My New Dressers!

A few months ago I bought a 2 dressers and a matching vanity from one of my favorite stores, They were in great condition, didn't even need much sanding. Well they were going to the shop asap! Didn't happen, we had one of those torrential rains we've been having lately and the garage flooded. Since we didn't go in there to work we didn't see the water for a few days. Needless to say the dressers got ruined. The veneer buckled on the front drawers of both of the but not the vanity. Long story short: I've been wanting antique dressers for quite awhile but all the good stuff goes to the shop. Not these they were meant to be mine! Here are the before pictures.

After pictures. I've been wanting to "lighten up" my house and style to cottage from primitive and dark colors. I'm so happy with the new {old} dressers!

New Carport....

I've been so busy working in the back yard trying to get the new carport and paint area set up I've hardly had time to paint! We've put a ceiling in the garage, a new vintage wood stove and lots more. I've been really bad at taking pictures, before or after. Anyway we can now keep cozy warm and paint in the garage for the winter. This is when we first got the carport.

This is now! Yeah its full already. We pulled all the project pieces from the garage and put them here and the plan is to take them out one or two at a time to sand and paint. Pictures of the new stove and my new vintage bedroom furniture coming soon!

Projects to do & some that are done

We had a big garage sale last weekend, even in all the freezing rain! We were actually very busy and sold a lot of stuff. I still have lots more to go. I'm getting a 18 x 21' metal carport to paint under and also to hold some Tag Sales instead of lugging it all to the front yard under tents.

This cute little vanity was at the shop in a creamy beige but didn't sell so it will be painted white.

I'm painting this cute little deco nightstand ASCP Old White with Louis Blue trim. I'll put a picture on soon as I finish it. Notice the original pull with bakealite!

These were from the yard sale. I'll be putting some on Craig's List, re painting some and others will go to Colorfest at Thurmont this weekend! If you're local and looking for great vintage pieces to paint or ready to go we're open most days with great bargains, just email me.

Ever had too much furniture?

Because of the recent rain we've had I had no choice but to jump in the van, truck or truck & trailer and buy, buy buy! I've even gone back to good ole Craig's list - not to mention we have great estate sales and garage sales in out area! I now have a garage, 3 tents and basement full of furniture to work on.

 This was made from an old saw horse and a section of an old dropleaf table. I used 2 leaves and have one left!

I found this awesome bookcase at an estate sale.

I managed to get these done in between rains.
