That's right!!...Another party...this time a Make Over Open House, hosted by
Jen from "Sanctuary Arts at Home"Sometimes we get very frustrated when people just throw away their stuff
...their nice, old, "good bones" stuff!!!
and we say ...Oh well, if you don't want it...
We'll just "have" to stop the truck, dive in your dumpster, embarrass our kids again, and take home your "I don't want it anymore stuff"!!!! Last Monday was one of those days...
We lost the before pictures of our side-of-the-road-treasure, but here is a couple of the drawers.
We are sure you can imagine the rest, right?
Clara found it, so Clara works on it...we have some very strict rules around here!...
with the help of her new love Kilz Spray......
and her best friend Martha, yes Stewart, who provided the most beautiful and dreammy shade of pale blue, she transformed it into this...
Glass knobs, 2DIE4 accessories and the "Little Dresser that Could" is finished...
We wonder if the person that left it in the Lowe's parking lot could recognize it now...oh well, after all, it's just a good maple, very well constructed dresser that has been around for about 30 years and will last another 50. They can get that in any Ikea, Pier 1, Ballard....etc, etc, store!...Dream on!!!
Our second project went from "Grandma's makeup case"
to "I'm flying to Paris and I'm doing it in style"
altered case!!
"Waste not the smallest thing created, for grains of sand make mountains, and atoms infinity"

A clean, fresh, cottage look for just a little money and some elbow grease!
We get to be surrounded by pretty stuff...
We get to create...
...meet wonderful people, and read some awesome magazines...(research purposes!)
And we get to "play house" each day,
All of that, before going home to our families...
....so empty!
...candles and voila!!!...Perfect during the day...
And oh so romantique! at night....
In the meantime, Marcela is loving...
"Number 9" found her perfect companion...
...and together they wait to hold the next generation of Cavaglieri-DiGiuseppe kids!
