"Hey Phantastic Phinds! Here's my redo on a shelf I purchased from you several months ago. Gave it a fresh coat of white paint and scuffed up a little. Love it! Love your shop!!

Thanks,

"I just spent a week moving our daughter from Boston to Philadelphia for grad school. What a wonderful and historically rich city. In between unpacking and shopping for necessities we found time explore. We went to the Museum of Fine Art(remember Rocky running the steps?) boathouse row, a guided tour(a family friend being the guide)of the historical district and of course ate a Philly cheesesteak! I also was able to sneak out and do a little treasure hunting.  What I found was Phantastic Phinds just outside the city in Erdenheim.

As you may guess ph replaces the letter bf in many names around Philly.  What a cute little place it was, owned by a young couple about to have their 1st child who started the business out of their garage!
What I found was this vintage shell frame with a classic ship print, perfect for a powder room or little boys room. It also fit nicely in my suitcase!

DOOR HEADBOARD: A solid old door, refinished and hung sideways, becomes a perfect -- and perfectly inexpensive -- headboard for a bed. Courtesy of marthastewart.com

Headboard How-To

1. If you want it perfectly even, Trim the bottom or top of the door so the rails (the ladder like crosspieces that separate the door's panels) are equal in width; on most old doors, the bottom rail is thicker than the others. A standard-height door will be tall enough for any size bed; trim as needed. Leaving the door as is may also add a great architectural element as well.

2. Sand, prime, and paint the door.

3. To mount the headboard, cut a 1-by-4 to the headboard's width, then cut it lengthwise on a 45-degree angle into two equal strips. Securely screw one strip to the door & attach the second to the wall, so the angles interlock. (This is called a French cleat, click here to watch a You Tube video on how to make one - it is so easy:)

4. Keep the bottom of the headboard the same distance from the wall by screwing a 1-inch-thick strip to the back.
5. Finish the top of the headboard by nailing on a mitered crown molding.

Woulfe Framing

gallery next door to you."

"We had a great time looking through things in your store- I will most definitely be back soon. My fiance and I just bought our first home, and I've become obsessed with decorating-- its great to have a place where I can score some neat furniture and trinkets, and try my hand at DIY! "

This is not one of ours but it is from one of our good customers and she was so kind to share her inspired transformation with us so we could share it with you.

We get dressers like this all the time, sort of plain and ordinary. They usually sell for under $200 and are strong and sturdy pieces to rehab.

Love 'n Fresh Flowers Makes a Great Shutter Sign

"This sign board is made out of two of those old wooden shutters you had. I put two hinges on the top and painted some plywood with chalkboard paint (didn't want to compromise the shutters themselves) to make a fun and funky vintage piece to use at my farmers market stands and for weddings. I'll be in soon to get my fix. :-)
