Fabulous Find

Lately I have been very interested in finding and "antique" piece of furniture and reworking it. This all came along when I was reading a blog that referenced http://www.allthingsthrifty.com/. This is the most amazing "how-to" website. I LOVE IT! After seeing some of the posts she did on painting and glazing furniture I became obsessed. I sent kept sending Darren pictures telling him that this is going to be our next project. The only thing I had to figure out was what furniture I was going to paint! Well after taking inventory of what we had there just wasn't anything suitable. So next I got to put my favorite pastime into play...SHOPPING :)


When Darren and I go visit his family I always make him take me to Weatherford to get my ring cleaned (I just love how sparkly they make it!). Well on our way there we always pass this antique mall so I wanted to stop by this time. OH. MY. GOODNESS. This place was huge/amazing! I was in heaven. And right when we drove up I found my DREAM piece of furniture to redo. So after a little persuasion (didn't take much) I talked Darren into letting my buy! Weeee!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!


Here is my delima. I am absolutely IN LOVE with this thing as is. It already has an antique worn look to it. Soooo I think we are going to leave it cream for a while. Eventually we are going to paint it turquoise and do a glaze over the top. But I just can't part with the cream for the time being.
