YOUVE COME ALONG WAY BABY dressing room reveal

Our little dressing room has grown and matured so much in a few short years.
This room serves all our clothing needs including laundry folding, ironing, and every day dressing.
 
 
 
 Here she is as a youngster.
 
And now she has graduated, making both of us very proud.
This is the area that we needed the most, a place to put clean laundry and fold it.
 
I saw this frame available at the auction I knew I wanted it and knew it would be painted.
The Whitehall Laundry sign is an actual a fabric laundry "BAG".
I purchased the bag from a lady that deals in estates and furniture.
 ?
One of the many signs hanging on the walls is also covering the fuse box.
The curtain tie backs & scrolled metal shelf brackets are second hand buys.
The shelf is cut from 2 pine bed rails and is extra deep.
This thick vanity surface was stolen from a large midcentury desk I tore down for parts. We found
this drawers and pull out on the side of the road. I customized and installed them under the surface.
 
This solid brass urn had a wonderful patina in dark reds and browns when I first got it.
It was handmade in India, sorry India, I had to paint it.
 
The stacked dresser are perfect in this corner.
Details about their transformation can be found here.
 
I painted these baskets white using my sprayer.
New baskets whether white or brown are priced very close so think before you buy.Because spray painting old brown baskets takes a lot of paint and time which will translateinto a good deal of money but it is an option to recycle them.
One problem I still have with the room is an ironing board.
I wanted to get one in a cabinet that hangs on the wall then hinge this full length mirror to it.
Mom and Dad had one in their house and it was great,
but the cost of these wonderful things is high
so I will make due for now until I can find one or figure out how to build one.
 
 More pictures can be seen at OUR HOME TOUR,
and
I have also added some pictures on the BEFORE AND AFTER page

Retro Baby!!!

I'm so excited to share my new piece! Now I know not everyone is into
the Mad Men style, but these vintage pieces are just so darn fun to do! 
I got a phone call from one of my "contacts" asking if I wanted this stuff. She cleared out
a container and this mid century dining set was part of it. 
Behold the $65 "set".....
    These chairs were sooooo gross. Greasy??? OMG. Smelly??? OMG. I gloved up on these babies.
                  So much grease and grime.  I don't even want to know.  But I saw potential!!
I know.  Ewwww. Right?? 
Ok.  Ready???  
Many, many,,,,,many (lol) hours later.....
I discovered that beneath all the grime, they were actually in very good shape.

Baby Chicks

Our baby chicks arrived a couple of weeks ago and I am completely smitten with them.  I never realized they could be so much fun. 
One of the highlights of my day is simply watching them play, and our whole family is enjoying them which makes me happy.
We bought 3 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Rhode Island Reds and 1 Easter Egger.  The Buff Orpingtons are my favorite.  So friendly, sweet and curious.  Our little Easter Egger is a bit shy but she is slowly coming around.
The Rhode Island Reds, which we have had before, are fun and seem to be the leaders of the tiny group. 
They have grown quite a bit in two weeks.  I snapped their picture right after I put them in their brooder when they first arrived.
Baby chicks suffer from the "big hand syndrome" so for a while every time we would stick our hand in to play with one to get them used to us, they would all run to the corner for cover.   But now, they run to greet us, which is so sweet. 
We havent named them yet because honestly, it is really hard to tell them apart, other than the different breeds.
If anyone has any name suggestions, Id be happy to hear them!
