Furniture Window Shopping ( here we go again )

HAPPY NEW YEAR - FIRST AND FOREMOST !!!

As you know I'm constantly on the look out for pieces of furniture - here's a few items I spotted that stand out as exceptional ( in my little mind lol )
Some I love for the purpose they were built - but some I imagine repurposing altogether.

Isn't this gorgeous ?  I absolutely LOVE the hutch ( I love all of it - but the hutch stands out, doesn't it? )
I don't care what style of home you live in - this would fit !

This next unit was listed for FREE !!!!!!!!!!

I would have turned this into a bathroom vanity - with all that storage - paint it - add a mirror and a sink in the middle and it would be perfect, don't you think?

However, had I known about this in time I would have grabbed it just for the cabinets alone - painted them black - added shelves and put them in my kitchen !

I think this piece would be gorgeous painted black and distressed ! ( so much so that I'm seriously contemplating it ) and filled with books - old books - new books - torn books - just books

I could see this being a really cool bar ( painted of course lol ) circa Mad Men !

Mojita anyone?

A mini hutch - painted - distressed and filled with mason jars ( to hold herbs and spices !!! ) 

An electric fire place - I want to grab this and paint it so bad - which I can because I bit the bullet and bought it !  The seller was kind enough to meet my price.

I think it's beautiful and could so easily look like a built in unit

With a pull out shelf 

It'll either go in the office or dining room - neither of which has been worked on yet - so we'll just have to see.  Knowing me it'll be moved up and down until I get it right LOL

The dining room would be great because I can store dishes in the upper cabinet and use the pull out as a sideboard when having dinners - 

( AND a fireplace in the dining room wouldn't be too shabby ! ) 

It would also be great in the office - to store office supplies - and then I could work on the blog with a little ambience.

Pretty details on the fireplace section

Suzan says - Do you think you could pick up a fireplace for me?

John says - What the hell?  How many fireplaces does one house need? 

John says - IT'S TOO MUCH - YOU WON'T LISTEN TO ME BUT IT'S TOO MUCH

Suzan says -  Phhhtttt - you can never have too many fireplaces.................

But secretly maybe he's right this time?

We have this one in the den ( which now has an electric fire in front of it - we still have to insert it )

There's the gas fireplace in the living room

and the " faux " one we built for the bedroom 

So I guess I have to admit that this is borderline obsessive now - 

BUT it's an old cottage - doesn't that lend itself to fireplaces everywhere?

Especially one that can look so old and " stately " ?

For 75.00 ?

Looks like 2015 is going to be pretty much the same as 2014 - 

Let the arguing begin !

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope your year is filled with Health - Peace - Happiness and Prosperity - in that order

Love you all

Hugs,

Me
