White Wednesday

We've been playing Musical Dressers...

The poor old dresser already in the house
finally got a very needed clean up.

new fresh paint...

glass knobs...

big smile for the camera....

and out the door
and in my Country Roads Space.

Now I need to get my new vintage dresser ready ...
white?
black?
crazy?

I better look around White Wednesday for some inspiration!

Linking up also to the
"Before and After Party"

Rainy California

Clara found this very cute dresser full of possibilities.

$40.00 and big plans for it!

Nice drawer pulls,
Nice legs,
Nice details.

Until the rain came.

The cute dresser was in the back of the truck.
The truck that does not fit in the garage.

Do I need to say more???

Recycling? Yes!
Miracles...no!

This is what is left of the cute little dresser...

This is all I have to make my $40.00 back...
Wish me luck!!!

And they say that it doesn't rain in California!!

Luckily...

Another party, giveaway and all things blog-licious!

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!!
