Where have I been?
Here's a hint.....

It's summer time and summer means lots of baseball at my house. 57 games in the last seven weeks. When you have that many games there is little time for anything else! Boy have I missed blogging. This week brings the end to travel baseball, so I have some time to get re-acquainted with my computer and say hello to all of you who I have missed blogging with.
I'm always looking for a "wonderful furniture find" at the local thrift store. I know that my partner Sharon at the Tea Castle can work her magic and transform the treasure into something a little girl will love .
I had to take a picture of the price. Can you believe it?
The final cost was $9.99!
Now for the transformation.....

I don't do any of the decorative painting. I guess I could put the white coat of paint on the furniture, but as for anything else that is not my gift. Now I can sew, so I was in charge of recovering the chair seat. After I completed the seat, I decided to add a pretty PINK tulle bow.

Here's the pretty pink flowers that were added to the desk top.
Sharon found the perfect PINK crystal knob for the drawer.
The funny thing is the knob cost as much as the desk!
Sometimes it's the tiny details that make the project perfect.
Your baseball photos are just wonderful. I so remember those days and then all the football. Such precious memories.
ReplyDeleteYour little dressing table is precious. What a darling piece. I love the paint job and the chair cushion and bow are just perfect.
Have fun. Hugs, Marty
That is the prettiest little vanity and chair. I love the fabric on the seat and the crystal knob.
ReplyDeleteI also like the setting with the flowers behind it for the photo.
