A Little girls room


The client came by tonight to pick up the rocking horse and fell in love with these 2 pcs -
and wants them ( desperately ) so is trying to configure his baby's room to fit them all!

He is the one that bought the previous dresser ( the one I had 5 offers on!!!!! )

I offered to repaint the first one so that he could put it somewhere else - for free,
I know all about customer service don't you know and he is a wonderful customer for
me -

Off to pull out another pc - have a new color of paint being shipped to me and am
very excited - because so far I have been using the same colors over and over -
and as I tend to get obsessed about things - it's time to force myself to shake it up
a little.

Charming desk

Here is the latest piece for sale -
It is soooo charming - reminiscent of an old school desk - but with far more detail 
Again in Paris Grey and Old White - this combination is really beautiful - and It's
fast becoming my new obsession............

I love desks - for some reason they stir up visuals for me - especially the old antique ones,
I imagine a lady ( never a man ) sitting and writing letters to friends ( pen pals? ) their long
dresses draping on the floor beneath them, using an inkwell - I even have the desks
placed in front of windows in my mind so that they can gaze wistfully out as they
think of what to write.

I have 2 more desks in storage to do and don't think I will ever tire of this.
Maybe physically - but never mentally - too strong an emotional connection
to beautiful things with a history.

Another dresser gets done tomorrow - and then....................

I am going to attempt my Union Jack dressers tomorrow -
This is going to be more of a challenge for me I think!
