RUBY....................a dresser makeover

Meet Ruby 

You know her

Someone wrote a famous song about her once

You've painted up your knobs

and waxed and buffed your tinted drawers

Ruby are you contemplating running out the door ?

The shadows on the wall tells me the sun is going down

Oh Ruuuubbbby - don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that whole crazy chalk paint fad

But I was proud to restore all the pieces that I had

and yes it's true that I'm not the girl I used to be

Oh Ruby ..........................there's still creative sparks in me

It's hard to love someone who gives furniture the " eyes "

And the wants and the needs of a dresser your age
Ruby I realize

But it won't be long I've heard them say

Till wood comes back around

Oh Ruby -
Don't take your love to town..................................

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Emperor's silk - clear and dark wax
Kenny Rogers inspired song..................
Just so you know that although she was quite a bit of work - this whole dresser took 1/2 tin of
Emperor's silk -  HALF A TIN !!!!!!!!!!
Incroyable !!! ( I feel like getting all bilingual on you today )

Now excuse me - she's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door

the way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
and if I could move - I'd get my brush and paint her boring brown
oh Ruuuubbbyyyy -
for God Sakes TURN around ........................

I could have used Ruby Tuesday - since I actually painted her on Tuesday - either way it's all about her leaving me .....................

The lady is a tramp ( there you go - 3 songs in one post )
A perfect " Fall " color - because that's all I'm willing to do for Fall at this point lol
I'm NOT ready for it!
And I'll probably mention that in every single post until I am !

Have a wonderful day y'all !
I have some work to do on this beauty!

See you tomorrow - bright and early ♥
Much love,


Join me at these fabulous parties !
