An Ugly Duckling

My mom always told me not to judge a book by it’s cover.  That’s a very helpful piece of advice when it comes to furniture and thrifting.

Evidence…….

And a close up….

Funky pre-painted wood appliques.  I suppose it made some little kiddies happy and was probably quite functional for them.

I, on the other hand, had another plan.  I was looking for display pieces for the shop.  We have been in the process of moving and I was doubling my space size so the hunt was on.  Here it is getting a face lift….

First the heart had to go!  Then a little paint, distressing and a coat of wax.

Et voila…..

It now sits on top of a side table giving me a little extra display space.

Now I need to renovate my blog!
