Birds + the Machine.

Ive got 1/4 of a battery bar left on my lap top...grr...dammit. Figures. Im exhausted and just want to lay here in bed, in the dark, in my jammies and write...but NO, I cant...now, I gotta chop-chop and get this done before that battery turns red and starts to flash..So, no pressure to type as fast as I think WITH proper spelling and grammer *groan* Back in the good old days of telephones with cords  and cassette players....this sort of stress, panic and fear would NEVER happen...

Moving on

I teased last post about a dresser I did and altho, I have a small hoard (h-o-a-r-d) of finished pieces to show, Ill be chop-chop quick and follow thru with that teaser.

Before:

 

My client wanted the dresser to go-with, but not match the ladder shelves I also did for her..So, off I ran with my imagination. Robin's couch has a large floral pattern to it..I decided to use some of the colors in it and go with a floral-nature-outdoor-sy theme, just minus flowers...

 

 

Birds. Birds and tree's are in the same family as flowers no? In anycase, I sanded it, primed it, painted it grey and then hauled it into my living room with perfect views of my tv and got comphy to start hand painting...I watched a whole lotta this lady....I love her.. Hey, we all have vices and weakness's. For me, its my weird love of Judy Judy..

 

sometimes, in certain situations, I stop and ask myself.."what would Judge Judy do?"

In anycase, I made it perfectly clear to Robin, that JJ had no influence on her new dresser design.

 

 

 

I wanted to add the burgundy-brown color that I had done as the under color on the ladder shelves...but on the design, it was just too much...so, I painted the vintage hardware I found at a flea market and called it absolutly perfect!!



 

 

 

 

 

 My throat hurts and I have barely a voice. I went on a solo road trip today to deliver some furniture ..solo meaning alone...meaning I could listen to my own playlist the whole 2 hours there and 2 hours home and 2 hours of errands inbetween...it was glorious. The 5+ hours of lipsyncing karaokee really did a number on my vocal cords tho...and this song was the biggest culprit.

 

YAY! I made it before the flashing red at least. 

 

Edited to add: In my rush to beat the battery, and the clock did say 2:15am all said and done... I totally missed the golden opportunity Ive been waiting for to brag about Lisa and Krysta from Cameo Boutique!..THATS the place I went yesterday, to drop off some more ReVived Vintage pieces for their shop AND for some inspirations AND for some good ol fashioned chatt'in and laugh'in. I always look forward to going there...Is it too soon for me to say I love them? Well, I dont care..they are genuine-awesome ladies, and Im so grateful they welcome me and ReVived Vintage into their space with open arms!! They also totally understand, in my excitment of things, I sometimes swear like a sailer and tell inappropriate dirty jokes, but guess what!  They're totally ok with that too!!!... Please be sure to check them out!!

Heres the important links your gonna need!

 Also, I wanted to share..aka: show off, my own brand new website...It took me forever..and ever and ever and ever and EVER, but I finally made one...all by my big girl self. Seriously, making your own website: lengthy process..also frustrating at times....My advice is, Have wine...the confusing parts seemed to make more sense after a glass..
