I remember seeing her in the shop for way more than I wanted to pay . I really wanted to grab her and put her in the car throw a blanket over her, hide the receipt, but when Left Brain opened the back to put the groceries in their I knew she would be discovered. and I really wasn't up for what might happen next so I left her at the store. She was the perfect little provincial color and her finish was unique. I can paint furniture but I can never get the paint to go on and to sand off like the finishes I see at the furniture stores. I try and I tried but it never seems to sand off like this. just like this. yes I am a perfectionist I really try hard not to be but if it doesn't look just like what I was trying to achieve it gets painted over to be tried and tried again.
A store was running one of those sales where they post pictures of markdowns on Facebook and this picture came up and it was "her" and she was 50 percent off. My heart started beating and I rushed to find my phone and I just knew someone had called before me and their name was already on it. Nope it was all mine. Hopefully someday I can match this finish I think she needs a sister sitting in the room. a twin . I always wanted a twin and that finish well..... we will see if I can pull it off.
I just orderered a new dresser but before I ordered it, I created a footprint and moved it around in the space to make sure it worked where I wanted it to. wicker outdoor furniture
