It's FuRNiTuRe FRiDaY!

This week we are pleased to feature a piece that was made with tender loving care by a mother for her daughter's wedding. 

We were so touched by the care she put into this special piece and special day.

Please check out her blog for a tutorial on how she created the look.

Ya'll need to know the rules for our FuRNiTuRe FRiDaY LiNk PaRtY.

1.) Your post must be about furniture. If your link has been deleted it’s because your post was not about furniture. You can share flea market/ thrift store finds, favorite pieces, DIY makeovers,  FAB furniture arrangements, or even furniture you want to own! YES, we consider Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities furniture.

2.) Post a permalink (the link to the post), not the link to your blog.

3.) This party will close Tuesday at midnight PST and we will choose our favorite(s) and feature them  on next week’s FuRNiTuRe FRiDaY. Have fun!

Vendor Spotlight- JG creations

Whoa doggies!!! Ya'll will get a real kick out of this vendor. Jill Gailey of JG Creations has a unique way of displaying her wares. 

She uses an old model T truck as her backdrop. Her junk is as unique as her display. Real one of a kind stuff...that's what we all look for at markets, right?

Come check her out at our Portland show. Make sure you get your early bird tickets! They are on sale now. Just hit the show tab up top! 

It's our first FuRNiTuRe FRiDaY LiNk Up PaRtY!!!

We heart the way this project turned out...we found an old 80's buffet/hutch on CL, changed out the dated glass for bead board and painted it. 

We didn't even change out the knobs or handles...we painted over them!

 Guess you could call that being lazy...We brushed on our Funky Junk Sisters Paint in "ice cream" color. When it dried we distressed it by taking a wet cloth and rubbing the edges til the paint wears off,  just ever so slightly.  We prefer this method when we want a soft, worn look. 

Lastly, we applied our Funky Junk Sister Wax to it for a protective finish. 

Below are the before pics...

Amazing transformation! Don't be afraid to try it yourself. It's only paint...

you really can't mess it up. 

We are dying to see some of your furniture projects.

Super Easy DIY Advent Calendar

We took some time the other day to create a special Advent Calendar for our Funky Junk family. 

Here's how we did it...

 We used scrap wood to form a simple star. You'll need five boards, 

each board measures 36 inches. Play around with them until you get the shape

you like, then nail them in place. 

We wanted it to look old so we dry brushed it with our 

Funky Junk Sisters Paint

in the color "galvanized bucket" and then with the color "ice cream".

After we painted it (which you can see a little better in this pic) we hot glued 24 mini clothespins to it. Here's our configuration. 

Then we took some chalkboard labels (you can get these just about anywhere, ours are from Hobby Lobby but we've seen them at the Dollar Store too)....

 stick them to some darling paper bags (Hobby Lobby). 

Here's how they look after we used liquid chalk for the numbers. 

We decided to fill our bags with a mixture of vintage ornaments, candy and holiday activities.

 Once the bags were stuffed we folded the top over and 

secured them on the star with the clothespins. 

Taaa Daaa!!!!

It turned out so stinkin' cute! 

It was easy....give it a try.
