definitely one of my top ten!!!!

do you LOVE this bench or what????? incredible, huh?????? it’s a handmade piece! its made out of a full size bed!! the back of it is the headboard – sides are the footboard cut in half. go back and look again! go ahead! see it now? the headboard and the footboard? brilliant huh???? course i didn’t come up with it….but i WAS smart enough to find it in a magazine – realize that the idea had potential (they don’t ALL work, you know!) – find a bed that would work – and find a woodworker extroidinairre who could build it for me. so basically i AM solely responsible for it’s amazingness. bah ha ha!!! it’s beautiful, useful and also has the added fun of being a cool one of a kind conversation piece!

manly!…or not?

as i think about men…and what they would like…
nope….can’t go there….
as i reflect on men’s needs….
nope…not gonna go there either…
as i try to envision what a man would request….
nope….let me just go about this in a completely different way…

i have a – kinda plain – one dimensional – not too fancy – relatively useful – frilless (is that a word) – dresser with a hutch on top. made me think of a man.
and yet…
it’s not messy
doesn’t require lots of your time
won’t need to be fed every night
is really pretty classy
looks fabulous when accessorized
seems that it could be very non-man-ish too, huh? =D
seems like a piece you need no matter what!

read in your “commercial” voice…

is this amazing or what????

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!! (but, as i’ve said before…..would i ever really post a piece and begin with “this is pretty nasty….i don’t care for it and didn’t even do a very good job on it. it’s just truly visually offensive!” ????? i think not! so of course i love this piece!) i’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that this piece is pretty much WAY unique and one of a kind. it’s cream and distressed and antiqued and comes with the vanity piece (three drawers and two cabinets) the stunning mirror, and the charming little stool. it’s one you really have to see in person to appreciate….pictures don’t capture the true stunningness. (which is what my husband says about himself….pictures don’t capture his true stunningness – you have to see him in person. in fact – i may have shared this before….but you should see our walls. i am always hanging things and then rearranging them and there are holes everywhere! tom refuses to buy a stud finder to cut down on the “oops holes”…he won’t purchase a stud finder because he says it would be useless…since it would just beep every time he picked it up. ha! get it? he’s a stud?) anyway….this piece is incredible! come see it before it goes!

for your boodwaur!

don’t you LOVE this one???? i would like to announce that this was a garage sale find (at a very upscale garage sale!) and that my maria went with me this particular day. i would also like to announce (since my name has been smeared in the past….) that she did not complain…did not get physically ill…did not become frightened at my driving…did not expect to lollygag or waste time…in fact…quite to the contrary…she was casing every spot for furniture…jumping in my big ole truck and dragging stuff around to make more room… running to check on prices…and being insanely useful in every way. so….in order to make sure that those who have labeled me as “unbalanced” or “psycho” know that i truly love them (you know who you are sandra…i don’t have to use your name!) we are going to assume that my maria is psycho like me! that way that super special friend sandra who i won’t identify will know that i value her friendship and have no residual hard feelings at all!! (tee hee – i DO love you!)
well….we found this….and i was so excited. (my maria did get a little sassy and annouce that she didn’t think i should have paid that much for it….but she was all wrapped up in purchasing a knife that was incredibly scary and whose only real use could be to inflict pain on others….so she wasn’t looking at how incredible the piece really was so i forgive her) it is now STUNNING!!! i love the three little drawers on top….the drawers all slide wonderfully…and as i look in the mirror, i find the reflection to be flawless….can’t promise you’ll have the same luck….but from MY view it’s a real selling point!! bah haha!
it’s a very unique piece….so grab it quick!

PEDICURE!

i’m thinking i have done it! this HAS to be one of a kind! (and i have to be officially nuts???) i just finished a claw foot coffee table….and a claw foot dresser….and so i have been thinking about that type of furniture and how it’s actually kinda weird….skip this next bit if you already read it…this is from a previous post…

i really don’t understand why some things become popular. i’m trying to envision a couple guys creating this piece. they start with a piece with straight legs. conversation must have gone something like this…..
hmmmmm…..needs a little something, don’t you think?
yea! how about we curve the top?
great! that would add a LOT….but let’s do more….
well…we could add some carved detail along the sides?
that would be awesome!!!! and i know….how about we make fancier legs???
okay – let’s curve them….
super….but i was thinking we could add some real pizazz here….how about shaping them like a bird?
what?
like a bird!
uh….really?
yea! and not just any bird…a big ole bird with long sharp claws! ooooo – and lets make them spread out so you can see all the bones and stuff and make them holding something so you can see the long scary claws. yea! that’s it! long frightening bird legs with sharp talons clutching some type of ball!!!
are you sure?
oh yeah! people are gonna LOVE it!

well…as i looked that this piece i realized that not only are there claw feet…there are TOE NAILS!!!! really! what the???? so i decided that if there are toe nails…the piece deserved a pedicure. so i have painted the toe nails on this puppy a lovely demure shade of blush (classy friend calls it blush not pink and in a sad attempt to be like her i am calling it blush) ….so this gorgeous dresser – cream and distressed and beautifully antiqued – with stunning carved detail and lovely hardware made of solid wood and accented with claw feet now has a pedicure….how many people can say they own something like THAT??

can you handle THIS????

in march i posted a little end table with green knobs…my nod to st patricks day…and the little guy was purchased with a request that i change the knobs to black. i have teased that friend….and actually posted another piece with green knobs which had – in the drawer – black ones you could put on AT HOME – after you told me how much you loved the green! ha ha
that one was also purchased… by a way cool person who swears she loves the green (although she’s also insanely nice so she could have changed those puppies the minute i turned around and spent all evening laughing at me – haha) well – i’m going out on a limb again here….this time the hardware is …..red! i love red and black and red is surprisingly neutral. although….in an attempt to make sure everyone is happy….i have included a black pull in the drawer for you to switch to. as with the green piece….just praise me for my artistic and creative choice…tell me how incredibly darling it is in red…and change it out in the privacy of your own home! =D
