Now that the warmer weather has made an appearance, I’m trying my darnedest to stay on top of it. Such is the case with this piece of vintage 70’s…. loveliness.
A definite walk-by. Thank God for the ability to see past what something is and rather see it for what it could be. Truth be told, I thought everyone had this ability but recently (on two occasions) I’ve had someone say to me “You have such an eye.”. I was like “Huh?”. I’m starting to get it though. As in, some people are good at math and others are good at science. For me, it’s all about good bones. And white paint!
Much better! Bought on a Saturday and in the shop by Wednesday!
Very nice redo on the cabinet. I love all the little drawers.

Wow that was fast. I saw on a blog today where she used pieces of those plastic garden edge fencing as decorative appliques on a dresser. They look just like the wood ones when painted with the dresser.
ReplyDeleteYou most certainly DO have a good eye! I would have walked right past that thing. Now it looks like a piece that would work in any room in the house. Great job Maureen, and please show us all of the other pieces you've been working on too!
ReplyDeleteHey Maureen,

ReplyDeleteI have to paint that piece I've been thinking about for ages and ages... Before it's winter!!!
