It was Tattered and Torn

I got these little ladies from the DI and thought maybe they had some potential. They were dusty and falling apart, but put on a little paint and some new fabric, and voila' you got yourself a little shabby chic. Not too shabby.

An old dresser gets botox

So, I haven't been on here for a while because my dear husband tore out the floor from underneath my computer, so I didn't have access to it for a while. Now my computer desk sits on a beautiful, prestine tile floor. Thank you Artie.

I started painting furniture because it was old and it needed a face lift. Plus everything was a hand-me-down and I needed to make it do. Now I like the old looks new thing. I'm okay that everything isn't new all the time as long as it has a good structure and is sturdy. I really liked the lines on this dresser. It was originally white with a lot of crusty old paint on it so it needed some help. I saw a dresser in Kid's Rooms magazine and copied it. I like things a little quirky and I looooove this dresser. It took me a while to finish it but I think it turned out fabulous and I'm proud of myself.

A lot of times I do things that quickly gets undone, like the laundry, the floors, the bathrooms, the kitchen. I know you all know what I'm talking about, so painting is one thing that has a more permanent effect on things. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I run outta things to paint. Maybe come over to one of your homes. {Oh my goodness I'm listening to Walking in a Winter Wonderland. Yay, Christmas is coming.} *BTW, there's a ladybug walking on my desk, weird*
