HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anybody ever seen handles installed this way? ( inside of the drawer ) that is not a screw in
the middle - it's looks like a rivet


this is on the inside - where you would normally see a screw or a bolt - I've never seen this in my life -
the drawers are also the thickest I have ever seen - at least 2 inches wide

that's not just a "lip" of the drawer front - it's the actual drawer front - THICK -

and the pulls are so pretty that I want to spray paint ( spraint, remember that, lol ) them


sorry for such crappy photos - but my batteries are running low so the camera keeps shutting
down - I'm snapping these as fast as I can, lol

Anyways - I tried using a wrench - I've even tried pliers - they don't budge - this particular
piece of furniture is Fine High End furniture - and it's like they were attached for life - has
anyone had experience with this?

I so don't want to try to paint around these.............................
But if I have to I'll do what Annie Sloan does and simply paint the drawers and handles all together:(((

Anyone? Sending this message out to the universe in hopes someone out there can help me out!!!

oh - and I'm going to share another one of my OCD patterns - has anyone ever noticed that I always
put 3 x's for my kisses?  Or that I always use 3 exclamation points? or 3 frowns or 3 smiles?
that's because I have 3 kids - can you believe that??? ( ha ha ha )
I try to put 1 or 2 sometimes and simply can't do it...................

And why would I share that with anyone?
Some things you can be buried with and no one would ever be the wiser
Here's to making all of you just a little bit wiser,

Once upon a time there was an ugly armoire


Meet Patience, everyone!!!



That stood in an old second hand shop window - filled with filthy plastic Elvis Presley paraphernalia
How much is that Armoire in the window ( you know the tune of that song, right? ) the lady sang out.
The Armoire's heart began beating - could this be the one?  Would someone finally be taking her
home and show her a little love?  Or would this be another disappointing window shopper -
Wait a minute.....................she's negotiating....................now she's having a discussion with her
better half about how they can actually get me home.........................AND YES................money
is being transferred between hands......................



  MY NEW APPLIQUES!!!
 
MY PAINTED DETAILS


I'VE BEEN MONOGRAMMED - I'M HERE TO STAY!!!


MY CROWNING GLORY!
 
MY LEGS HAVE BEEN WAXED!!!  AREN'T THEY SEXY?

 
EVERY LADY NEEDS A LITTLE BLING


MY SKIRT



AND I'M DONE!!!
I FEEL PRETTY - AND WITTY AND -

OK BE QUIET ALREADY -  YOU'RE AN ARMOIRE, NOT MY OFFSPRING.

The End.....................

BTW - bought this last summer and just got around to finishing it now so she does have patience.
And that is what she will be known as from here on in...............
No wonder she's singing

this is too hilarious - because I giggle sometimes when I write up my posts - and so I just read the post to John thinking it was cute -  he actually put his head in his hands and shook it and then dead serious he said to me " I think you're off the wall, you know - what the hell kind of post is that?"

It's my kind of post John, it's mine..........................
