea Market find antique chest for our master bedroom...
After...
 A demilune table that I had for years... I'm using it in my kids bathroom...
After...

 Another antique chest I found that I'm using in our master bath...
 After...
 Last but least my newest transformation...
 Giving a factory finished bench a soft...worn...white finish.
 I love how paint transforms a piece, weather it be an old piece that just needs a little TLC or making a new piece look old. 
Now pull out those paint brushes to paint and create!!

 Angela thanks so much for having me over today and featuring my blog!!

  3. That's fun to see a whole gallery of your work Martina- you do a wonderful job on everything. I like all the projects but that desk really caught my attention. Changing the handles on it also made it look completely different.

  17. What a great feature, I love Martina's style and furniture. Her blog is always a great one to wait for to see what she is up to. That demi Lune table in her bath with the toilet holder is a brilliant idea, no holes in the wall.
