Grey Dey Thursdey. . .Vol. VIII

When skies are grey instead of being blue,

I retreat to Studio One and entertain myself with creative design thoughts.

Using a host of my favorite things,

I recently created a space for brewing a cup 'o tea 

whilst I create new designs for our Bit's 'n Pieces booth.

Newly acquired silver tea spoons 

rest within a crystal repurposed votive container.

A hand painted petite porcelain dish is the perfect size to hold tea bags.

My Sunbeam Tea Pot for brewing the "perfect" cup 'o tea!

I placed these items atop our repurposed vintage Sewing Machine Cabinet.

A damask patterned protective vinyl covering 

received a 'custom fit' from "Mr. Ed".

A vintage picture frame repurposed as a chalkboard

awaits a purposeful or sentimental saying.

The base of my vintage Sewing Machine Cabinet is painted using Sherwin~Williams Agreeable Gray satin paint.
The French Provincial hardware was painted With Sherwin~Williams
Paperwhite and accented with White Hyacinth, also in satin finish.

Accenting the beautiful wood in this cabinet, "Mr. Ed" stained the top 

using several coats of Dark Walnut Min Wax.

Sewing Machine Cabinet Make~Over. . .  here.)

While Spring storms plaque the Prairie,
"Mr. Ed" and I have a tranquil place to retreat. . .On Crooked Creektt.

Until next time. . .

On Crooked Creektt will be joining

Michelle @ Petite Michelle Louise for

Grey Dey Thursdey!

It is my wish that you, too, 

will experience the serene and tranquil inspirations 

that only the hue of gray can bring into your life.
