I’m sorry about being a little MIA lately. I’m here, I’m just BUSY!!! I have been working on furniture non-stop it seems for the last couple of weeks. I have gotten a lot done to try and get the garage cleaned out, but then i keep bringing in more…oops :)
See, my garage is looking better…kinda…
Last weekend i painted non stop for 4 days. Well, i took a break here and there for a coke runs and potty breaks, but other than that i was in my garage for days – at least it seemed that way anyways.
I painted a ton of stuff a creamy white color – love this color, i think its my new favorite – i love colored furniture but i am partial to white :)
I had a sweat shop going on here, furniture all over the driveway, everything getting repaired, sanded and ready for paint. Usually i just do all my own repairs, but for some reason my husband Santi thinks he is now an employee of {Sweet Pickins} – i guess i will let him do the work, but i aint gonna pay him – I’m sure he wont be an employee for long when he figures that out…. ;) But he should of worked all that out before he started. Not my problem.
I even had entertainment when i was painting away – she sounded……..uh……… lovely?!?!? Good thing she’s cute, maybe not so much in that pic because i would rather paint than give her clothes to wear or do her hair…but she does clean up well :)
Ok, i know that i promised to show pics of my craft room, and i will get to it soon. I also get lots of emails about my bedroom with the board and batten treatment, i will get that post done soon as well. I promise.
And i promise no more pics of my garage – just cute furniture. But this is my life right now :)
If anyone is local (SLC, UT) i have listed a few little things on my {Sweet Pickins} site that are for sale
Hall table or super cute TV console (i imagine it in a girls room)
Side table
And a headboard turned shelf
If any of those items interest you, go over to {Sweet Pickins} for pricing and contact information
love all the projects the headboard turned shelf is very unique. love the color.
I so want that table and shelf! They are gorgeous!!
work it! Our garages look a lot alike….lots of projects! Unfortunately it's still too cold here to paint, so everything is gathering dust… Love the headboard transformation – smart!
Love this post. I've had times in my life like that where I drug tons of things out to paint. It looked like garage sale. Your painting is spectacular though, it all looks so great!
I totally want the headboard turned shelf. Too bad it would too spendy to ship to AK :( Bummer deal.
The rocking chair in the lower right hand corner of the first photo — please do a follow up when you've finished it. I need to refinish one exactly like it and would love some ideas!
If I were there, that side table would be mine… ALL MINE!

How can a guy resist powertools? LOL And, that last piece is gorgeous! Love the color.
Oh, and eagerly awaiting your board and batten post, too — I'm wanting to do that in the baby room and have no idea where to start!
Yeah…I'm still a fan of your amazing talent :)
OMG! That rocking chair, is it possible for you to send me a picture of it before you do anything to it? I just have to see it. It looks EXACTLY like the rocking chair that my mom used to have. We unfortunately lost hers in hurricane Katrina, but I still remember what it looked like, all the way down to that hideous gold paint decorating it. I would so appreciate it if I heard from you. Please email me at midnightsun_designs@yahoo.com if you are able.
Thank you so much!

everything is looking beautiful! i especially love that side table!
Those are gorgeous!! You have inspired me to turn junk into lovely things.=) I got a crappy shelf on wheels for free and my husband thought I was crazy for trying to make it better. But I painted it (5 coats, ugh) and roughed it up a little and it is a lovely toilet paper holder/cabinet in our bathroom. Also, painted an old looking table we have had forever. I love it! We were in a questionable area the other day and I saw a cushioned awesome looking chair on the side of the road. If I wasn't afraid for my life, I would have picked it up! Thanks for all your hard work. Amazing!
Everything looks fantastic! Lucky you, to have a free employee!
I see you've still got snow…did you use your spray gun for these projects? I just sprayed a piece today and I think it was a bit too cold because my paint bubbled just a bit. Still, it was totally worth it…I'll just distress those areas! :)

Love all the great pictures, Sausha! Santi is a keeper for getting in there with the sander. Maybe he just wants his garage back? I love your antiqued blue pieces – will have to chat with you about that.
Brrrrr! lol I'm so ready for spring! LOOK at all of that awesomeness and the cutest little girl ever! Love it! Now…of to Sweet Pickins to take a look around. :)
