Flip Flop

I just found these pictures and I thought I would share.

My daughter called me one day and told me she found a large pile of discarded furniture sitting on the curb.  In a situation like this, timing is critical. 

I grabbed my husband (he’s the  muscles in the family) and we drove both SUV’s to maximize cubic space.

Woo baby.  We ended up loading both cars to the gills!  We even had to move the front seat to the full upright position and loaded it up too.

This dining set was our best catch of the day.  So my daughter and I decided to split all expenses (scratch remover and new fabric for seats)and then we would split the profits.

Needless to say, it sold in one day!

Vintage Dresser Done!

I’ve been painting like a mad woman all weekend.  Finally, I’m back at my day job on Monday so that I can get some rest (did I say that?).

I finished this chest of drawers over the weekend and the companion dresser should be done in a day or two after I get around to giving it a coat of poly.

I can’t get enough of retro hardware…a lot of thought and imagination was put into creating all those cool circular, ameba, and boomerang shapes!  I gave these tarnished brass pulls a fresh coat of brushed nickel.  

Here’s a before shot of the chest.  Check back later to see my plans for repurposing the matching full size headboard.  (It won’t be a headboard for much longer!)
