Hey, hey there!
Do you know I never knew this piece was called a Pie safe before I started blogging.
{it is called a pie safe right?} that is what someone referred to it once as is.
I just knew I liked it a lot and my dear husband bought it for me for my birthday one day around 10 years ago.
Today, I am sharing the makeover of such pie safe.
Honestly, I never thought I would paint over this piece.
it was a lovely tea stained color with a pretty mural of flowers painted on the sides.
Well one day while cleaning…yes, I do clean on occasion.
I noticed it was chipping and fading on the side which faces the window.
I thought, BUMMER.
I guess I will have to paint it now.
After my makeover, I sort of realized in today’s decor, this pie safe probably was a bit outdated.
I had two cans of Annie Sloan chalk paint left with very little paint in them.
I actually watered them down a bit to make it stretch.
Color combination is
Antibes green
Louis Blue
How perfect that I had already added a little green ribbon
trim to my Stenciled recipe tea towel.
Don’t you just love my Soup tureen too?…
my Mom bought that for me a few years back for Christmas.
She bought me the mason jar too.
I just filled it with some sunflowers, acorns and tarnished silverware.
After I painted and distressed this piece I used some dark wax
I am so in love with this piece all over again.
All I need to do is get some new door pulls and I am good to go.
I have something in mind it is just a matter of time to get them.
I forgot to mention, that wooden roo on top had a makeover a long time ago.
I just forgot to show you.
That’s it for today!
Thanks for stopping over and your sweet time and comments.
{I have since found knobs and will share those after Thanksgiving}
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
I will be popping in from time to time while my Mom and sis are here.
In fact, I am pretty darn excited about Black Friday, and NOT to go shopping, but to meet you all
back here for the

It looks awesome Debbie!! I love it!!
It looks great Debbie! Love it!
I so like the after better, but Im a sucker for Antibes Green anyway. I sure love the piece now, Debbie great transformation:)
That looks great. So funny that the color combo you used is very similar to the colors I used on a piece yesterday. We think alike.
Thanks ladies…y’all are making my day:)
Love the new color – and that tea towel is fabulous!!!!

It is a beautiful piece before and after! Love all the decor inside and on top too!
It’s gorgeous!
That’s a great piece, Debbie! I love the narrowness to it so it could fit in just about anywhere.
Fantabulous makeover, Debbie!
If I can remember to visit the $ Tree and then remember to pick up some Christmas stuff, I will try to get a little post together for he party.:-)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Pat…I do hope to see your fabulous self at the party:) Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Pretty pretty!
This turned out beautifully, Debbie! Love the colors and the look…inspires me to re-do one I have been wanting to paint!
I love that cabinet, Debbie! It’s such a perfect size. But now I’m fretting over the knobs- what have you found?!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Debbie. Enjoy your company, eat lots of yummy things, and by all means lock up the pies where they will be safe!

I love Pie Safes. Yours turned out so cute! Love the new paint. It actually looks like this was the original paint, instead of the previous look!
Awesome makeover Debbie, I love the new look! Such a pretty piece!
What a fantastic job. It looks beautiful.

The pie safe looks amazballs can’t wait to see it in person
Your pie safe looks wonderful..you did a fantastic job…and you certainly have updated it well….I know what you mean when you have a piece of furniture that you love so much but feel it needs to be “refreshed”….Have a wonderful time with your family!!!
This is one nice paint job. I love the colors. So it this morning on Pinterest and was like wholly molly that’s pretty.
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, I love the remake of your pie safe. I’ve always loved these pieces. You’ve dressed her up so beautifully too! Now you had better slow down a bit before Thanksgiving !
Be a sweetie,
Shelia
Love the “updated” look.
Fantastic job, Debbie! I LOVE that you used two paints and painted the door a different color … truly pops. And, how fun that it still has its rustic charm. Happy Thanksgiving!
Debbie, your makeover looks great. Love the colors! Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Debbie! I think the pie safe looks so much better. You did a great job redoing it and the beautiful decor you surround it with.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Debbie, I love your pie safe makeover! It looks great!
nice job on the color combo…now, my question is: where are the pies?
I panicked when you first said you painted it, but what was I worried about? You did a wonderful job, it looks lovely!
I love your pie safe Debbie! When you get tired of it, let me know because I would gladly find a place for it in my home. Enjoy your family this Thanksgiving Debbie as I know you will, Gail
What a great piece. I love how far AS paint can go. Great color combo. You have reinvented an already awesome piece. Great job. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
oh it looks so good! I love the soft subtle colors, I have a large pie safe that needs a redo, I’m getting my courage up Debbie doo’s, give me a stretched canvas and I can paint a painting in no time but furniture, hear that knocking sound?, thats my my knees shaking!!!!!
I liked it before, and love it now. You did a fabulous job with your makeover. I really never care about “out dated”. The important thing is having what we like and want to enjoy in our home – not what someone else declares “dated” or “out dated”. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Peggy
Love it all Debbie! It looked great before but the new color really suits it!
Debbie- I LOVE that color combination. It is just gorgeous redone. Love it. Hope you have fun with your Mom and sis Blessings to you- xo Diana
You made a great choice with the colors. Looks awesome. The gold was gorgeous too.
Love that pie safe in green Debbie. Now you can cool some pies off in your new style. Happy Thanksgiving.
The new color is delightful!!!! Makes this little pie safe pop!!!n The finish is breathtaking!!!!
beautiful piece, love the color combination, you did a great job on it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Debbie!!
Perfectly charming pie safe, Debbie. Love the makeover.
Debbie, you just amaze me, I love the make over and your photography is fabulous!!

Great job, Debbie! I am a sucker for green anyway. I love it! I just got rid of a two door antique pie safe this past May that we just did not have room to keep. Now I regret it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Claire
Wait, I just noticed the rooster. I must have the rooster… lol
I love the makeover! You did a great job
Debbie
Looks gorgeous!!!! Happy Thanksgiving, Debbie!
Debbie, it looks fabulous!!!! The tureen really stands out now as well. The new blog look is beautful, too!
A nice job indeed! Great color combo. I have always had a thing for pie safes. I think it is a reminder of some of my moms stories from her childhood. And, roosters will always hold a special place in my heart.
