Just when I think I've run out of things to fix up or alter He directs my path to a new source. I just want to say "Thanks".
OK! Now for some pictures, yes, I have some before pictures this time...
This is the before pic and it isn't too bad but up close there is a lot of damage ...
and Tim had to totally reconstruct the top and some of the drawers, the drawers on old dressers are always a challenge...but I think they are worth it.
So we did some match making with this piece.. I had this foot board from a youth bed I got at auction last Summer...I didn't know what I would do with it but I knew I loved the piece so I bought both head and foot boards.
Isn't that a sweet pattern?
and here it is all painted and sooooooooo pretty in white but then oops, the sides had a lot of damage that would have required more work than I was prepared to do so I came up with the idea of decoupaging something on the sides my first thought was tissue paper or floral paper napkins...not one store in town had anything i could use, humm,what to do?
Lace, lace, beautiful lace, now this piece is shabby and oh so chic if I do say so myself.
Waiting to find a new home, soon I hope.
This is the before of a step back cupboard that just needed a little attention, however I gave it a lot,my first choice was to paint it red, and that was ugly, so my next choice was black and here are the results of that
Now ready to go to the shop, this has been a busy week. And that's all for now
So, From my porch to yours...
Have a blessed week...
Oh, how I wish I had the room for that dresser!!! I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteAnd, you're right - I have heard before that we tend to give God our troubles after we've covered them in scratch marks. That we only give to Him when it seems we've lost our way; but if we gave to Him from the start, we could see the way He's made for us...
Thanks for the reminder...
Love you!
