Signed, sealed, delivered

Finished  and sold!!!
And delivered?
This customer requested that the dresser be delivered to her - normally customers pick up or we drop off to the consignment shop at our convenience because we have a car not a truck - and so we are going to have to strap it to the top of the roof because it doesn't fit in the trunk - and roll up to her house like the Beverly Hillbillies - ( picture me as a slightly older version of Ellie May pls - I cannot bear the thought of you thinking of me as Granny - )

UPDATE - we have the loan of a truck - so delivery will be a little more dignified, lol

So once again here is the before


and after


and close ups of the details

love her legs if you think I'm sexy - and you want my body



the porcelain handle detail matches the detail on the drawer - great great find from the Restore


bottom skirting

drawer interiors - stencilled on with silver craft paint
 thought this should be spelled with one L ? but spell check highlighted it so what do I know
I'm Ellie May remember? Ain't had much schoolin' lol




stencil details - stencil is from the dollar store - another great find




before the stencilling

AND THE LAST PHOTO OF THE DAY

ASCP - Antoinette - and Old White
Chosen by a 12 year old girl who
talked her Mom into buying it for her
before it was even transformed!
Does this child have vision or what?
Her Mom's an interior designer - so the
apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

SO...............think I'll wrangle a possum or two for dinner tonight - ( with grits )
have to wake Jethro up now ( hmm maybe he's more of a Jed )

and now it's time to say goodbye to Sue and all her kin
and they would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in
you're all invited back next week to this locality
to have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.


Y'ALL COME BACK NOW,
YOU HEAR?

( you do know you'll be humming this all day, right? )

Not enough love????

I put as much love into every piece I do to sell as I would for a pc I would keep - usually even more because I tend to take shortcuts when it's just for my house.
I always go the extra mile with interiors, little touches etc..............so when a piece doesn't sell I feel it's because I didn't do something right - I can't help but take it personal.

So when I bought this piece, I thought " Oh this is going to be so beautiful when I'm finished - and perfect for a young girls room "

sorry photo is so dark - 

and turned it into this



1 hour after I listed it someone asked if they could come see it - and then the next day told me they had found another one ( and thanked me for the idea of painting it - so I suppose they got it much cheaper )
So - last night I put a little more love into it and came up with this

painted it pink - 

painted detail around edges


detail around the mirror base




I hope it sells now because I'm " all out of love "

And that's all she wrote. ( for today!!! )

Hugs,
Suzanna Anna Danna
