<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;">Some day in the future people will remember the great recession in which we now live. They will recall reality TV where rednecks make a living killing alligators, selling duck calls and "noodeling". They will remember when the term "picker" became a household word and every network had a program related to guessing the value of items found in attics, cellars, and thrift shops. They will wax nostalgic about websites and blogs where housewives and self described "designers" posted elaborate journals about how they transformed old hopeless pieces of furniture and accessories into beautiful and useful treasures with a little paint and wax. They called these products "Shabby Chic" or "repurposed". </td></tr>

Recycling and re-purposing is certainly not for everyone. However I find it a great creative outlet for my limited skills. I'm not the least bit persnickety, so naming my little adventure "Shabby Friends" gives me permission to offer products with numerous flaws and imperfections. </div>

A French Armoire</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been October since I have blogged and I am having to learn it all over again. So many beautiful things have come and gone without documentation. But, I couldn't let this armoire leave the store without getting it on the blog. I had given it as a gift to a relative who's initials are HS. I recently found it in one of her out-buildings and decided to take it back. I regret not taking a before picture, because it was in very bad condition. I painted it with ASCP Old White then used an opaque projector to project a French perfume label printed off The Graphics Fairy Web Site. Next, I took a black felt marker, put on some music and traced the projected graphic on the piece. It took two days. I will take open door pics later this week. </div>Shabby Friendshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15339978229846968259noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378432447920783986.post-71429756878748728432012-06-12T20:04:00.000-05:002012-06-12T20:05:20.252-05:00Shabby Friendshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15339978229846968259noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378432447920783986.post-32142339787909605342011-10-27T09:37:00.000-05:002011-10-27T09:37:10.045-05:00Recent finds for Shabby Friends<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Everything was Maple. Hard Rock Maple. It was all done in what we called Colonial or Early American Maple. No respectable home in the POST WWII era was without Early American Maple in every room. Being one who loves to buy and sell vintage furniture, I find my self avoiding anything that suggest the style that filled every nook and cranny of my childhood. Why is that? Oh yes, I forgot. I was a child of the rebellious 60's......rejecting all symbols of the establishment. And, yes.....Maple was one of the strongest icons of the Eisenhower generation. <br />
<br />
So...what to do with Mother's maple. <br />
Well how about painting it. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mr. Shabby brought this cute chair home several years ago and discussed learning to cane. Well ...... caning is a very difficult skill. So, the chair hung in the garage for several seasons. I decided to remove all the cane seating and plug a punch bowl in the opening. The empty bowl called out for some fall foliage and the process goes on and on but you get the idea. </td></tr>

So......I re-applied the stencil and repaired with silver paint. I think the combination of silver and gold works. </td></tr>

Diane and I spent the day revisiting our 45 year friendship. We have so much in common; however our passion for anything vintage ruled the conversation. Diana and her husband Jim restored this magnificent home a few years back. Enjoy the tour.</div><br />

It fits easily into the Shabby Chic niche of decorating. The examples we often find in Texas and the Southwest are a style of regional pottery called Tlaquepaque. We often come across a piece or two in garage and estate sales. Its' appealing to both Folk Art collectors and Shabby Chic decorators due to its' primitive, childlike renderings depicting Mexican rural life and plant and animal motifs.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpVRIMhLdBjv510Z3CkS3ClHTlyFcsonGemNNLTUGf4dnNNNcUnd_C2xqhu5Ef_NF54w_ZrZpw3bj7TP_zOKdYArpnN5zXT4HAw88Caf0EniXuEkvP723V6kjPaWEYEXQmGtQaNBD_MCNe/s1600/IMG_0374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpVRIMhLdBjv510Z3CkS3ClHTlyFcsonGemNNLTUGf4dnNNNcUnd_C2xqhu5Ef_NF54w_ZrZpw3bj7TP_zOKdYArpnN5zXT4HAw88Caf0EniXuEkvP723V6kjPaWEYEXQmGtQaNBD_MCNe/s320/IMG_0374.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
