Spring Market, part 2

Here are a few more pictures from the Spring Market show I participated in this weekend! If you missed part 1, it's here.



Remember my painted signs? I made a few more!

The "Homemade Ice Cream" sign was another favorite....that one is for my mother, who engendered a love of homemade ice cream in all of her children!









The next sign was made from a bench seat--it's huge! I used an idea from somewhere in blog-land to turn the bottom of a cheese dome into a button! I drilled four holes through the wood, and then threaded twine for the "thread."



This next little table was a real find. It wasn't in too bad of shape, either...there were a few paint splatters on the upholstery and the bench legs. But don't you just LOVE the idea of the two benches that slide in under the table?? What a great way to have extra seating when you need it! I would have loved to have kept this piece, but it was more formal than my home is.



I had been dying to make a clock table, in the style of those Pottery-Barn distressed wall clocks. I found a table with iron legs and a wood top that was perfect for my experiment.



And yes...there are actual metal clock hands on the top! I told a friend of mine what I was doing, and she told me she had seen some huge metal hands at a local consignment shop. I hurried over, and they were PERFECT! I didn't actually attach them to the table; I didn't want them to interfere with dining or game playing...but they look so cool.



I also finished another Farmhouse-style table (you can see others here and here) and four chairs. There are two chairs of each style, but I think they complement each other nicely. The table also has a leaf. Love the claw feet!











Here's a fun little corner. In the back there is a cute pine table I found for $3 at Savers. I finished it with a stained top and a painted bottom like the Pottery-Barn-esque side table. The cute little magazine rack got painted red with a black glaze. I never can get enough red!





Some projects I didn't have to do too much to...the wood on this next little chair was so pretty that I just cleaned it and polished it, and I replaced the seat fabric (it's the same fabric I used for this bench).





Same with this little vanity bench. I cleaned up the wood and re-glued the joints, and then bought a new piece of 3" foam for the cushion (I love the look of the super high seat). It's covered with leftover fabric from my living room curtains!
