New/Old Piece in the Kitchen
I moved this piece (antique desk/dresser?) the other day from my dining room into the kitchen. I got it last year for $5 at a yard sale. Isn't that crazy?! I am going to leave it in its original wood finish because I already have a lot of painted wood in my house. It is in great condition. I am thinking I need to put a tension rod and some cute fabric in the opening. I love having something new to put more stuff on, of course! Hope you are having a great week so far!
That's a lovely piece! If you decide against the fabric, you might be able to put a tall basket in there also. You are always doing amazing things!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a nice find for $5! Everything I find in that ranges is seriously distressed to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't get tired of hearing how much I LOVE what you do!!!
ReplyDelete(LOVE!)
wow, $5.00 is amazing for that! it looks gorgeous as is!
ReplyDeleteWOW, it looks fantastic! What a great find. Thanks for sharing!

I love the clock on top of the old window. You think of the best ideas!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I have one almost like it in my shed. I have sent the boys after it and I am going to paint it. Thanks for all of your great decorating ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece! Even though I paint everything I still think the natural look is best on this one!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a wonderful decorator!
I love it! You STOLE it for $5!
ReplyDeleteYou got a real bargain there. So very nice in your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet piece! It seems to fit so nicely in that spot, too. The wood look gives a warm feeling for this time of year.
ReplyDelete$5! That crazeeee! Crazy wonderful! That's a lovely piece and you can do so much with it! What fun!

I've got a desk (dressing table) almost identical to that, but it has an oval mirror attached to it. The wood is beat up, so I'm thinking about painting it white. But I never thought of using it outside my guest room...great idea.
ReplyDelete$5.00 for that piece? Craziness! Good find! It looks great in its new home and I totally agree about not painting it. It is in beautiful condition.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie! What a pretty piece of furniture. I wouldn't paint it either, it looks just perfect! Can't believe you only paide $5 for it! Wow!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

It's perfect. I like some natural wood in a room too. You obviously attend the best garage sales!
ReplyDeleteI love that piece! And I really like the finish as is too. I can't believe you got it for just $5.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece and $5?? That's amazing!! It is decorated perfectly of course...I love the pumkin topiary with the scarecrow. Too cute! Kristen
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and that is amazing that you got it for five dollars! :) Is that a pumpkin topiary in the picture? It is SO cute! Did you make it yourself? :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a fantastic week! :)
Love all the curves on that cute piece. Mimi
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You really have the touch!

I LOVE this piece and can't believe you got it for $5.00. I have an old dresser in my basement and this gives me an idea. Your home is always beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece and to get it for $5 makes it even sweeter.

That looks great there. I like the wood finish too.
ReplyDeleteYou always find fabulous deals! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask you how you stood your post up. I happened upon one at a garage sale last week. I see in your photo you have something attached to the bottom of yours. What is it that you put on yours so that it stands up?
Looks good in its new home. I remember reading what a great deal you got when you found it! wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm out and about reconnecting with my blogging buddies that I missed so much while I was MIA. Hope all is well with you and yours!
I think you made a good decision not to paint it. For second-hand furniture, I use those furniture "pens" to touch up scratches on wood.
ReplyDeleteWow, What a steal! I love it. More display space is always a plus!
ReplyDeleteOh my golly! I can't believe you only paid $5 for that! It looks great, and has so much interest. Have fun with it.

I love your fall decorations! Especially your pumpkin topiary! :o)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how I never found you before now. I just love the way you decorate.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece... I agree it is too nice to paint and believe nothing is safe with me... Great arrangements... your home looks lovely.
