Here's the newest one coming Tomorrow afternnon - there appears to be a significant amount of damage on the bottom molding - but will have a better assessment of that when it gets here.
( Does that sound completely professional or what ??? )
I can still " fake " it LOL
At least the top looks in pretty good condition
and she comes with her crown completely in tact..................
at least I don't have to fake that like I did HERE
what do you think?
isn't she a beauty?
It kind of compensates for the fact that I was too late to get these
60.00 for the both of them - and the seller had just sold them 5 minutes before I contacted him...............
OK - I'M GOING TO REPEAT THAT - JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY.
60.00 for the both of them - and the seller had just sold them a couple of minutes before I contacted him...............
I saw the ad - and had to pee - couldn't hold it in for even 5 more seconds - so ran to the bathroom - ran back and contacted them.
Apparently I was the second one to call.
Maybe it's a good thing - had I known I may have peed my pants and called right away................
Some things are just not meant to be I suppose!!!
But still - I'm going to buy a box of depends for the nights I'm cruising Craig's list - just in case.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone - no post tomorrow - but I'll be here bright and early Monday morning
UPDATE: SHE'S ARRIVED IN ALL HER SPLENDOR!!!!!!!!!

What a lovely piece to work on ! There are so much detail in the dresser :-) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find. I can hardly wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suze!!!
DeleteCan't wait to pick it up tomorrow !!!
XOX
Love the dresser and the mirror that goes with it is so pretty, I can't wait to see the makeover on it. It wasn't supposed to be...I always tell myself that when I'm like a second to late on something, the next piece of furniture for you will be awesome though!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an interesting dresser. Can't wait to see your final product!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun challenge ahead! I can't wait to see how you resolve the molding issue.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the legs on that piece....it's gonna be amazing! and I'll send some bad JuJu so maybe the first caller will be a no show! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine - but I have a feeling it didn't work LMHO..................
DeleteXOXOXO
She is a beauty! I can't believe the seller was letting those two gorgeous pieces go for sixty bucks! Amazing!!! Around here folks want sixty bucks for a piece of junk. Sorry you missed that deal, you could have turned them into showpieces. Have fun on your dresser...I can't wait to see it finished!

OH.MY.GOSH!! I will send you a box depends :) That is a bargain and they are lovely pieces!!
ReplyDeleteYou do good work Suzan.
ReplyDeleteWhy thanks Sir !!!!!!!!
DeleteXOXO
Wow! That's a beautiful piece. I can't believe the others were only $60.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Suzan. I can`t wait to see how it turnes out.
ReplyDeleteHugs from here
LOL on the Depends comment!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the one you got, it has a lot of potential and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
Wow! If it's this gorgeous before, I can't wait to see the after! Do you know where it was made? It looks kind of Indian-ish to me.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely has potential. No pressure, but could you repaint it before Monday (French time zone) so I can see it with my mom?
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! $60 for TWO...I say TWO pieces???? I can't even find them for less than $150 EACH in horrible condition. I'm cruising the mid-west this next week and had a hitch put on our car. If I find goodies, we'll be renting a trailer to load up! I'm anxious to see what you do with the lady with the sweet crown!
ReplyDeleteUNBELIEVABLE, right???
DeleteIt's like being one number off from winning a lottery LOL
That sounds like so much fun Camille - wish I were going with you :)
XOXO
You snooze, you lose. You pee, they flee??? Ok, so that needs work.
ReplyDeleteThey were great pieces of furniture. Your consolation prize looks great too. What colors do you have in mind? I would love to get my hands (and paintbrush) on that buffet! Dying of envy here.
LMHO Teri - You pee - they flee - you're too funny!!!
DeleteMaybe paris grey and old white?
Can't wait to get my hands on it!!!
XOXO
um, it is a dresser, not a buffet? sorry 'bout that. Oh, Paris Grey and Old White, definitely. Just like every other piece of furniture I paint. Well, almost.
DeleteThat's what I end up painting 90% of the time too Teri lol -
DeleteAnd I didn't even realize it until people started asking me if they were my signature colors - guess they are.................
