"Wag More Bark Less"

Because I have been sharing pictures of my dogs almost as much as my furniture

 (because let's face it, my life revolves around my daughter, dogs and work)

 I feel it necessary to share some heartbreaking news.

At just 8 months old, my little boxer Alvin past away yesterday morning.

 

I really miss my sweet boy, but am thankful for what time I did get with him

 

 

<3

 

 

 

 

 

Now, back on topic.. I am still in the middle of a couple furniture projects but

 because I don't want to leave anyone who reads this feeling sad, I thought I'd share some of my faves from other dealers at the flea

 

 

 

 

 you can understand my obsession for this piece here

 

 

 

I have never seen an all wood sofa before.. LOVE it. wish I owned it. Have no place for it. Can't really afford it.
 SOLD (not to me)

 

 

I generally prefer eclectic over matching sets.. however this chest of drawers and nightstand...

 

 



 

 

 

as well as this table and chairs, are gorgeous enough to be an exception.

Before & Afters and Client Work

CHAIR BEFORE

 

my sister informed me her shower curtain is made from the same fabric but in green.

This is acceptable. A chair cushion.. not so much.



AFTER

 

then again, maybe I shouldn't talk since it's now covered with a burlap coffee sack.

 

This chair is coming soon to Etsy!

Getting your Hands Dirty



Not long ago I met a person who was "flipping" a house that had furniture left in it and was looking to sell it all.

before

This person told me a dealer from another local shop had gone out to the property already.

I was told that the other dealer left empty handed because the furniture was "dirty" and "broken."

I'd like to thank that dealer, because there were some great pieces left for yours truly.

 AFTER




The buffet in this post and the cabinet from this post also came from this property.
Too dirty?
People are funny.
