Sweet telephone table went to a new home.

Before/After

Boring little vintage telephone table

I don't know about you but the transformation of even a basic small furniture piece with a coat of paint still amazes me. I love quick re-dos like this. That's why I keep my paint brush and sponge in a belt holster around my waist  at all times! (ok not really)

Auction Finds

I got a few sweet old items and small pieces of furniture (to repaint) at the auction the other day.

Aren't these old cat prints adorable.

I keep my dogs' toys in old baskets so soon as I put this down Tzu Tzu was looking to see if there were toys in it.

Nice mirror. This old heavy ornate frame will be painted creamy white. (of course)

This is a decent old wooden chest. The person who made &/or built it has his name and the date, 1915, written inside.  From Hamilton Mass.

Vintage RansBurg canister set, bread box and match box holder.

Where does the time go?

Where do the days go?
I did get to a good auction the other day. Love the big all day ones under the tents. And love the walk around at the end of the day to get the awesome table and box lot deals!
Here's some pics of a few *pretties* from that recent auction.

I haven't been posting here as often as I should be. Seems I am doing more on my FaceBook page.
(tsk tsk)
Plus we moved! It was totally unplanned, disorganized, rushed and stressful but it's been fun too. Long story but we have been living in an addition we had built onto our main house 6 years ago. It was a nice small but open space, had a good shabby country cottage style but there was one big drawback, NO KITCHEN! There was of course a kitchen (my former kitchen) a few steps away in the main house, and it was planned to be shared...but that didn't really work out.
So now I am back in the house we had built in 88. Phew. And to confuse you more, we have moved 4 times in the last 37 years of living in this town and never left this street!
