Her Crowning Glory ( and another one arrived )

Good morning all!

I finally finished the mirror that goes with the princess

chalk paint, custom color, creating, duck egg, old white, dresser, princess, antique

I had this old mirror that I've tried to imagine on many many pieces - but it was usually just a little too large
( this dresser is wider then it appears )

Suzan says - John where's that shield shaped mirror
John says - Aw come on - you're not going to stick that on top of this dresser?
John says - You'll ruin it
John says - I don't know why you bought it - it looks like a horses A$$
Suzan says - can you bring it upstairs please?

Mirror, dresser, chalk paint, white, dresser, makeover

Now those of you with eyes that actually work - will notice the 2 sides are not the same on the bottom part of my mirror -
Being someone who's eyes DO NOT work - I never noticed it - even as I painted it - I never noticed it until the next day actually -
How is that possible, you ask?
I don't have a clue - but it's a little scary, don't you think?

It was a very quick fix - John sawed off some wood on one side to make them the same...........

chalk paint, mirror, before, after, makeover, dresser, princess

ahhh that's better - now what do you think - I personally think it looks like a crown
and not what John thinks at all - who's on my side on this one?

duck egg blue, antique, makeover, chalk paint, montreal

and we picked up this pretty little thing

As I type this I haven't seen it in person yet -
but I couldn't resist...............

Have a great Thursday - one and all!
Much love,

Suzan

Do I need an agent?

Ok here we go - another one finished ( oh please let someone like it enough to buy it!!! - I have to win this arguement - I just have to )

Suzan says - ( with great excitement ) come look - I'm finished - do you like it?

John says - You make things too personal

Suzan says - But surely someone else will like it as much as I do?

John says - You should be gravitating towards a more " general " audience

Suzan says - I don't like " general "

John says - But you're narrowing your customer base - your items are getting

too specific

Suzan says - Did I say I needed an agent? I don't recall saying I needed an agent?

Are you offering your services as an agent?

John says - Forget it Suzan, just do what you want, ok?

Suzan says - I always do John, sigh, I always do....................

Suzan says - please do not speak to me for the rest of the day

John says - I've no intentions of doing so.

and 10 minutes later

Suzan says - what would you like for dinner

John says - maybe steaks would be nice.

Suzan says - you don't like my dresser, do you?

John says - it's too customized - it's too specific - it's too

Suzan says - Did I say I needed an agent?

Suzan says - do you want fries or mashed with your steak..................

Suzan says - the last time I did this pattern it sold in a day.

John says - let's drop the subject, shall we?

Domestic bliss? Fuggedaboudit........................I'd find it boring anyway!

Here we go - sorry no before on this one -

Annie Sloan - Duck egg blue ( with versailles peaking through here and there ) and Pure White.

Clear Wax

John says - Why do you have keys on the salt and pepper tray?

Suzan says - because I like how it looks - and I may keep it for a key tray - does that upset

the balance of our life in some degree?

John says - It's PEWTER and PORCELAIN for God's Sakes - you're going to destroy it

Suzan says - relax ex - lax it's just for the photos

John says - NOTHING - THIS IS A FIRST - JOHN SAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Oh look at that - 2 handles are missing - lol - couldn't even wait till I installed them to take the photos,

Off to find the drill - not even going to think of asking for help on this one.

But I'm going to make him an extra special dinner this evening - sometimes he deserves extra special

living with me.
He really is a saint - albeit a grumpy one at times - but a saint none the less.

I'm making the rounds - and partying with these gracious hostesses ( with the mostesses )
