Happy POWW!  Before I get to the party I want to share with you a couple pictures from the space Sarah and I have just finished setting up at Wild Rose & Co for our new venture, Persephone!  We will have our grand opening this Saturday from 10-5, but the shop is also open Weds through Saturday!  And please note, you do not need to get your eyes checked.  I had to blue out one item as it will be in Annapolis Home magazine and I can’t show pictures of it yet. 🙂

And we are proudly carrying some of the awesome pom pom garland’s my talented and crafty friend, Ali, made!  Sarah and I had so much fun setting up and both laughed that even if we sell nothing we will have fun decorating it each month! 🙂  Of course, we do hope to sell stuff, too.  If you are local, please come out and see us this Saturday!  We would LOVE to have you there!

Ok, this is one of my absolute favorite pieces I am going to share with you today.  If I had room or the need I would keep it!  But I love the white midcentury dresser Chris and I already have and it fits more than this one.  So up for sale it goes.

I am sharing all the details, and the how-to’s over at the DIY Club today, but will share with you a quick before and after.  Oh, and you will want to go check it out because I swear by the wood filler AND I tried out a new finishing wax that I love!  It was so easy to use!  Anyhow, here is the before.  All the screws had fallen out as I drove home with it, thus all the handles barely hanging on!  Plus, it makes the before/after even more dramatic! 😉

 And after”

To see all my projects at the DIY Club, just click on the button:

Also, wanted to let you know the new monthly DIY Club Project Party starts TOMORROW!  Click here to see the fabulous prize package!  And head over there tomorrow to link up your DIY projects!

    I wish I lived closer to stop by and visit and shop! Leave it to me to live clear across the country.

    I love your piece. It is soooo awesome. I’m heading over to get the scoop on the filler and wax. Always love me a new product to try.

    WooHoo! That is just so very, very exciting, and it looks so great! Keep us updated on how things go there! Gaaaaa, I’ve been searching for a reasonably priced midcentury piece for months now. Love yours! If people out here get a load of the magic you do with them and they’ll start hoarding them!!

    Your shop looks so adorable!!! I want to come very badly. Not sure if it will work out as I just found out we have an earlier than usual hockey game. I will try!

    Your shop space looks gorgeous, Cassie, I am so excited for you! My stuff is selling faster than I can replenish it at Piper & rush at present… I have two weeks more to wait and then we will be in our own home and I will be able to get seriously painting again (can’t wait!) Are they some vintage pinnys I can see hanging in your shop space? I have a bit of a collection of them, they are just so cute!

    I want to go to your cute little shop! Seriously, what a delightful area… love all the frames on the wall!
    I had to ask my husband who Persephone was in Greek Mythology, since he knows all that stuff. He thought it was a very cool name for a shop!

    So excited for you and your booth space. I have spaces at a couple of stores and it is so much fun. I love the thrill of checking my sales each day to see what items have found new homes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do…who I am kidding, I know you will! Great job on the dresser by the way!

    I’m a bit naughty – I scan to the first photo, and thought ‘what’s going on here, there’s a blury bit’! Now I’m intrigued! Look forward to a reveal! All the very best for the store – it looks great and I’m sure it will be a success.

    I love the dresser – the change in pulls makes an amazing difference!

    I wish you could have seen my jaw drop when I saw that dresser. Bam…on the floor. I am seriously wanting that bad boy for Morgan’s room…sadly, the cash is low…or I would drive over there and tie it to the roof of my car so it would have a special home. Well, special for me, but maybe not for it cuz it would probably get destroyed by two boys and their cat.

    Best wishes on your new venture!!

Piece of Work Wednesday Furniture Link Part Number 38!

by 21 Comments

Hi all! Do you remember yesterday when I told you I was painting a dresser the same color as my new yellow front door?  You don’t?  OK, good.  Because it didn’t happen.  Well, it happened, but a slight miscalculation took my yellow dresser from being happy and cheerful to being this stripped monstrosity…

Do you like the gray drawer?  I got really bored with stripping and decided to see what it would look like with gray stain.  I don’t like it so it will be getting a totally new to be decided treatment. And hopefully I can finish stripping it so I can reveal it in 2012.  Every time I strip a piece I remember why I don’t like doing it.  What a pain!!!

So stay tuned… maybe I will have something to show you later this week.  After today, I am not making any promises.  So what have you been up to! Can’t wait to see your pieces…. I need some inspiration today.  All this stripping has got me feeling uninspired.

Here are the rules!
1. Link to your permalink for the post- not a general blog link.
2. Must be a follower.
3. FURNITURE revamps or builds only!
4. Include my button in your post or sidebar.
5. No etsy shops!
6. Your project must be new here!  It is ok if it is an old project, but this must be the first time you are linking it here.

OK, people, inspire me!!!

    Vintage verging on antique pine with lots of living.

    I’ve got one in my bedroom, bought it back east in about 1976 or so. Canad1ana and it was old then. I can see that mine was stripped way back when – bits of cream in the cracks and crannies. Decorated by ds with suntan cream at one time.

    Looking forward to seeing what you do with the dresser.

    No furniture this week but I did see a tip on TV awhile ago about stripping. Basically, lather it on, cover it in plastic (like cheap drop cloth plastic) and leave it for 4 hours or even overnight if the paint is really thick. The paint should come right off with a scraper. Haven’t tried it but seems worth a shot.

    You are so funny changing your mind like that. Now the anticipation of what you are going to do is getting to me!

    Hmm…I haven’t done any furniture over the past couple of days. I’ll have to look and see if I have something I haven’t linked to your parties yet…Or, I could be patients and just wait until tomorrow when I do my new post…

    Take care,
    Lisa

    Are you by chance having problems leaving comments??!! I can’t on certain blogs for some reason. We’ll see if this works! It’s been going for about a week! Also, I can’t ‘follow’ anyone because the link isn’t there.
    Are you having those problems??

    p.s. like your little dresser, it’ll be adorable I’m sure!

    Cassie, I JUST saw that you picked my tree house as the winning project over at CSI! Thank you so much! I have entered many times during my one year of blogging and I am so excited that this project won! Our family worked so hard together and it was the best experience! I really appreciate it! I just posted a ‘Great Outdoors’ Birthday party for my son which was centered around the tree house! Stop by if you have a chance! Thank you again! Christie at Three Pixie Lane
