Annie Sloan ....................and I

I have the photo here of my inspiration for the artwork on one of my dressers - I really have to get my act together here - this is one hell of a confusing blog - I am all over the place!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is Annie Sloans dresser ( Annie Sloan is a british designer who has created her own line of paints -
the most amazing paint on the planet )


and once again - the last time I swear - you must be sick to death of seeing it really

hmmm..........is this the same?

very very similar - mine has more curves on the upper drawers - but it is the same wood -
anyways the first one is listed on Kijiji as being from 1890 - which sounds about right from
the history I read on Larkin Co. - they are asking.....................drum roll
$1100.00!!!!!!!!!!!
So went searching again - my God some of them are asking 1500 and up - they are apparently
quite valuable -
Of course mine is painted - which diminishes the value of a true antique - but I really had no choice,
it would have had to been restored professionally it was so bad.
But still, there must be great potential here in getting a good price!
I'm thinking between 500 and 600 ( maybe ) have to think about this one.
Did I mention I paid 20.00 for it?
