What I learned 5/18/14

5/18/14. What I learned 

1. Apparently I missed a memo that arm hair is uncool and needs shaved or waxed off. 

2. Lourde. That singing girl has no dance ability. 

3. Chick sitting is fun because I get all the cuteness then ship them off when the 'chick shitting' takes over! 

4. Next time I buy landscaping plants, they won't be the prick-your finger shrub types. 

5. Next weekend is Memorial Day. What?? Yesterday was Christmas! 

6. Didn't Miley Cyrus ever hear that if she makes faces like that, her face might stay that way?! 

7. You might want to be super nice to Beyonce's sister, especially if you are planning to be in an elevator with her later in the evening. 

8. The 4am birds can kiss my ass. 

9.  I might be indifferent to assholes...I thought I might be shot this week and simply took the baby and moved away from the windows without even getting scared. 

That's all for this week...what have you learned? 

Share!! 

Minty and mine!!

I often fall in love with pieces I refinish but rarely keep them. This minty magic dresser had to go in my shabby chic bedroom. My husband is so tolerating of my madness!! (Poor guy sleeps on florals!) 

5/17/14 new at Saturday's Treasures booth

Today's upcycles. Will be able around 12:30pm Saturday at Saturday's Treasures in Mt. Pleasant at my Mommy in the Dale booth. These are only available at this booth. Inquire at shop for prices. Thanks! 

Minty goodness

I often say (like every time) I refinish something that it's my favorite but this may be. I truly haven't  decided if I'm keeping it or not. It would be perfect in my shabby chic bedroom. 

But I have to share. I wish I could truly have you check it out in person because pictures don't do it justice but I think they frown upon having lots of people in/out of your bedroom (haha!) 

This shows blue but it's perfectly minty green. I promise 

Better view of color and shabby, distressed greatness! 

If I decide to sale it (better yet if I decide it's way too heavy to get up my stairs!) I'll let you know!

Here's an alternative look with stuff from another my house: 

 Wouldn't this be cute near a fireplace? On the porch or in hall. You have you have empty corners!!! 

Fancy dresser was destined for garbage..

Oh no. Not on my plan. After this dresser sat in my storage shed for a while the hub said "it's got to go". He planned to put it curb side on garbage day--he said it was in his way. 

The ol' poor girl needed a good cleaning, sanding, and repairs to fancy vaneer finish. Amazing what clamps, glue, putty, and bricks to weigh it flat helps! 

Here she is in all her purdiness now. 

Glazed 

Distressed. New made old again! 

Fancy feet 

She'll be at Saturday's Treasured in Mt. Pleasant on 5/6/14 in the afternoon.
