1950s Chest of Drawers

Okay, girls and guys, it's been a while since my last furniture makeover.  

You know.

I like to think you've been waiting.

:-)

Choosing to take a step back from the creative process was difficult for me.  

But writing the eBook has clearly been a creative art all its own.

As we were completing the video for the book, I finally got to get my hands on a piece of furniture.  

This piece of furniture...

I wanted to celebrate the masculine and clean lines of this 1950s chest....and keep that gorgeous hardware.

And here he is....

You'll actually get to see me distress and stain this piece.

It's the most buttery mushroom color, and I can't wait to style and stage it for the book.

I'm swooning over that hardware. 

Like falling down, feeling weak in my skinny-jean knees, swooning.

 I had intended to stain and darken it, but the gold is such a fabulous play on the cool stain.

This one's for sale, and if it hangs around, he'll hang with me a TroyFest, a wonderful arts festival in Alabama.  I'm hoping to bring a whole bunch of Perfectly Imperfect and and get it out into the world.

:-)

Give me a shout at shaunna@harristire.com if you're interested.  This one's heavy, guys, so it will have to be freighted.  

Freighted, schmeighted.

Have you seen that hardware??

Can't wait to show you more of what we're getting into at the Opryland.  Head over to Layla's to see us on our way out of town.

Catch you later, friends.

:-)
