I found this nice Roseville pottery vase/piture at an estate sale this weekend.  I love the old pottery and Roseville is very collectable.  I have not seen one like this.  So I was happy to get it.  And this piece of course is ready for a price tag.

 

I found this little Railroad lantern at an auction.  I love it. It has the red glass globe which needs to be cleaned.  There is plenty of rust on it so that will get a good once over as well.  I am thinking a Black or Green color to go with the Red glass.  This will be coming soon. Stay tuned.

I love ladder back chairs.  This chair came from the same basement as the vanity seat.  As you can tell they both look alike, as far as dirt.  I will first work on cleaning the seat and then give the structure a face lift.  This will be after the vanity seat.  But I am going to have both done very soon.  So keep a look out.  

 


I have had too long of a break from posting.  But not from the sales.  I found this little vanity seat in the basement of a house in Chapel Hill.  VERY musty smelling.  The structure is sturdy, but I really liked the look.  Much more time in that basement I don't think there would have been anything to salvage.  I am going to remove the, what used to be white leather seat and re-upholster it.  The padding and cover will need to be replaced, due to being in the damp space.  I can't wait to get started on this one.

 

So I decided to be a little funky on this secret project.  Just to show how crafty you can be.  I used a black wax on the wood part to darken it up which turned out nicely I might add.  And I re-upholstered the seat with an old shirt I don't wear.  Sorry I liked it for something.  I guess it was this.  LOL  But you never know til you try it.  I think it turned out good.  Hope you like it as much as I do.  Up for sale!  

 Here is a nice little table that I purchased at the Pink Flamingo.  I am thinking maybe 1960's to 1970's, accent table with a magazine holder at the bottom.  The table is nice and sturdy.  I did a heavily distressed look on the base and then a coat of Mahogany Minwax on the top.  I was really happy with this one.  It is up for sale.  

I found this little dresser at an estate sale on Saturday.  I have seen the stained painted look and wanted to try it myself.  I used a flat antique white on the structure of the dresser.  I then used Mahogany Minwax on the drawers.  I then went over it with a clear wax to seal it.  I replaced the knobs for a completed project.  And it has been moved into my space and up for sale.  Lets hope it goes quickly.  

 

I decided to try out the New Annie Sloan Chalk paint.  I like the look of it.  This is with two coats of old white.  But I have decided to make a change on the white.  So I have a bit to do over.  For now here is a sneak peak of it partially completed.  This piece is huge and takes time to complete.  But I like it more and more every time I look at it.  This hutch will get new knobs as well.  I am still deciding on what knobs I want, I am thinking I have to shop around to get the perfect fit.  Stay tuned for the completed project.  I can't wait to finish it.
