Hanging out just down the road at one of those Saturday morning get togethers
*AKA* yard sale
Shes was a cheap date at only $2.70
With the rainbow of colors and vintage feel we have decided to finish the kitchen in,
she was destined to come home with us.
This is the before picture of the now COFFEE STATION.
Thats an old AC unit that started to smell very odd the last 2 yrs so it was removed.
Transition Period,
with the old coffee maker and vintage printers stamp drawer.
NEW and IMPROVED
She greets George every morning with his new coffee maker
and hot H2o system, for my tea.
On another note:
I finished off the perfect little bedside table.
Smooth white creamy finish.
White flower knobs on 3 drawers.
Its a great table made of solid pine.
This time around I didnt have to put feet on, it came this way.

I had been relegated to the corner
of my owners yard sale, like a child on a time-out.
No one looked at me, no one would talk to me. Why should they I only had one drawer knob,
paint was falling off me, my drawers wouldnt even open. I was beyond chic, I was just shabby.
From my corner view I saw the nice couple drive
in. After looking around they bought a few of my
friends. One at a time the nice man would pay my
owner and then tuck each of them gently in their
car. I then began to pout. There I was hiding in the
corner with all hope running out.
All of a sudden the nice lady looked my way. Would she fork out the money and pay?
I got so excited!
She crossed the yard and started inspecting me,
she even turned me upside down to see.
Soon I was on my way to a new home.
She didnt think I was an ugly garden gnome!
.......
First, she came at me with a screw driver,
prying at my drawer.
I wasnt gonna give up that easy.
This was gonna be a chore.
Then came a pry bar and a hammer,
I thought this is really gonna hurt.
She got all my drawers open
with a lot of hard work,
So rather then a home for mice
I really started to feel rather nice.
Then I got some new paint,my drawers were lined,
and I even got a new shine. My drawers got new jewelry,
Shes not playing no tom foolery!

Did you know I have a FACEBOOK page.
4 the love of WOOD face book page
showed this sneak peak yesterday of my current project.
Stop by and *LIKE* us at our facebook page,
it will make George giddy as he is the primary moderator
and jumps up to see every *LIKE*
I started with this staring back at me
After some work I had these staring back at me.
And somehow these came out of all the staring.
Wouldnt it be great if thats all I had to do or maybe
just wiggle my nose and magically it all happens.
The cabinets are painted a very light blue over a medium blue.
The drawer faces also have some yellow peaking through the distressing.
All six drawers have chippy white butterfly swing handles
and are lined with a designer wallpaper.
Yes, I also added a graphic to this project.
Each cabinet top has an ornate wreath surrounding a butterfly and crown.
My graphics are a part of the finished paint and are protected with wax.
They are safe to wipe down.
You can also find a side by side before and after pic here.
