Another simple piece that wasn't much, has been transformed in a way that would never have occurred to me. How sweet. How lovely. A little gem. How do you do it? Clearly, I need more practice. Lot's of practice to produce something half a nice as yours. Kudos to a master at her trade!
Oh, definitely not a master! But practice does help. I mostly just get inspired by the prints on the napkins and papers I use. Or other forms of art and then want to incorporate them onto furniture. And then from those things it’s gives me color ideas. I feel like they just always stem from something and progress as I work. So I’m sure you are right here with me!
You perform magic on your pieces. Love them!!!
Thank you so much!
This little table is adorable Taryn! Your stepdad has a good eye for unique items and confidence in your ability to transform practically anything he finds. I love that you are family oriented and down to earth. Good luck with your new venture! I'll be sure to check it out. Keep smiling!😀
Thank you, Shirley! I hope you know how much I appreciate all your comments. You always warm my heart.
I have not commented in a long time, I've just been watching your journey and growth and it has been astounding. Your painting skills (I was encouraging you to paint) have improved quite a bit, it is surprising to see you improvise, as you did with the "ship" painting. I love what you did with this piece, I'm glad you did not take it apart. Congratulations on all you have achieved... I'll keep continue to watch and quietly applaud your sucesses. Much love 👍
Thank you so very much! I can’t tell you how much it means to have you all cheering me on - even if it’s quietly. This journey has been very fulfilling and a lot of that is because I get to share it with people who have similar interests. You are very appreciated.
Andersonville, Tennessee here! What a creative artist you are! I love the idea of using the side slot as a laptop storage space. Great idea! You rock, as always!
Thank you for all your kind words, Tracey! I really appreciate always seeing your name pop up every week. It means a lot.
I know you appreciate comments, quite willing to read suggestions. The piece looks great, with the floral print matches well with the Grey tones. Love the wooden top
Thank you, Suzanne! I do appreciate comments so thank you for taking the time to leave one ☺️
So adorable! Love that “paper” OK, napkins. It is so sweet. Lucas, cracks me up. He’s keepin it real.
Oh yes, he’s always keeping it real- and keeping me on my toes 😂
Oh my goodness. To be such an odd piece that turned out so well. I love that.
It was interesting for sure! I believe it was very useful in it’s day…
You are a ray of sunshine. I hope and pray all the best for you. You have such a wonderful artistic eye. I love watching your process.
Thank you, Leanna! That’s very kind of you to say!
I think I loved hearing "do you want to play with me" today. I miss that as mine are more than grown up; nice work again. I love the many finishes you used.
Yeah, I’m going to miss this part of him growing. We just got done going around the house searching for keyholes to magic portals 😂 He has the best imagination.
My goodness!! Adorable!!! Best wishes on your new project. I am sure you will do very well!! God bless!!

I’m so so glad, Dione! Thank you!
Es un placer verte trabajar.
Los resultados son siempre magníficos y sorprendentes.
Felicitaciones.
Thank you so much, Candelas!
I really love the piece under the one you're working on in this video.
That one is killing me, Fiona! It was a curb find and I’m not sure I can get the smell out 🤢 It’s so bad. The particle board completely soaked up all the icky stuff.
@@elegantupgrades that is a shame. It looks so nice. Lots of swirls to create painted beauty
This is darling! I love how you interpreted this little thing. The decoupage is lovely. I wish I knew what this piece was originally used for. A phone table, maybe? Or a small bar? It looks wonderful now. I’m going to go check out your website now. That’s very exciting!🌸
Thank you, Deborah! Someone mentioned it would have been a telephone table and what I thought was the magazine rack is actually where you stored the telephone book! It made perfect sense after I read that. I may have slapped my forehead 😂
Nice work 👍
Thank you, Julianne!

Saw the card tip done in another person's video when they were painting a mirror and it worked great.
That’s good to know, Kevin! Thank you.
That’s exciting news about adding your mom to the business!
