For this week's vintage thingy,sponsored by "Confessions Of An Apron Queen", I thought I'd share my road-side finds.
This dressing table set was found on separate occasions,in different locations
...I wish I took before pics. The
table was a hideous shade of pepto-bismol pink..The chair
was a cast-off sewing table chair with a lift up seat in a
dark wood finish....I recovered the seat then
I painted the set gold, then spattered black paint with a
toothbrush! It is also skirted with a vintage drapery.
The mirror is a antique which was my grandmother's.
Here's a pic of the top. It now is glass-covered with my collection
of vintage/antique postcards displayed underneath the glass.
I thought my set turned out great!!! My husband doesn't even ask
"why are you dragging that junk home"? anymore! ;-)

My husband always laughs & says you know, you could have gotten a whatever at wal-mart brand new. I think it is funner to use things like an old 1936 mixer than to buy a new one. I spend too much at Wal Mart anyway! :)
I Love this. What a great find. I am like you, I see how marvelous a piece can be when it is redone. my husban on the other hand usually just sees junk. What a great piece of furniture. It looks great.
Great find and brilliant all around!
What a beautiful job! I love the fabric skirt. I see things I want to fix up, but I'm scared to try.
I love that you used a toothbrush for accent paint.
You did a great job! It is truly beautiful!
Turned out lovely! What a great find!
Blessings to You!

It's beautiful! My hubby always is on me about dragging all that junk home, but ends up happy with how it looks in the end. :)
Those were great finds and you refurbished them beautifully.
That's the same thing my husband
says. A great find is a great find!
It is rewarding to make something
out of something that everyone else doesn't have! rite?
