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!!!

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

EVERY LADY NEEDS A LITTLE BLING
MY SKIRT
AND I'M DONE!!!
I FEEL PRETTY - AND WITTY AND -
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..........................

OMG! You are too funny! I do the same thing and my hubby thinks Im crazy. I loved every bit of it:) And that armoir!! Beautiful!! I just started a little shelf to put cute blankets and such on and I can inly hope it will be as classy as yours!! Love it. Thanks for coming over and I am now your newest follower too:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a you kind of post Suzan. All you.
ReplyDeleteI love your post! Sometimes I crack myself up too. The armoire is a terrific storage piece for your linens. I too am on the lookout for something like that because I have no linen closet on the main floor of my house. Yours turned out great, and I really like the two colors and the monogram. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteI like this post. I was giggling while reading this because it reminds me of myself. I love this armoire. It is beautiful and there is so much you can do with it, great find.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Perfect, imagine, you also can use it as a book shelf or everything you want, perfect, simply perfect
ReplyDeletehttp://marinainblue.blogspot.com.es/
I get it. I get your post. Because we do infuse personality to our pieces. She's a gorgeous gal!!!
ReplyDeleteFollowing you...enjoyed looking at your before and afters
ReplyDeleteYour armoire is wonderful ... love the shades you painted it.
ReplyDeleteVery funny ... Love it and you did a beautiful paint job on her. Husbands sometimes hate to admit that we are funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me at Timeless Treasures. I will be a new follower for you and come back for more entertainment.
Blessings,
Audrey Z.
Love, love, love it! Much better than before.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE it!!! I have been seeing a lot of these on Craigslist lately & some call them " Bride's Cabinets "--I call yours BEAUTIFUL and extremely brilliant the way you are using it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much - I've never heard it called that before - but love it!
DeleteHugs,
So sweet looking!
ReplyDeletethanks 8)(8 for dropping by!
DeleteOh my gosh! You are a stinkin' riot! Love the armoire and loved every word of your post - too cute!! What do husband's know anyway - lol! Shelly Andrade

Oh she is a beauty that deserves to sing! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteJan
That is gorgeous!! I love the colors you picked.
ReplyDelete-Peggy
Too funny! She looks wonderful with her new paint job.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Debbiedoos.
She is a doll, for sure. I just love all of the classy adornments and the colours are to die for. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI have an armoire/china cabinet just like this one and I've been dying to get my hands on it for a makeover. Yours looks FANTASTIC! Nice job. I love the color combination and the monogram. Well done! Thank you for taking the time to link it up at Transformation Tuesday at The Ironstone Nest. Come back again! XO Laura
ReplyDeleteTell him that furniture does have its own soul...its own history...and maybe, just maybe, your armoire was a singer in a past life! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this piece..so curvaceous and fancy. Yet such a simple beauty. Perfect.
Stop by and say hi sometime...I just found you through the newbie party!
Hugs, Angie

Came over from DIY to see the armoire. Beautiful job! I name all my pieces that I transform - it gives them personality and leads me in the right direction to choose paint colors. But you are in too deep when you put your monogram on something - it will stay forever! She turned out very sexy and classy at the same time - hard to do!
ReplyDeleteDistressed Donna Down Home
Just stunning!!! I ♥ it! Found you at DIY Dreamer and I'm now a follower. Would love to have you stop by for a visit! Happy 4th ~ Judy
ReplyDeleteROFLOL!!!!! The Hubby does me that way, too.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS armoire!! You did a wonderful job!!
I love this! I keep searching in hopes of finding something awesome like this that I can redo. I want a hutch for my dining room, but not a humongous hutch, so I'm still searching. Something like this would probably work great.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! I'd love for you to link this up to my party. http://www.jamscorner.com/search/label/Monday%20Party
Have a great evening!
Julie
Great post! And your armoire turned out lovely!

Wow isn't it amazing what some paint can do for a piece of furniture. I'm just beginning to do some of this to furniture too.
ReplyDeleteI love it! The monogram is awesome and I like the gray details. You saved it from a life of Elvis and looking sad!
ReplyDeleteyes, I know that song and I'm so glad you gave this poor thing a home! It turned out just perfectly! really really pretty all loaded up. Thanks for coming to our party!
ReplyDeleteTell hubby it's the kind of post that picks up new readers! I'm following you now. It could also be because of the amazing job you did on that piece! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. Really. Your appliques and monogram add the perfect touch to an already beautiful piece of furniture. Can't get better than this!
ReplyDeletei am totally in LOVE with this piece! I am thinking of doing something similar to my bedroom furniture..

I loved your post and adore the gorgeous cabinet. But I chuckled when I read about your husband because I could see his reaction clearly in my mind. Too funny.
