I told you so, John!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember this dresser?


Where John told me it was too specific ( or something like that anyway - the original post is HERE )

It sold on the weekend - so I really do not need an agent after all lol - a young couple bought it for there soon to be born daughter -  I am always overly thrilled when my pieces make it into nurseries - and for some reason most of them do - often for the first born - weird coincidence?

And then my country pieces - which were listed 2 weeks ago


 Suddenly had a lot of interest!
 A young couple from Ontario ( again expecting a baby girl ) called and asked me to hold them for them
 until next weekend when they can drive in to pick them up

 AND after I agreed, 3 more interested parties contacted me for them ( it never rains - but it pours )
 but they belong to the first couple -
 Along with this


won't this make the cutest baby's room????  If I remember properly I think the couple have just bought an old farmhouse - or country house -

And an update on that dresser I'm working on - all " dirtied " up



but still not finished lol - I really am taking my time on this one!

Oh and Lindsay from Better After featured my Country Sunshine - thanks so much Lindsay - this makeover has given me more hits than anything else I've done - 12 features are very humbling ( and absolutely thrilling )


Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend - mine was near perfect - pickin on Saturday - partying on Sunday - dinner with my daughters on Monday - ( near perfect and not perfect because my Son couldn't join us )

An Oops Makeover

Just a quick ( boring ) post ( because I have to get ready for a corn roast that we've been invited to!!! )

Remember this little table that I picked up for 10.00? ( you can read post HERE )




I looked at this and HATED it - look at my poor little white stripes ( all I can say about this is I was exhausted when I was working on it - a dangerous thing obviously lol )  there was nothing to do except sand the entire top down and start over - in an entirely different direction.......................
but something magical happened in the sanding process - and I ended up stopping when I realized it was exactly how ( I thought ) it was meant to look from the beginning!




I painted out the body of the table in white to contrast the drawer and the bottom shelf -







Except for possibly a little distressing on the legs, it's DONE - on to bigger and better things ( which I'll only work on with the proper amount of sleep!
