I'm so proud of my hubs. He actually spotted this chest of drawers on the curb all by himself. *Sniff* Makes a thrifty wife proud. I just wish I'd been there to see him load it into his little Honda Accord... Hehe. Um, I mean to HELP him load it...
I can't decide if he's turning into a junking freak like me, or if he was just tired of digging around in the bottom of his closet for socks and unders...
It was in PERFECT condition! Just needed a touch of updating.
And it was the perfect pair for my Thrifted picture...
Ok, so I'm joking. A little. I did use both pieces, though!
Here's how it all came together...
I took the ugly picture out of the frame, painted two frames and the dresser, and then as always, I couldn't stop without distressing them to add some needed character.
I love how it turned out!
I picked up this vintagey looking wire basket at a Thrift store for 15 cents! Makes a great home for his keys and watches.
So here's the bigger picture, if you were wondering where we put it...
I really liked the symmetry of the 2 matching nightstands flanking the bed, and quite honestly, I miss it. But we needed drawer space way more than we needed symmetry and a perfectly balanced room. I spect I'll get use to it by 'n by.
The coolest thing about finding this chest of drawers is how CLOSELY it matches my dresser!
If you stand back and squint, you'd swear they came as a set.
And since we're talking about my dresser, I want to show you this vintage nighty set I found at the same Thrift store...
I've been looking for some kind of an old lacey garment to hang on my mirror, and this one is so pretty. It has some lovely feminine details...
Poor hubs. He thought I'd bought something to WEAR.
Silly man.
I love how it softens the dresser area. Makes it look all romantic-like!
I'm on a roll now. I've ALMOST finished a few other projects, that I'll be sharing real soon. I think the lovely spring weather is helping me get my mojo back. We've got daffodils and robins!!! HaPpY hApPy JoY jOy!!
I'm linking up with Chari's Finished Object Friday.
Have a super duper weekend!
