I know I shouldn't be checking on Craig's list but.......................

I'm overwhelmed with things to finish - space is a real problem so I know I should stay away for now - BUT
I saw this on CL last night -


Look at the details on the side posts - this piece is what my dreams are made of - what I could do with this!
Isn't it special?
Can you guess what they are asking?
This is a true antique piece so guess wisely...................

If you guessed 150.00 WRONG
If you guessed 100.00 WRONG
Ok - I guess I could do this for awhile - because it's free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell?
I didn't think this was possible - who simply gives something like this away?

I offered 50.00 for it because I am a big spender, lol - a little incentive I figured -
but I doubt they will even see my email - since I was number 63 - and why would
they go through that many ( I never would )
Last time I looked there were 579 hits for it.

You see what happens when I listen to John - he told me to stay off of it until we had
made some room for more...................

Oh yeah, and these are free also,


Twin toilets - oh what I could do with them, lol - I would paint them in Paris Gray and cream -

I would love to come home with them and keeping a very serious face explain to John that I was
going to restore them - paint them - and make a lot of money on these beauties..............I swear
to God it would be worth it just to see his reaction ( I suppose I need a life when I envision something
like that as entertaining? )

Have a good one all,

before and after french provincial dresser

BEFORE  ok -but a little boring - and awful handles




AFTER







this is the "truest" color match from my camera







I bought 4 glass handles for the top 2 drawers - and could not find anything I liked for the bottom - so
I " stole " them from the buffet / hutch I purchased last week - ( since I will be changing those as well ) and
painted them from brass to silver.

I used ASCP - old white - and the blue is a mix of duck egg and old white - my favorite color so far.

Listing it tomorrow - wish me luck - the weather is so nice that I'm thinking people will be in a spring
cleaning - decorating - changing rooms frame of minds, and I so see this piece in a nursery. ( that seems
to be a recurring theme of mine I think, lol )
