1920's Chifarobe Before and After !

I finally…… finished the 1920’s chifarobe for Alyssa’s room. I’ve had this piece of furniture since I was in my 20’s, so that is a very long time in deed. Until I started getting it ready to paint I didn’t realize how bad a shape it was in. I had to re-build a couple of drawers, some of the side veneer had become a massive bubble that I ended-up having to cut-out and fill in with wood putty, etc. I attached the same furniture appliqué as I did to the vanity to tie the two pieces together, painted the chifarobe the same creamy white and attached more of the hand painted glossy pulls.  All in all I think the ol” girl turned out pretty well, even if it did take me a month!

Very Pink and Rosie Re-Purposing Project




Well, you'll never know what you might find at Goodwill! Latest find is a vintage kitchen spice rack, with the spice bottles. So I brought it home, cleaned it up and it sat around for a while. Until I noticed the number of perfume bottles my teenage daughter was accumulating. Now I finally had a purpose for the little spice rack, a perfume rack! I painted it baby pink and then went nuts painting pinks roses and gold accents all over it. It turned out so... pink and Shabby Chic. At just bout the same time it was complete and ready to use she informed me she no longer likes pink and we are now redecorating her room in black and white. Go figure! lol
