Stuff that booth! Viva la vintage!

This week has been so hectic! But we finally brought in my latest milk painted beauties. 

The booth is literally stuffed...like a burrito :)

I think I have an abnormal obsession with dressers! 

 I really fell in love with the newest antique dresser additions. I named this pretty one, "Christabel."

She is painted in "Stoneware" by The Real Milk Paint Co., a very pale gray. 

I'm such a sucker for anything with big chunky legs & original wheel casters. 

But it's the hand carved details that make this piece really unique! 

I secretly hope she doesn't sell, so I can bring her on home for myself.

And here is "Louise." 

I painted this waterfall dresser's body in White, and drawer fronts in Stoneware by Real Milk Paint Co. This is a great way to tell the subtle difference in the 2 colors. As you can see on "Christabel" above, the gray tone is so subtle you can barely tell. But when compared on this piece, the undertones really pop out! As you can see, the milk paint went to work on chipping. I love, love, love chippy pieces!

Today I scored an amazing behemoth of a sideboard! 

 It is not often that I get a piece as regal as this. This big girl belongs in a room all to herself.

I can't wait to make her the center of attention in my booth!

She will be stripped down, sanded, painted, fixed up, & then get new hardware. 

I'm thinking of painting her something lighter, but not white. Grays are a new obsession of mine, but I have also been shopping around for some light greens & blues too. Oh, the creative possibilities!

A Very Vintage Day!

Today was awesome! 

The booth got a lot of newly finished pieces & on the trip back home, we picked up another load to start working on. 

It was a very vintage day!

Tin Roof Junktion was empty this morning. It has been empty the whole week- which is a good thing. But my booth senses were driving me crazy until my husband could take a day off & help me bring a new load of goodies. 

Whew, that's better! 

Even though I am still twitching nervously over the fact that there is no hutch or anything tall. It's okay, I'll get over it. :)

I really enjoyed working on these latest pieces. 

The pink stenciled dresser was definitely a first. Never have I painted pink, or used a stencil. 

But I think it turned out pretty good for my first attempt.

What do you think? 

After 2 hours of unloading all the new pieces & placing in booth (this is a way shorter time than usual), we stopped to fill up our truck bed with even more furniture. 

The lady we picked up from was so sweet! 

She had everything waiting on the porch for us-This never happens, EVER! 

We scored 2 antique dressers with lots of detail, 2 provincial mirrors, a gorgeous wicker basket, and 2 fancy chairs (not pictured).

I can't tell you how excited I am to start working on this next round. 

Pieces with character make me happy.  

I can hear the milk paint calling to me... "Brandi, buy me. Mix me. Try something besides white!"

So that was my adventure today. I am so exhausted, but so blessed to be able to do this job that I love. I am even more thankful that I am still able to push myself to do it while toting around my huge pregnant belly. I think Rosalie will love to junk like me...
