Hazelnuts: November 2014
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Saturday, November 29, 2014. A few years back, when they moved, my aunt and uncle generously gave us a bunch of their old furniture, including a dining set. We used that set for a long time, despite the fact that the chairs were a dark hunter green and the stained top was worn through and marked with crayon in short order by grubby little hands. It was a godsend for us. And now I have a ton of shellac and alcohol, if anyone needs any. It's got a hand...

Hazelnuts: March 2015
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Friday, March 27, 2015. Im ecstatic about this super cute dresser upcycle. Not that I can take any design credit- my friend and client was looking for a statement piece for her sons playroom. She chose the colors and had the vision for those precious polka-dot knobs! This is what she brought me- an older vintage dresser of her husbands:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Get Hazelnuts in your Inbox! Awesome Inc. template. Powered by Blogger.

Hazelnuts: October 2013
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Saturday, October 26, 2013. This cute bedside table and its match are in their lovely new home. I always love seeing projects inhabiting spaces that fit them so perfectly! Friday, October 18, 2013. This is an adorable antique vanity upcycled in a marshmallow white with seafoam accents and moderate distressing. It has a light coat of burnt umber glaze to age it back a bit- not that it needed any help on the aging front. Thanks for stopping by!

Hazelnuts: May 2014
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Friday, May 30, 2014. We are turning vaguely crunchy around here. Not much, mind you- just whiffs of it here and there. We got chickens, but they aren't exactly organic. They end up with plenty of stray graham cracker crumbs and leftover cheerios along with their kitchen scraps. Though Brian fought getting chickens for two years, he went chicken-crazy within a few days and we soon ended up with a pile of these:. Which have now grown into gangly teens:.

Hazelnuts: May 2015
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Recently, I did a couple of small projects for a good friend. She's had me do several other pieces in the past, and it's always nice to know that your work is making people happy enough to come back rather than so alarmed that they switch to outfitting their homes entirely with Ikea furniture. Nothing against Ikea. But pieces like this need to be given a new beginning! I love how she has it set up! I should have taken pics of w...

This is what she brought me- an older vintage dresser of her husband's:. She was decorating the playroom with some great art pieces and a playful IKEA orange polka dot rug.

Hazelnuts: Sugar Highs!
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2015/02/i-got-to-make-cute-little-smash-cake.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. I got to make a cute little smash cake for the first birthday of a friend's daughter. Smash cakes are my favorite! And pink ones rate especially high. Happy birthday to the sweet princess! To keep sugar highs to a minimum, I did a no-sugar-added cake with bananas, strawberries, and applesauce. Granted, the frosting was genuine all the way. Thanks for stopping by! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Hazelnuts: June 2014
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Sunday, June 1, 2014. The son of one of my dearest friends turned one this past weekend. Baby Z (who's not such a baby anymore) celebrated in style with a fantastic circus-themed party that his clever mom planned up. The stage was set early on when these fantastic custom hand-drawn invitations arrived. My friend commissioned Shortcake Signs. This was a project that was so special and meaningful to work on. Happy birthday and much love, dear Z!

Hazelnuts: September 2013
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Monday, September 23, 2013. Bring On The Color! Fall is my favorite time of year. BY FAR. My husband doesn't let me start decorating for fall until midnight on August 31st, which is very generous of him, since (as he points out multiple times a day for weeks on end) fall doesn't really start until mostly through September. I used my usual bold turquoise blue base and highlighted it with a black glaze. Aren't those knobs fun? Thanks for stopping by!

Hazelnuts: Hollywood Glamor
http://hazelnutsdiy.blogspot.com/2015/05/hollywood-glamor.html
A touch of whimsy and color to transform the ordinary. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. This vintage bedroom suite is the real deal, folks. One of my dearest friends brought a tall dresser, a headboard, two nightstands, and a rather bewildered face to my house, where we talked through how to best give these pieces a new life. They were the quintessential Hollywood Regency look with the original speckled yellow finish and brass hardware. I sure do. Have ya'll seen what these sets go for on ebay and etsy? Add a blue...
