Finished and in Place!

The chiffonier is finished! She's been taking up way too room in the garage! She needed repairs that only hubs could do and me being a used to be nagger not wanting to be a nag, finally asked if he could finish it before he went to MS for a week. Guess what?

He forgot it needed repairs!

Two summers ago, I was driving the back streets of a local town and saw the chiffonier by someone's house. long story short, we went back and the homeowner was delighted to say yes - ANYTHING on the pile, ma'am - an offer we refused. She sat outside in the rain, had two missing feet but found in one of the drawers and her bottom had holes in it. But I knew she could be rescued!

I knew when we picked it up, there WAS NO ROOM in our house for it. My intent was fix, paint and sell. after hubs did a fab job of fixing it up and brought it home, I kinda mumbled under my breath that it's going to be hard to give it up. Hubs, bless his heart, said we're FINDING room! And literally, the only place was in our bedroom which is small and I REALLY liked my bench and shelf that was already there.

She really is BEAUTIFUL!
From her curves to the etchings on the mirror... 

to her graceful feet.

From the top of the tip-tilt mirror... 

to the scallops on her skirt!

She's got a cute keyhole with a glass knob,

speckled mirrors,

   LOVELY drawer pulls,

a new color I fell in love with,

and all SHABBIED up!

She looks exactly like i pictured her...OLD, GRUNGY AND BEAUTIFUL!
she's also very useful...love useful and beautiful... for bedroom storage!

'happy, happy SIGH!'

 - our bedroom before -

- after -

Now if we can only get the clock pendulum to swing quietly!


...blessedness!
