The REAL Recycle!

I love the stories of recycling...no, not bottles and newspapers (I am not "green").
The stories of furniture that I know the history of...

The dresser--that belonged to Wally's parents...when I was was painting it, I found a date stamp from the manufacturer :  Feb 1957   This dresser saw it all....and Sarah inherited it from her Grandpa.  I told Shirley (Wally's sister) that I was going to paint it....I don't think she liked that idea.  I do not have a before photo now--but picture dark cherry wood, and worn brass handles...
Now....

All done in the tiny apartment garage--late at night...after a long day of painting at the new house...
There is a mirror too, but that won't go on until we are in the house.

And the nightstand--this also had the same past..

Hello Beautiful!

 

 

This vanity--remember it from before?  I was going to stain it, but SO glad I painted it. There is a mirror too, but that won't go on until we are in the house

Thank you Hobby Lobby--you have the most awesome material!

 

Finally, this little desk--she was in rough shape--but she has a glass top..and curves and lines...I loved it. We found it at Habitat Restore--lots of love and a lots of work, and some hardware (from the Restore!)...look what we have:

 

 

Dirty Butter is going on a break for a bit--we are moving this week...once we are "somewhat" settled, I will be addressing the freebie that I found...see previous entries...going to be GREAT.
