My neighbor brought this to me.  She bought it for $2 !!!  Has original 1953 product tag on the bottom.  The seating is in pretty good shape.  Needs trim work and debating on painting the wood an antique cream color.  Hmmmmmm, still thinking.

Well, here she is........................................


My "plan" was to keep the original pea green felt upholstery and wood. But, plans change. 


Bought this beauty at Goodwill.  Pretty just as she is............but can she be made even prettier????  Haven't decided yet.........but she catches my eye as I pass her in the hall way everyday.   Still thinking.........




Roadside find



Found this a block from my house on the way to drop off Chloe at school one morning.  Passed it up for a couple of days, but I knew rain was coming, ........ just HAD to bring it home.



This is what she looks like now.  Sweet lil reading area .

This chair sat on my back porch for months.  The wood on the back was warped and peeling.  I ended up having to cover it. 
I keep forgetting to take before pics of my projects!!!  Ugh!!!  Anyway, this table was a just a shiny wood piece.  Took lots of sanding.  Found this paint at Home Depot as an "Oops" sale.  I guess it wasn't mixed the way the buyer wanted.  The stripes were easier than I thought they were gonna be.
