old crush and old trunks...

Why do winter colds last so long?

It has been about 3 weeks for me.

Longer for Jim.

Seems like forever.

I am finally on the zpac.  I actually stayed on the couch all day yesterday and caught up on some taped shows and watched a few episodes of Big Valley on MeTV.

(Did anyone else have a crush on Heath?)

Anyway, I am hoping that tomorrow I can get back to painting.

The big push is on as our 3rd annual

At Home With White Show

at the shop is coming up on April 6th and 7th.

This is my tent space from last year

Prepping for the show, in addition to keeping my booth full (I just sold two big items) and working on some winter projects around my home is going to keep me very, very busy for the next few months.

Treasures have been starting to pile up downstairs as they get cleaned up or painted waiting for the show like this old steamer trunk ~ before...

And after...

Jim actually brought the old trunk home one day along with this other one...

This old beauty has already been painted and brought to the shop...

I love them in white, don't you?

Thank you for stopping by!

Feathered Nest Friday

wish I entered this one instead!

Have a great weekend!

another estate sale keeper...

Back in September I shared how I warmed up my Paris Hotel Suite for fall with this old distressed bureau...

You can read more from that post here.

While I liked the look, the piece just did not fill the space enough.

And, to be honest, I grew tired of the color and longed for a white piece.

So, I brought it in the shop a few weeks ago and sold it the same day!

A young couple bought it for a new house they were building and are going to use it for a vanity for a bathroom sink.

Why didn't I think of that?

I filled the space in my bedroom right away with the other piece I kept from the great estate sale I went to down the street from me...

The bureau was white with some hearts stenciled on the top drawer.  It was easy to fix with a fresh coat of paint.

It is an old heavy piece and I love the side detail...

The crisp white that I used made my comfy white chair look creamy white...

...so I switched the mirrors to even things out...

Don't you think it is a better fit for the space...

I do and you all know how I love vintage whites!

Thank you so much for visiting!

browsing the shop...

It has been a while since I took you all browsing through the Wrentham Country Store.

I thought I would share a peek or two with you this morning.

Love is in the air at the shop with Valentine's Day right around the corner...

In January we welcomed a new Shop Girl, Chris Glynn of Tutti Chic Designs (you probably already follow her bloc Tutti Chic)...

We have some wonderful pieces of furniture...

and pretty lamps...

We have a great selection of architectural salvage...

and garden statues...

As well as lots of great things to help feather your nest...

You can see more on our website or you can follow us on Facebook.

Speaking of Facebook...I made a page for the shop but I created a business page where I can not "like" other pages.

Any suggestions on how I can switch it without creating a new page?

Thank you all for browsing the shop with me today ~ have a wonderful week!!!
