Shabby Good Furniture

At the Feathered Nest Market

There is always a great selection of furniture every time I stop in at 

The Feathered Nest Market in OKC.

Find them on Facebook - here.

As usual, anything turquoise catches my eye.

I showed this piece the other day. I love how the shabby way this is painted makes the details stand out. 

More turquoise. This is a very glamorous vanity, indeed.

My friend, Jill who I was with this day loved this chair.

I do like the way they made it over.

Isn't it fun?

I thought the paint technique on this piece was interesting. 

Just a gray wash over the existing finish. 

Super easy and I do like the way it looks.

This one stopped me because of the drawer pulls.

Aren't they sweet? 

Simple white...always good.

Pretty little metal frame.

I loved this clock. I need this clock. I usually avoid clocks.

My biggest flaw is that I'm late to everything and clocks don't help...they just make me feel bad about myself.

For real...I avoid them.

Another turquoise piece. This time a buffet.

Ok, another variation on turquoise again. 

I would never look at these tables in their original finish. 

I would consider them way too gaudy but put a little aqua paint and highlighting on them

and now they are fabulous!

Mom and I are hitting up the new Homegoods today in Norman.

I am very excited that we finally have one. 

Mom just popped in the other day to make sure it was worth me making the trip.

I already knew it was worth the trip.

But she had never been in one.

She called me from the store saying,

"I'm at Homegoods! You will love it!"

I was like, "You were suppose to wait to go with me!"

She said, "Oh, I just peeked.. I just wanted to make sure it was worth your drive and it is!"

So we are going today after I get off work.

I feel so lucky that I have my Mom and her health is good.

Last year at this time she didn't feel good at all.

We are so lucky that open heart surgery last December fixed what was wrong with her

and she is back to doing all the things she loves to do.

I ran into a friend at the store the other day who is not so lucky.

Doctors told her that they feared she would die immediately on the table if they tried 

to fix what is wrong with her heart. 

Hard to believe in this day and time that nothing can be done for her.

Yes, I am so lucky that my Mom's heart was fixable.
