A Work In Progress


I've started working on the buffet. The transformation is already pretty amazing. I decided to paint the inside turquoise- just because I think it adds some uniqueness & because turquoise is a happy color. So it will be a bit of sunshine everytime you open it.

Elated about my finds today!!!!







Football season has started- my Sooners are ahead of the Florida State Seminoles, it's no longer 105 degrees & I found some amazing things today! What more could a girl ask for??? I have several people asking for specific pieces of furniture, so I've been on the lookout. It's hard to find any time to furniture shop between teaching & my boys' soccer practices though. Well today, this beautiful, curvy dresser called my name. She was sitting in the entry of a Habitat for Humanity garage door opening- all but taunting me. She has a few bumps & dings, lot of scratches, some traces of paint that has been dropped, and of course- stickers stuck to her that have seen better days. I couldn't possibly leave without her! She will be going home with someone who asked for a dresser for their little girl's room. I believe she will be painted green to compliment a pink room :)



The buffet was just really cool with great details- no top, but will look great as a tv table or used as a buffet. I am thinking cream with some great turquoise hardware??? I'll post more pics when I finish...
