Shabby Little Vanity

I've always made it a habit not to advertise the price I pay for things.....
It's just not good business.

I will tell, however, this piece was a "song".
Maybe because it should have really been on the curb
Instead of given to charity for someone like me to buy.

Dark wood....in several pieces, but with good bones.




The mirror was there...in good shape
and
that was a definite bonus.

The drawer was in pieces and had to be rebuilt,
but my man can do anything.


I'm probably one of the only ones left in this world
That doesn't use all the new paints on the market.
No chalk paint, no milk paints....

Just plain old flat wall paint
with a coat of light brown floor wax on top.

Still works for me :)


Thanks for stopping by today,
You know I love it when you come.

This week I am joining the following parties:

Chair Bones

One of the things I am liking right now
happens to be what I call "chair bones"

Strip all the old upholstery from an antique chair....
Leave the burlap, springs, and webbing...
And you're good to go.
It retains it's strength and can be used as normal.
I'm really like this piece....
and
evidently so does Punkin......if I didn't have animals everywhere,
well, my life just wouldn't be normal.




Thanks for stopping by today....
My life is really crazy right now,
and
I love it when you come.
