Antique dresser to makeover!!!

Here's the newest one coming Tomorrow afternnon - there appears to be a significant amount of damage on the bottom molding - but will have a better assessment of that when it gets here.
( Does that sound completely professional or what ??? )
I can still " fake " it LOL

At least the top looks in pretty good condition

and she comes with her crown completely in tact..................
at least I don't have to fake that like I did HERE

what do you think?
isn't she a beauty?

It kind of compensates for the fact that I was too late to get these

60.00 for the both of them - and the seller had just sold them 5 minutes before I contacted him...............
OK - I'M GOING TO REPEAT THAT - JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY.
60.00 for the both of them - and the seller had just sold them a couple of minutes before I contacted him...............

I saw the ad - and had to pee - couldn't hold it in for even 5 more seconds - so ran to the bathroom - ran back and contacted them.
Apparently I was the second one to call.
Maybe it's a good thing - had I known I may have peed my pants and called right away................

Some things are just not meant to be I suppose!!!

But still - I'm going to buy a box of depends for the nights I'm cruising Craig's list - just in case.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone - no post tomorrow - but I'll be here bright and early Monday morning

UPDATE: SHE'S ARRIVED IN ALL HER SPLENDOR!!!!!!!!!

Care to see some details???

When taking a break pays off!

I needed a little break yesterday from painting - just a little one - a half hour one to be precise - hmmm - what could I do in those 30 minutes?
I could do my nails.
I could take a power nap.
I could walk the dog.
I could make my bed ( shameful I know )
I could take a bath.
I could whip up a batch of cookies.
OR.....................I could go on Craigs List and find ( and buy ) this!

does anyone else see what I see here? I'm swooning so much it's hard to type -

It's ok kitty - you'll get over it - and stop trying to put the "evil eye" on it - it won't work!

Ok the adrenalin is flowing - I've got tons of energy all of a sudden so off to finish what I'm painting now.
I CANNOT wait to get my hands on this set though - it's not common to find pieces like this here in the city!
Doesn't she just scream Southern Belle?
Her name is Scarlett by the way ( in case you were wondering ) she may not look like her name now - but she will - she most definitely will. By the time I'm finished with her, she will be known to one and all as Miss O'Hara.

THINK PINK ( a princess dresser )

Once upon a time.......................
I found this on Craig's list

and saw such amazing potential - we got it home and I quickly turned it into this

using ( my almost signature color at this point ) a mix of ASCP Duck Egg Blue and Old White - and the drawers in Pure White - ( sorry the photo doesn't show the handles )
and then I waited
and I waited
and I waited some more
until it became quite obvious that no one else loved it as much as I did and she definitely was not going to the ball

so last night I did a quick transformation - and I really am hoping someone loves it as much as I do - because I have to get rid of this baby! Is it fit for a princess do you think?
