Pink and white and read all over?

Today is my second installment guest posting over at The Inspiration Cafe where I show that little antique table that fell into my lap

Head on over to see how it went from this

to this

to this

with a little bit of tape - and a cup of tea with bubbles...................
it goes from  a changing table - to a work area - to a games table for a little girls room!

I'm quite late this morning - almost forgot to post this entirely!!!
Have a great one - see you tomorrow for I WANNA live there - it won't disappoint - promise!!!

Thanks so much for the following feature!!!

Some things just fall into your lap.........

I received an email a few weeks ago from a name that seemed familiar but that I just couldn't place............
It turned out to be a someone we had purchased a dresser from last year and had another piece she thought
I'd be interested in -
YES PLEASE

just a little dated - I can remember when that type of relief was in vogue big time though
but ooh la la I couldn't wait to get my hands on this piece
I've wanted to do a drop leaf table for a long time now - kept waiting to find one - but never, not for one moment, imagined one would just fall from the sky like this!!!

I have BIG plans for this sweetheart - isn't she just crying out for a little love?

Here's the last piece I bought from Kim - about a year and a half ago

 and I promptly stole an idea from Annie Sloan ( in one of her books )  this is Annie's masterpiece

she's amazing right?

this was my version copying her tutorial from the book.
using old white - some dark wax - and clear wax to finish

I'm loving it all over again - and think I'll do this soon to another dresser - makes me think of Spring!

 In the meantime I'll have a post up tomorrow on that flowery table - painted and reinvented.
 Thanks so much for the feature!!!
