I'M DISTRESSED!!!!!


Yes I am distressed.  Wood distressed that is!



I have always loved the worn patina of old painted wood.  I have many pieces large and small and my love affair just grows stronger.


Lately I have fallen for old distressed walls as well. Mind you I think I would prefer one wall of a large room or a small room all distressed.  I think a large distressed room would be a bit overwhelming.



I also adore the slat wood pieces worn out in different shades of paint.  I even like some of the newer pieces.

You may recall in my post last fall that we had repurposed an old maple table into a kitchen unit.  I just love this piece.


Our annual Christie's Antique Show is coming up I am hoping to see some booths like this one....oh bliss!!  Perhaps I will luck out and see some fabulous painted bowls like these.

I am so in love with old patina wood that I have decided to reconfigure my Etsy Shop LUCY'S GARDEN.   I am hoping to have it ready in 2 weeks and when I do I will have a little GIVEAWAY to celebrate. 

The picture above gives a little hint as to what I am creating for the shop.

Also I would like to do a HALLOWEEN BLOG TOUR.  If anyone is interested please let me know.  I would like to have enough people to do one, I just love the other ones I have joined and hosted.

  2. Distressed wood is lovely. I like the idea of a distressed wood wall. I'm like you, I don't think I could take a whole room. Can wait to see what is in your Etsy shop.
    Blessings
