When I shared my new space at the shop with you the other day you might have seen my vintage sewing base table from my Paris Hotel Suite...
I tried to find a more recent picture of it in my bedroom but could not so here it is when I first shared the room with you back in April of 2010...
And here is a more recent photo...
I was ready for a change and thought this old bureau I picked up at a yard sale this summer for $10 would be the perfect fit...
The base color was perfect.
I just needed to sand the drawer fronts and lose the vintage decals and greenish tinge as well as the old varnish.
When I started to sand the decals, this is what I got...
The paper backing of the decal sort of left a silhouette and I liked it.
Well, real life called and when I got back to my project Jim did me a favor and finished sanding for me.
Yes, you guessed it, gone were the silhouettes.
He is always so helpful in my ventures that I did not have the heart to say anything.
So I added new clear knobs and decided to live with it for a while...
Not that this resembles any of her beautiful creations, but Dore inspired me to try this look...
Now I am not sure if I should sand the piece a bit more, especially the two top drawers...
Oh, and I painted my pink suitcases white...think they still need one more coat!
I do know that I picked the wrong knobs.
Can you say Anthropologie road trip?!!
I love the top...
The piece adds warmth to the room, just in time for Fall...
I think my suitcase stack needs to get a little higher!
I would love to know what you think...
And, if I decide I do not like it ~ I can always paint it white come Spring time!
Don't forget...I am having a Shabby Apple Giveaway!
Thank you for visiting, have a great day!!
