I got a call about CRAP ON A CURB...:) Hubby and I ran out in the dark with flashlights in hand to a RESCUE!. We had to fight a few raccoons and find all of the pieces to put it back together again, but I think it was worth it! Tell me what you think!!
Real wood and dovetails...nice. It is good to see this get saved. Earlier this week I assembled some Ikea bookshelves and an entertainment center for a client. The entertainment center was a bit nicer than the bookcase but both were made from particle board, with a RTF covers...the back of the book case was RTF over cardboard...jeesh that stuff is CRAP. I can see how those could end up in landfill in short order. once those pieces become humpty dumpty...its game over.
excellent! today I spotted an unused can of stain and a 3/4 bottle of roundup in a trash pile and I was all happy as I grabbed it up!! Craig's list free stuff can be fun too
Oh My what a beautiful rescue...Job well done In transforming CRAP! into OH WOW SNAP! Hope the Raccoons you were fighting were the ones with rings around their tails and not black with a stripe down their back.Hehe :)... it's a good thing you had Flashlights LOL!♥...I so love it and I love your colour choice... Well done Art is beauty...♥
Hey Ellen, I came here earlier, I thought I had left a comment, but I sure dont see it. Thank you, this is so beautiful. I also invited SheilaG, Plum Doodles and Sherrie S and Susan S to see this. Now I can envison my desk as Sheila has . Am having major trouble on HT tonight, so am retiring. BEautiful desk!! And Ilove the pulls,
Fantastic job! But I need to know where you got that chair fabric? I have to have a piece to cover a small chair for a young girl who is crazy about Paris!!!!
Thanks...I will send this info to my friend! I would love a chair covered in this fabric. In fact, I would love to paint my dining room chairs black and use this fabric! I may just do that. My chairs are pretty, but I don't know what they are made out of and some of the finish is coming off....I think the decorations are resin! Just do not know. If I do this, I will post photos!
Ha! Tricia @ Simplicity In The South Too funny! I can see you petting this! haha this is still very pretty , , but I am getting confused as to my desk that is just like this. I have been encouraged to just get a table for the tv, and bypass all this work. But it is sooo pretty, yes, I want to "pet" it too.
Bernice H, a friend of mine recently converted an old desk similar to this to a TV center by adding shelves in the area where your legs would normally go for the cable box and DVD player. Maybe you could do that?
I checked on-line and Hobby Lobby does not have that fabric so I am going by the store today to check it out! It may still be in the stores. I will let you know if I find it.
Thanks all!!
Thank you all!!
