two Posts in one day.... Crazy, I know.
BUT!
I couldn't wait to show you.
I think my husband thought I was crazy.
I asked my daughter before I painted it, if we could put it in her room.
She said, NO WAY! YOU FOUND THAT ON A ROAD!
Even though the girl loves yard sales!
Sanded, primed, painted, and distressed.
I used paint that I already had. My GARAGE is actually painted this color!
I'm thinking, I'll keep it.
Do ya think whoever dropped on the side of the road
would like it back?
Tough Luck.
Now I need to go sew something for it out of that
FaBuLoUs Jennifer Paganelli loopy Vintage Floral fabric...
I put it in my entry way under the stairs... to go with my $15 yard sale antique mirrors.
It sort of matches the cross art!
Now maybe I will paint that unpainted handrail... sigh* It's only been three years!

oh my word! They wouldn't recognize it! Fabulous work!
ReplyDeleteBoy you are fast and so ridiculously productive these days. Send some of that energy this way!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have waited to post this either...what a great project...and yes, won't the Jennifer Paganelli fabric look great with it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great and I love the color. You remind me of one of my aunt's. We would be driving along and she would say stop! We would have to get out and pick up whatever was on the side of the road.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow, how fast are you and yes, I think the original owners would now be very sorry they let it get away!!! Fabulous makover, I love that colour (love the matching cross too!) xo
ReplyDeletegreat job! this is a fabulous makeover!!! i love those mirrors!
ReplyDeleteThat's just the color I imagined it should be. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteyou are WAY too fast for me! but I sure Like what you did to that cast-off!
ReplyDeleteI bet your daughter changes her mind now! It's fabulous!! Love the colour, so fresh and pretty. Great job done. How did you get it dry so quickly?
ReplyDeleteAwesome ... love it. Curbside finds are the best ... TTFN ~Marydon
ReplyDeleteNice job on the dresser! What are you going to make with that pretty fabric to go with the dresser?
ReplyDeleteCool! When my kids see furniture by the road, they slum down in their seats, because they know I will be slowing down and likely stopping! Poor kids!
ReplyDeleteGood job! you must be very proud of your work. It looks lovely just there under the stairs. I have some old pine furniture, I've been meaning to paint, maybe I'll get on with it now! Kath in England
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like it was meant to be there! And you sure work fast. What a great piece, and the bonus of great storage too. Good job!
ReplyDeleteWow! That color is fabulous! And I love your stairs!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you have it done already! I really like the color! Great work!!
ReplyDeleteSo love it!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad was principal of an Boston inner city school. In August he would take the station wagon and cruise the suburban school dumpsters. I remember pulling out books with slightly broken binding, chairs, blackboards, and even oak teacher's desks. They all came home to our basement where he put his kids to work cleaning, sanding, gluing, sorting...now they would call it recycling!
It looks great! I'll take that in my room, please.
ReplyDeleteI thought my kids started school late - we don't start until September 9. September 14 is really late! When do they get out?
I LOVE the new dresser. Makes me want to paint something! Thanks for the inspiration. BTW, am I still no comment? I changed some of my settings, but don't know if I did it right.
ReplyDeleteDoes B want it in her room, now? I would! I am so a stop and pick crap up on the side of the road gal...my boyfriend is more of the school of thought that B shares...He refuses to stop if he's the one driving.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous, and i'll gladly put it in my room any time you grow tired of it!
Oh wow! I absolutely LOVE IT! The color is sooo you. I can't believe how fast you completed that project! Kudos to you!!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous color..my kinda paint...!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou are awesome!!
How stinkin' fun!!! I love that color of aqua/teal and it looks great in that hallway. Seriously - if I ever find a decent piece of furniture on the side of the road, its MINE! ;-) Well done!
ReplyDeleteI think I could just drive over and pick it up would look great in my daughters room!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the color!

ReplyDeleteWow! it looks great! you are one fast lady! Quilting, canning, re-finishing, not to mention blogging and who knows what else - is there anything you don't do, and do well???!!! No wonder you've had little time for the motorbike this summer!
