Oh the irony of it all.......................

For some reason a very large amount of my dressers go to new parents - and I take it as such a compliment it's so flattering to think that one of my pieces is special enough to go in a room where life is just beginning - where people want to fill the space with special things - it doesn't get much better than that for appreciation!

Here are some items that now live in little girl's bedrooms

this is the ensemble that lives in Harlow's room now

I wish Michael and Jessica would send me photo's of Harlow and of her bedroom - they have the most beautiful taste..................

Believe it or not - the below sideboard was purchased last month for a changing table - isn't that an awesome idea ( and I, who is constantly reinventing things, would never have thought of it ) the Dad is going
to remove the wine racks in the middle so they can store baby items - I think it's just brilliant!

this next one was sold to a couple who wanted to create a " country " bedroom for their little one

This was bought for Ava - all grown up at 3 years old when it was purchased for her!!! ( and probably my favorite make over by far! )

The couple that bought the below pieces for their little girl -

also bought this for her - the Anne of Green Gables dresser - they had just bought a farm house

The next piece John told me would never sell - it sold - as a changing table ( the top knobs were not installed yet in the pic but they were glass ones too! )

the next one was for a girly room  ( diamonds are a girl's best friend )

and last month I sold my bedroom dresser ( when I decided to do a makeover in my bedroom ) someone purchased this to use as a ?

a changing table..................

that's a sampling of what has been sold for babies rooms.

and here's where the irony comes in - NOT ONE OF THEM WAS PAINTED WITH A BABY IN MIND!!!

so I may have gotten a little " cocky " and may have thought " hey I'm on to something here " and I may have started painting furniture with babies in mind!

but the actual ones I DID paint with a baby in mind HAVE NOT SOLD LOL

this one sits at  Piorra Maison  ( my friend Caroline's beautiful store ) with tons of interest but no bites -
it's time to repaint it, very soon

This set is 5 minutes away from being redone

and this one was changed to a Montreal Subway Art dresser for our bedroom

Go figure.......................just go figure.

Have a wonderful Monday all!

Most of you know my daughter is getting married at the end of June - she's decided she wants to do a " themed " wedding ( dear God ) with everyone dressing up in their favorite era - so...............I'm thinking 60's.  Here's a few inspirations I've been looking at................and a few mood boards I created

                                          When I think of 60's elegance, I think of Jackie O
                                                                              Chic?

                                            My heart keeps coming back to this - a lot

                                                                     in the end - if I'm going 60's
                                                                I could end up moseying in like this

                                                                All I know for certain is I don't want
                                                                       to end up looking like this

Decisions, decisions, decisions,

Have a happy Saturday all
Hugs,

Partying with!
