Neighborly Love

My sister lives in a fab neighborhood about a mile from me-
I have to say, she has the best neighbors!

Earlier last year, she gave me a quick call early Easter morn,
 that her neighbor had put some furniture out to be tossed-
"Was I interested?"

No one who loves to paint furniture is ever not interested!

I zipped down and lucky me, I found a great table and 6 chairs-
all of the Pottery Barn variety!

It is still in my garage but that's not for me to makeover-
my daughter is claiming this for her apartment-lucky gal!

But, a few weeks back, the same lovely neighbor called my sis
 to see if I was interested in a desk she was getting rid of?

Sight unseen, I said, "YES"!!

It was a beauty with just a couple of repairs I couldn't wait to tackle!
 
 
a little putty here and there


 
a drawer needed some glue





So, after some glue and wood putty
and my fave Annie Sloan chalk paint and Martha Stewart's
 metallic silver paint for the hardware-





 
 
 






I even added some dollar store shelf paper inside the drawers!
I've gotta say-
this is just what the front hall needed-
light - bright- and storage to boot!

Take care, gotta fly

 
PS: Thanks again Megan- I'm always here to catch your throw aways!!

Home decorating magazines

With all the snow we've been having in the Northeast, school has been out, so I have been home from work-boo hoo!!  I have been lucky enough to have extra time to drool over Ballards, Horchows, Pottery Barn and Home Decorators Collection. 
Some of my favorite things in these home decor mags are:

Victoria Mirror

  "French Quarter" Lantern
      French Quarter Lantern from Horchow

Cornflower Embroidered Pillow Cover, 18"
 Family Tree Pillow, 22"
 Pillows- Pottery Barn


Now all I have to do is figure out how to replicate these ideas on a dime!!  Well, take care, gotta fly-Claire
