Sneak Peak of a Chifforobe

What is a Chifforobe?

A chifforobe is a closet-like piece of furniture that combines a long space for hanging clothes.

(that is, a wardrobe or armoire) with a chest of drawers.

One of my all time favorite books and movies, is The Help.

A Chifforobe is mentioned frequently in this book.

All I know, that I jumped for Joy when I found this Chifforobe at the D.I.!

I am on a break from painting furniture, kinda!

BUT. . .

Tell me you would have passed this beautiful Chifforobe by?

Nope, I don't think so!

It has a few imperfections and the wood is flaking, but

we can fix that.

This is my inspiration

Life is Good!

Hello Hello Hello! Etsy Shop

I Love to see things get a second life, that's why I do what I do!  I Love modern and old, valuable and ordinary. I love to upscale, reuse and revamp!  I heart Thrift stores! I couldn't buy one more thing, honestly I couldn't.  But, I wanted to!  It all started when I would swing in to check out the furniture.  Then I made the mistake of browsing, and I shouldn't have.  When it was only 75 cents and  $1.00 why wouldn't I buy it?  I shouldn't buy it because, I don't need it, and what would I do with it, but I would think how cute it would be with some paint! I love paint too!

 So, I started an Etsy shop  Oops Redone Etsy Shop! I know, real original, but I couldn't think of cute name that wasn't already taken!

Oh My, Etsy is so easy - user friendly!  I started slow and am still learning, but I don't have to feel GUILTY about my love of old things, and giving them a new life!

Painted Brass Candlesticks: Before and After

Well, it's been a while since I blogged!  I had a Boutique, a birthday,

and Bear scare!

Went on a hike in a primitive area with my hubby, and we were the only ones on the mountain.  A Bear growled to let us know it was there, and Jay said Freeze.  I was frozen for 20 minutes. I know what FEAR is.

But, hey I am blogging, so we made it out alive!

We have had some beautiful fall weather, but the forecast said it would end.  So I spray painted my little heart out, knowing my days were numbered.

Any one else hooked on pinterest? 

I decided instead of looking, I would do!

I have a collection of brass candlesticks, and I thought they looked great just as they were!  I was wrong!

My new found love, painted brass candlesticks!

wish I hadn't passed all of the ones I found at the thrift store, now I want them, I can't find them!
