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...
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"

Nice job!

Thank-you for stopping by my blog and I loved 'The Painted Veil,' too. Great ideas here. Repurposing furniture is a love of mine. And it saves money, too. Which is always good. I'll certainly be back. Have a great weekend. :)
Those are fabulous! What is that shade of blue? I love what you did to that little travel case! Thanks so much for joining in on the party! Loved your make overs! Jen
The dresser is perfect. I love the glass knobs. It certainly is good for many more years.
Just beautiful! Love 'em!

{If we can say love one more time....we LOVED the quote too...!!}
Happy Monday!
Fantastic. I have a tiny dresser sitting in my front foyer I found this weekend. The lady's son made it for her for a special spot she had in her tiny guest bedroom. It even has the original crystal knobs on it. $5 bucks. I was giddy with excitement on finding it. Another great find was a vintage horse muzzle. Now the guy I bought it from ask me what my plan was for it. I told him I was sure some little wren would surely build a nest in it if I was to hang it on the side of the house or fence or maybe plant flowers in it. He was amazed. All he saw was a rusty old horse muzzle. Have a wonderful and happy week. ~ Lynn
P.S. Love what you did with the travel case. :)
amazing transformation!
