A couple of weeks ago John, my mother and I went out for a bite to eat - and beside the restaurant was a tiny little dilapidated second hand shop - selling mostly old Elvis paraphelia - I have come so far, there
was a time when I would have never even thought to walk into a place like this. It was bad, really really bad,
no place to walk - mayhem - but in the back of the store they were using this to house some old broken ornaments
and I bought it on the spot, well after a bit of negotiating.
They did not want to sell it at all - but I told them it was being wasted hidden in the back
of a shop filled with dust and blah blah blah...............and said it deserved to be restored.
It's in pretty rough shape, the veneer is coming loose everywhere in the front - and there is
no glass in the door - and the door itself is a little warped - but oh the potential. The moldings
are so pretty - and I am kind of glad they painted them in a blue color - so that you can actually
see them in the pic - ( they will not remain blue - I find it hideous )
This will be my last purchase for awhile - things are just not selling right now - perhaps after
the holidays.
Will post the after as soon as I finish ( got to submit something to Debbiedoo's blog!!!! )
