how embarrassing!

seems like i have done a lot of the long dressers in cream….so i decided to do this one in black. there are three large drawers on each side and three drawers behind the cabinet door. this would be a great buffet or flat screen tv stand if you’re looking for those things! good thing i know how to rethunk stuff….
so i mentioned in an earlier post that my husband purchased a truck, right? well…when he buys a truck…he buys a TRUCK! i am now the proud owner of a ford f350 xlt pickup truck. and since i would never have known what that was till last friday, let me just tell you that it’s one big honkin’ truck! tom was proudly explaining that it had the runner-step-on-so-you-can-get-in-things on the side and i thought….”what a nice addition!” NOPE! those puppies are essential! i already look a bit silly hauling my rear end up into the seat – were it not for the runner-step-on-so-you-can-get-in-things there’s no way i would be able to do anything but wave to others as they drove off in my truck. so anyhoo…i took my first furniture foray in the truck on monday. found a fabulous dresser and had it loaded up. i’m feelin all cool and happy in my truck and decide i need some fuel before heading home. i turn the corner and head into the QT. few minutes later i am approached by a stranger who has a dresser drawer in about 3 pieces. i think to myself…”how does he know i fix things like that?? why did he know to bring it to QT? is he a stalker in disguise? i can never jump in my truck fast enough to get away!” and when he get’s to me he explains that as i went around the corner, this came flying out of my truck. now THERE’S a problem i never had in the van! i apologize profusely and he kindly suggests that i take all the drawers out till i get home. well dang it – that requires CLIMBING into the back of the truck. something i would rather try in private for the first time. hee hee with a little help i got things all safely tucked away and did indeed make it home with this fabulous dresser. i have decided i have some issues normal people just don’t have – wouldn’t you agree?

no clue what this is!

i seriously have no clue that this is. i’ll let you decide.
here’s what i DO know:
**it has a ton of storage space behind the two doors – and a shelf!
**the top pulls open and there is a ton of space inside there too
**when the top pulls open i have installed hinges so it is sturdy enough to write on if you wanted to (desk?)
**i have drilled a hole in the back (and when i say ‘I’ i mean tom – ha!) so you could put a lap top in there and run the cord out the back…no unsightly cord issues!
**it’s incredibly cute!

so you decide what it is…I have decided that it’s attractive and that you need it….and that’s really all that matters, huh? =D

buttons!

i have wanted to do this pretty much since i started Rethunk Junk. and it was every bit as enjoyable as i thought it would be! it took a while to gather all the buttons… and even longer to find a dresser that i thought worked for this project… and then even LONGER to sort thru all the buttons and just find the white/cream/pearl ones. i saw a version of this in an extremely classy boutique here in atlanta for over $700.00 so it was fun to try and recreate it! i think this would be beautiful in a bedroom, in a bathroom, or really lovely in any room decorated all in whites…even a formal living room. come see it in person – it’s a beautiful piece!

black and white and cool all over =D

this is one good looking set of drawers, huh? long dressers are hard to find! and this one is definately long – nine drawers in all – WHITE piece accented with black – not cream like i usually do – clean crisp white! would be perfect as a buffet piece since it’s long – MEASUREMENTS anyone?? 60 across 17 3/4 deep 30 tall and just let me say that i have tried really hard lately to put dimensions on my pieces and no one has thanked me. in fact…now i don’t get all the fun e-mails asking for dimensions so i’m feeling a little lonely and unappreciated. and based on how often he griped that i was not including them… i thought it would bring much more joy to my husband’s life that it seemed to…but surprise, surprise…he has found other things to suggest now *sigh*