And Yes it's a dresser - with a mirror :)
XOXO
Suzan, This will be a gorgeous piece when painted! Love the details.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sherry
Ooooo....pretty! I just picked up a gorg vanity with a mirror and chair, but the chair's caning is bye bye. Hopefully the helpful hubs can repair it. It looks kinda similar in style to your piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking blue on that bad boy? What are you're ideas?
Hey Suzan! My husband always gives me 'knowing looks' when those bladder control commercials come on. Hey! At least I make it to the bathroom :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed out on that fab pair, but you know, you'll have more money for next time!
Ceil
lol - I still make it to the bathroom too Ceil
DeleteFor now!
XOXO
What a great story. Those depends can come in handy at the most important instances, I tell ya! I can't wait to see that piece finished, she sure is going to be a beauty.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Can't wait to see what you do with that piece! and yes it sounds like a few depends on hand mgith not be a bad idea - LOL :)
ReplyDeleteDamn that need to pee. Everything happens when we go to the bathroom. The doorbell rings, the pizza is delivered, the phone rings, we miss sales... A visit to the bathroom shifts our lives...LOL...
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Suzan, you crack me up!! It is a shame you missed out on that deal, but I like the piece you scored. Okay, you need Depends for cruising Craig's List. I think I need them for when I read your blog, because I was laughing so hard, I thought I was going to have an accident!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you laughing at my misfortune Lynn???
DeleteLMHO - Depends should be sponsoring all of our blogs!!!!!!!!
Big hugs,
xxx
Well, on the plus side you didn't pee your pants. I love all of the details on the piece and the angles on the mirror!
ReplyDeleteLauren
I guess that's one way to look at it Lauren LMHO !!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteXOXO
OMG, get a catheter for Pete's sake. WTH???
ReplyDelete$60 for both - man! I can't find anything for less than $100 on CL these days and thats' for junk! So sorry you missed these but can't wait to see what you do with the buffet!
ReplyDeletei am suppose to be in bed but am quietly reading your post…so I though. that was hilarious on the depends!
ReplyDeletei forgot to add that now i am laughing so hard I woke my husband lol!
ReplyDeleteLying in bed here because my slipped discs are playing up. It hurts to laugh, and you made me laugh! You've also made me realise I need to pee. Getting up will hurt. Your posts should come with a health warning, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the new piece, and can't wait to see what you do with it.
Lol that's a whole new level of commitment I'm sure John will LOVE having you wear depends so you don't miss a bargain, lmho I do like the dresser you got though.
ReplyDeletecant wait to see what magic you will do to this one.Maybe red-love dee x
ReplyDeleteDepends..you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteOh, the second caller....I'm sick for you! Will you just re-finish the top or paint? It's gonna be spectacular!
ReplyDeleteOh, don't get Depends....just call from the loo next time!
ReplyDeleteI is gorgeous Suzan. I would love to paint that! FYI - the last piece I painted was minus one backplate. I just made a faux plate behind it with paint.
ReplyDeleteSUZAN!!! She is GORGEOUS! I hear ya on being late for the bid. Just last week I missed out on HUGE Joseph and Mary statues... in literally half an hour at my antique store. The owner forgot to call me...they usually do when they get that, and then some lady came in and put them on hold until the next day. So by the time I got there, I got to SEE them, but I couldn't HAVE them. And they priced them at $22 TOTAL. And this other brood is just going to resell them at some fleamarket. I cried. I cried for hours. I had never seen anything like them before...they were spectacular. The owner was so upset that they forgot to call me b/c they knew this Attila the Hun who comes in all the time would just sell them off too and I would've given them a home. You do a good job on your dresser, and I know you'll make her extra special!
ReplyDeleteohmygoodness!!! my mom had that "$60 china cabinet & buffet" (or ones VERY similar!) when i was growing up!!!! my brother has them now. i wish you had gotten the ones you were looking for. that would have been so cool!!!
ReplyDeletei've been taking a break all summer from blogging & reading blogs -- getting caught up now - or starting too. i've missed you!!!!
Omg!! 60 for both!! I would have cried like a sissy!!
