This girl came to me via eBay, from a lovely lady who lived on a farm. When I arrived to pick it up I was a little nervous, I had to open a gate and drive down a long drive way that I couldn't see the end of from the road. I reminded myself that I said I wouldn't pick things up on my own - not that I had anything to worry about - but you can't be too careful can you? Anyway, I picked up this girl and was very happy with my find.
I think she was originally made as a hall table, but I can see her as a small writing desk in a bedroom, or even a little dressing table. I think the table top is just wide enough, but not too wide to collect too much stuff! One day I will show you my working table and you will see what I mean!
I gave her a couple of coats of Antique White and distressed just a little for character.
Another orange piece bites the dust!

ReplyDeleteOnly a kazillion to go - I think at the end of 2013 we could count how many orange pieces we've brought back to fashionable life this year! I'm guessing it'll be a lot!!
ReplyDeleteLove this one! Looks like a perfect size for a little wall that we all seem to have somewhere in our homes :-)

ReplyDeletewhat a lovely makeover. i'm a big fan of painting everything in a crisp white! Kate x
ReplyDeleteYour new table is sweet. I know what you mean about something being big enough to collect "stuff". I follow my husband around and put things away that he leaves on every surface.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I hear you about collecting stuff. I like that my end table on my side is too small to collect too much stuff. It makes it much easier to keep it tidy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece... love it all creamy white. I'm featuring it in the PoPP Spotlight this week.
