SHOW ME SOME LOVIN'

Over the years I've picked up a lot of furniture pieces that have been so badly abused it's really SAD it really makes me MAD! Why would someone purposely damage, misuse, destroy, and then abandon a once beautiful and loved piece of furniture?? Some people have no respect for older items that they have no use for, whether they're priceless antiques or handed down from a loving family member. Give it to the kids and let them do whatever to it! Imagine this once beautiful vanity:


A vintage Waterfall vanity that includes a large round mirror - missing the middle drawer - like how could you LOSE a drawer? Uh, dunno how that happened!



I LOVE YOU -- are you KIDDING ME??? Obviously you don't LOVE this vanity so much. Probably scratched into the surface by some love-smitten pre-teen!




Yeah, happiness happens! Didn't you have any PAPER to write on??

Anyhoo..... I digress! I've seen furniture pieces in much worse condition and this doesn't stop me from wanting to take them, repair all those boo boos, and make them feel REALLY LOVED and beautiful once again! And so, this vanity will be my next victim project piece. I'll let you see how it turns out - later!

Now, here are some recent transformations that are now on display in my space .....

BEFORE:


Drab lamptable in need of an update!

AFTER:

Oh, this turned out SWEET!



Love the detail on the shade! What a perfect match!

BEFORE:
 
Older sewing machine cabinet - who uses these things anymore?

AFTER:

Now it's a writing desk - okay, who writes anymore? So it could be a cute table, then!


Vintage-y looking paper applied to the top so you don't see where the sewing machine used to be!

Hope you are feelin' the LOVE!

Until next time......... XOXOX!
