Morning everyone! I am so super excited to have Martina from Northern Nesting here as part of my Inspiring Bloggers Series. I 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...
A sweet little table redone for my cousin...
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...
Another antique chest I found that I'm using in our master bath...
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!!

ReplyDeleteI love Martina's work and her blog. She and I have so many things in common I told her we are joined at the hip.
ReplyDeleteThat'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.
ReplyDeleteOh I love all of her makeovers, they are all fabulous. She has such a great eye for recreating a piece.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love all your stuff Martina! (but that washstand is my all-time fave :) )

ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
