It's always something...................

Good morning all!

We had a small crisis here yesterday morning - that completely resolved itself by the end of the day - nothing I can speak about - but since all's well that ends well - I don't NEED to!

In addition to the above crisis - last night,  the mirror that rests on my mantel decided it didn't like being there anymore -
seriously - it lunged over the mantel to it's death..............rather than just stay put AND it  missed me by a quarter of an inch


I was moving these chairs to the front door to deliver them to April's today and had just moved the last one.
OMG - I don't know what I would have done - really - can you imagine if I would have had to start over?
think I would rather have had it slice half my nose off ( which is too big anyway ) than have to start over on the chairs.


So another 7 years ?
Sigh..............

Have a good Tuesday all  :)

Hugs,

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!
