trash to treasure

i'm crazy busy packing, patching, painting, sorting, and purging for our move next week.

until i can get down to the business of documenting all the changes we

will make to our quinby cottage i thought i would share

a freshly updated piece of furniture going with us.

this beauty came to me free! after being passed around

by guys in seminary over the last several years the most recent owner

decided that she had to hit the curb. but first, he asked me

if i could do anything for her.

uh, yes, please.

initially, my plans were to fix her up and sell her.

i cleaned her up and put a couple coats of white raisen by sherwin williams on her.

i had this paint on hand, so another score.

i really liked the curvy, leafy detail of the pulls so i

just spruced them up with some hammered bronze spray paint, also in my stash.

and her she is, sitting in my shop garage but only because she is waiting to be

moved to our new home. i decided i couldn't get rid of her and that she would

be the perfect piece for a room that we plan to convert from a small

bedroom (by closing up the doorway and opening up the wall and framing it out. . . can't wait!) 

 to a sitting room.

we will desperately need the extra storage in our new-to-us smaller home

so this will work great while bringing a fun pop of yellow to the room.

you'll have to stay tuned to find out what other plans we have for the space.

can't wait to get in and get busy!
