French Chair

I love the look of this chair.  the curved legs, arms and don't you die for for carved flowers at the top, bottom of chair, legs, arms?  They make it so beautiful.  There is some wear on the seat.

Style Quiz for your home from HOMEGOODS

http://www.homegoods.com/hghq_quiz.asp

Go to this site and take the quiz.  See what your style in your home is called.  What fun!  See here what they said about my style.

Nancy, you are a Country Classic

You have a naturally refined sensibility with an appreciation for tradition and history. You value beauty, craftsmanship, and family heirlooms, but you like to open things up with pretty, easy-going pieces like painted wood or distressed furniture, lovely florals and other patterns, and bunches of fresh flowers that give your home a breezy, relaxed feeling. You love unique finds, have a thrifty, creative side, and can make these things work together.

You value creativity. You are stylish and fun loving, and can be an inspiration to others. You have a natural sense of drama, and you know you have to be willing to take risks—whether with colors, finishes, furniture choices, or ideas—for your home to stand out. Your home can be happy and lively and the place all of your friends want to be.

That's me for sure.  Check it out and leave a comment about what it says about you.  Jamie at Vintage Revial is doing this as well.

Minus a Real Brain

Sometimes I find really, I mean Really Great Furniture and then my left brain says but it's missing a handle or it has marks on the top . . oh my what ever will I do??? I mean really, what was I thinking??? Just because the Bakelite handle was broken on the bottom drawer and there were marks on the top of this dresser and vanity, clearly I was not thinking . . . at all.

I was contacted by a dear friend who wanted more pictures of the vanity and I sent them. Some mention of the dresser was in there but I missed that completely.

You can see where I wiped off the paint.
Interest was expressed by the buyer and then mention again of needing photos of the dresser and perhaps purchase of both if they liked them.

My heart sank, in my tenny brain, when my real self was missing, I painted the dresser and mirror, chalk paint blue. Can you imagine how my heart sank when the buyer perhaps wants the set only one piece is now blue. One good thing is that chalk paint before it is waxed will wipe off without damage to the finish.   Can I wipe it off and make it like it was before??  I don't really know.  This is a very hard lesson to learn. Be patient when you have a really nice set and don't paint it!!

My Intentions Were Good

I just finished a blue buffet, ornate antique, with a stunning mirror, got it loaded and delivered it to Merchant Square Antique Marketplace around 12:30pm and it sold before I could get home to post a photo of it. I was thrilled at the sale, sad to see it go, I did look for a place in my home for it, I will try and be better about it next time. . . . . .

See what I mean, all painted Duck Egg Blue, waxed, shined, and now in it's new home.
