here is the Before:
She wanted it white, and white she got! My husband delivered it today and she LOVED it, makes me love my job that much more :) :)
So it gets even better!!!! My husband as he is leaving walks by a vintage couch and says "oh my wife would just love that couch" and she says to him " oh then take it! I want her to have it" he said no, a few times and offered to pay for it, and she said "no, i insist, take it"... just give me a discount on the next thing i buy from her" she went on to tell him a story of why she didn't want it anymore and was going to get rid of it anyway.... Ummm how awesome!! this thing is gorgeous! I'm keeping it! for now anyway :) :)
here it is!!!! eeeeeeekkk!
can you even believe my luck! I am going to make it up to her! linking up to :

That sofa is 2die4. I would touch up the carvings with a little accent paint, but the fabric looks fairly neutral. I love seeing these old buffets and hutches painted in a light Chalk Paint. The renewed life is such a joy knowing it will live for many more years in someone's home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! You did a fab job of refinishing that buffet!
ReplyDeleteJust came over from Savvy Southern Style. Your hutch is a wonderful transformation....but bless your husband for speaking up and bringing that couch home. It is Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteYou really done a great JOB. Well done, girl.
ReplyDeleteI am starting my own soon. Wish me luck. Arrggh! Not easy, though. I am a banker but my heart is shouting for her passion.
You're giving me so much inspiration. TY a mill.
Enjoy your w/end.
