I’m super excited to share this piece! My friend got this antique record stereo cabinet from a family member and has plans on fixing up the insides and making it work! Until then she wanted the outside refinished and looking chic in her space.
Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Snowbound and distressed for a perfect shabby chic feel. Original knobs cleaned.
Simple doesn’t mean easy! A sleek solid finish for this transformation! (I find that it is hard to photograph dark blues, or maybe its my camera phone.) Nonetheless, this piece turned out great! A dark navy color matched to a shelf my client provided. New gold dipped white feather pulls are absolutely lovely!
I have been wanting to do this dip look for quiet sometime! My client wanted gray and gold with a white glaze. We picked the color Sherwin-Williams Network Gray and Pure Gold. Revamped the original hardware in Pure Gold and glazed in white. Swoon!!
Starting this year off with lots of goodies! Our first piece of the year was a baby changer that was up for sale that sold within 5 minutes of posting on our facebook site! Next we had two custom end pieces that make up a TV entertainment center for a returning customer. A new client reached out and had her armoire revamped for her nursery! Lastly, an end table refinished in navy that is up for sale now!
This wonderful gal is up for sale! Click on over to Shop Selections to view details.
Refinished in a Navy blue and original hardware updated in gold for a nice pop! The body and top have been distressed in the natural wear and tear areas. This piece has a small crack and chip. This is the first piece where I left her as is, instead of fixing and covering her stories, I chose to leave them hoping that someone will love it as much as I do!
A client came to me with a picture frame she wanted to use as inspiration for her daughters nursery. She loved the color and how it was distressed in the lines only.
However, before painting, work needed to be done on a few areas. Apparently a pup found this armoire taste incredibly delicious!
Using layers of wood filler, sanding paper and patience I was able to build this corner back up.
After some paint, back to brand new!
Nursery armoire refinished in Sherwin-Williams color Aloe matched up perfectly to my clients picture frame! The original hardware, plain knobs, had to go. I picked out pulls and knobs from Hobby Lobby and revamped them in Pure Gold. Distressed in the lines only.
Before
Rustic Love! 2 pieces to a 3 piece tv entertainment unit set my client wanted a second chance on! She has had these pieces for a very long time and was ready for a change.
Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Paperwhite and lightly distressed. Original hardware revamped in bronze.
Baby Changer refinished in Sherwin-Williams Pure White and distressed. Hand painted silver stripes on both front door faces for something unique. I didn’t stop there, I also added a wooden embellishment glazed in silver and distressed. This gorgeous piece has 2 doors with one shelf on each side.
Before:
Happy New Year!!! I had a wonderful holiday break with my family as I hope you did too! Back to school and back to normal schedules! *screams* Time to get serious!! I am itching to start painting!
I’m excited to share with you another tool I can use during my color consultations as well for you to take home and view instead of my bulky paint color book. Sometimes picking a color for your space can be intimidating with the amount of color choices. Check out the new “Palette Guide” by Sherwin-Williams. This lovely Color System narrows down color in options that keep it simple and not so overhelming!
One thing that many of you asked to see of 2017 were more For Sale pieces throughout each month. I set a goal for myself to do just that! I am inspired by my followers and appreciate my clients who are 90% repeats! One thing that I always remind my customers is the option of dropping off one piece at a time to be refinished. Not only is this more budget friendly but it wont vacate your entire space leaving you somewhat distraught. Downside, it makes your transformation in your space take a bit longer. However, once complete, you will not be disappointed!
Starting this week off with some incredible pieces both custom and available for purchase!
As always, stay tuned in and thank you again for joining me in my hobby!

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong
Looking back at my 2015 Portfolio confidence was my 2016 goal for SC Charms as well as in my personal life. Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren’t. I grew as a women through God, my family and my clients this year. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses. When you finally accept everything you are, and aren’t, you will truly succeed.
I can look back on 2016 with pride, honor and happiness. SC Charms was Featured in Phoenix Magazine as well as Featured in The Chippy Barn Instagram Inspiration Guide. I completed goals that I had planned for myself, such as focusing some of my energies on my blog/ website. Sharing tutorials and How-To’s…. okay, I only did a few, but that’s a start! Trying new techniques like dry brushing and acid washing a mirror. But more importantly, I had courage, integrity and confidence in all that I did. I didn’t waver. I didn’t hesitate. I inhale confidence. I exhale doubt.
So what’s next for SC Charms, you ask?
Inspire.
My goal this next year is to inspire creativity. There are many ideas surfacing for 2017. New plans being created that I am so very fortunate to be apart of. I am looking forward to a very exciting 2017!
Thank you!
