It turned out to be a someone we had purchased a dresser from last year and had another piece she thought
I'd be interested in -
YES PLEASE
just a little dated - I can remember when that type of relief was in vogue big time though
but ooh la la I couldn't wait to get my hands on this piece
I've wanted to do a drop leaf table for a long time now - kept waiting to find one - but never, not for one moment, imagined one would just fall from the sky like this!!!
I have BIG plans for this sweetheart - isn't she just crying out for a little love?
Here's the last piece I bought from Kim - about a year and a half ago
and I promptly stole an idea from Annie Sloan ( in one of her books ) this is Annie's masterpiece
she's amazing right?
this was my version copying her tutorial from the book.
using old white - some dark wax - and clear wax to finish
I'm loving it all over again - and think I'll do this soon to another dresser - makes me think of Spring!
Thanks so much for the feature!!!

ReplyDeleteThe dresser looks amazing. Can't wait to see the table. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThe artist in her element. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the finished product. The dresser is really pretty!
Oh that dresser is pretty! Can't wait to see it
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see that table! It's dated? Seriously?;>) I think I did a couple of pieces similar to that-early 90's maybe? Hope you have a great, productive day- I am off and running here and playing catch up around home after being gone last week- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteps- The dresser was great, too. I love AS's workbook!
ReplyDeleteVery subtle pattern on the dresser, and I love it! That would be a hard one for me to part with!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I used to paint and sell furniture just like that LOL! Pretty at the time.Not so much now.But the table is a great find!Beautiful dresser!

ReplyDeletewow! I am speachless :D
ReplyDeleteOh I know you are going to make this table gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great table, can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
What a fabulous table! Those blue hydrangeas would be lovely in the garden, but are a little dated on the table. Can't wait to see the after. That dresser is pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely!! And the recently-acquired table reminds me of the print on an old tablecloth my mom had. 1950s?
ReplyDeleteOh it's beautiful! Looking forward to the reveal!
ReplyDeleteDebbie :)
Hi Suzan!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember doing two night tables in that relief mode. It's kinda funny how the table has my most loved flowers on it.
The little dresser is beautiful!!! I love how the two first drawers are curved.
It'll be exciting to see what the table is going to look like!! That was nice of Kim to remember you and phone you up again!!
Have a great week my friend!!

How fun - I love it when things like that happen! I'm thinking it's about time for something like that to happen to me! LOL!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a terrific job on that dresser - I've been eyeing it in the Annie Sloan book just waiting to see if someone out there did there version.
ReplyDeleteNow where can I find people calling me with cute furniture like that table?
Thanks Heather - knock off artist at your service LOL
DeleteXOX
What a tease - wait until tomorrow!?! Love that dresser always. I am patiently waiting to see what happens to the bouquet of flowers table.
ReplyDeleteWow-amazing transformation!!

What a fabulous makeover ~ absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Mary Beth
Oh my gosh, Suzan! You did an amaaaazing job on that dresser, girl! Looks just Annie's!!! Betcha you'll be publishing your OWN book soon! lol Can hardly wait to see what you do with that sweet drop leaf. I've got two of them in my basement ~ one is my craft table (carefully shrouded in wood, newspaper and a sheet), and one holding summer cushions for the porch furniture. :)
ReplyDeleteLuv ya!
xoxo laurie
Love it, love it so much. What fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the dresser! And that drop leaf table, how great! It's amazing to note that furniture never really goes out of style, just the treatments we apply to them.
ReplyDeleteP.s. I thought there were little pink bugs all over my screen, until I realized they were coming from the martini glass, lol! Almost threw my laptop across the room!!
Can't wait to see what you do with the table. Although it would be hard for me to paint over those beautiful flowers. I love the dresser and am going to have to look at the tutorial and try those dandelions my self. hugs Tobey