Thank you for being excited with me! She’s a trooper for putting up with me 😂
Hi Taryn …what a sweet piece! I’m so glad you left structure as is…it is darling…so many people are removing so many details that make pieces unique! Sometimes it is necessary but I think it’s nice to not to do it to every piece….CONGRATULATIONS on your new website‼️❤️🎉🪅I hopped over to your website before commenting and I purchased the copper pail and copper kettle!! Love them and so excited to find them🤩 I wish the best of luck with your new endeavor 🌟❣️😊kim
Ahhhhh!!!! Thank you so much, Kim!!! I was jumping for joy. You are my first “real” sale. (I made a couple people buy stuff to make sure everything was running smoothly)
1st real sale!! lol🤣❤️ I love that….and love the pieces🤩❣️I was so excited when you said you were starting a website…..I’m a shopper….I will be checking it regularly‼️hugs, 😊kim
Hi Taryn, that's an interesting piece, I like the technique you used...Congratulations on your website ....I have a little side table and it has magazine racks on both sides and they're rounded, I'm not sure what to do with it, I originally bought it because it was different now I'm thinking what the heck, it looks like a barrel, lol, not easy to clean down the sides, I'll figure it out, I might remove the sides ...Take care...
Thank you so much, Martine! I love that you are just going to “figure it out”. I feel like while I’m doing the pieces that have me stuck, I’m usually more attached to them at the end because we’ve kind of gone on a journey together 😂 I’m sure it will be lovely when you are done.
Love the table! Just a thought on your decoupage paper that bleeds. Could you spray to seal in the colors before you decoupage? I’ve not tried but just thought of it when you were talking about having a problem with bleeding…And it might make the paper stronger.
Thanks, Debbie! Yes, you can use a spray sealer first, it would help a lot. I just don’t like how stiff it makes the paper. But it definitely works!
It’s an old phone table, the rack is for the phone books, the hutch area is for the landline phone and the top is for sitting on. They are so adaptable
Yeah! I’ve had a few other comments letting me know! You all are the best! Thank you.
long-tailed giant ichneumon wasp- the long tail is her egg depositor. Creepy but cool at the same time.
I know!!! I had to look it up as soon as I saw it. I was absolutely fascinated by the egg injector! I’ve found so many cool creatures around here in the mountains.
Skinny roller on long pole might have helped. Like 24” long?
Yes, to paint it a roller would have worked. But I wouldn’t have been able to create the same overall finish. And I wouldn’t use a roller to apply decoupage. But definitely for a regular finish- and that would have made my life a lot easier!
That is a telephone table and the side portion is for the telephone book!
Oh! Perfect for a telephone book! What a slap my head moment.
Could you use a roller to get in between the panels
Oh yes, if I was just doing a solid paint job a roller would have worked fine. But since I was doing a layered finish I couldn’t do that.
If you turn the piece on it's side maybe it would be easier to decoupage that small space. I don't know, I'm not there but it is a cool looking piece. I've never seen anything like it honestly.
Love what you did with this. It’s a perfect lap top stand!
Thanks, Christine! I agree!
Are you the one who pours something with resin to make is pliable?
I don’t believe so. I hope you find whoever it is! Sounds cool.
LOL now I see you did turn it on it's side.
Haha! Yes. I flipped it. And then again for the other side. I just needed smaller hands 😂
What was the point of toning down the wood grain if you just covered it up with paint I don't get that
I’m not sure what you mean? I sanded the finish off the top and the legs and then did a toning wash over them so you can still see all the wood grain. The body only got a scuff sand and then that was painted. 🤷🏻♀️
I think what you have there is a telephone table. Telephone on top, telephone book on the side
I think you are absolutely right, Margaret!
Its a magazine rack
I thought so, too! But a lot of people said it’s a telephone table and the side is for a telephone book and that makes perfect sense to me as well.
This piece could have been an old phonograph player and the side held the albums. Maybe??
I think someone definitely could have used it for that. But I’ve had multiple people mention that they thought it was a telephone table and the phone book goes on the side. That has seemed the most likely to me.
You know what would be cute? If you took a bureau and made a dollhouse out of it. What little girl wouldn’t love that?
Oooo!!!! Interesting! That would be so cute!!!
This is a little cutie! Congrats on the website😘❣️
Thank you, LaVonne! I’m very excited! Nowhere near your level of business, but I hope to be one day!
