2 piece painted hutch

She was dark, damaged, warped, now she is in the pink!

Here's the top piece.

And the bottom piece, broken and warped door.



The back was replaced, lined with floral and script design wall covering. The door couldn't be saved so she got a pretty shabby skirt instead.

I painted a desk today

I pondered what to do with this desk for days. The drop front panel was veneer & had issues on both sides. I really wanted to keep the closed front. I had an idea I could strip &/or sand down the damaged veneer then adhere a piece of embossed wall covering. (heavy and paintable, looks like tin tiles) But...it didn't turn out that way.

I had a can of RittenHouse Blue historical paint, which was looking a gray slate blue/green & this piece of furniture said "no way, looks too close to avocado to me!"
So now she is open and showing off her cubbies, shabbily pretty, all painted up in French County Blue, edges sanded & waxed all over. Just waiting on some glass knobs which I plan to get tomorrow.

tomorrow is moving day

I am very happy to say I will be moving into my own room at DOMAIN Gallery up in Northwood NH.
This has made for a crazy busy & exciting couple of days. Usually when I am looking for a shop space I have it planned, with lots of inventory on hand. But this was an offer I couldn't refuse.
The room is cozy & welcoming. I will get some pics tomorrow after I get it set up for the Blog & L Kells Antiques FaceBook page.
I hope you will stop by when you are in the area and check us out!

Red Commode *SOLD*

I got this red commode and a red table together at an auction. I wanted to bring them in the shop at the same time but didn't have room. Table sold last week so I brought the commode in the other day and it sold already. Maybe Santa bought them for Mrs Claus? They had a nice holiday look to them!

Bloomers $28

Going in the shop today...a pair of ladies' Victorian era bloomers. Lace is very pretty but age makes the fabric fragile. One area on a seam  needs to be stitched up. Slight discoloration. You could wear them for Halloween or *dress up* but I would suggest they are for display only.
