Happenings

Craigslist never disappoints me. Yes, it takes time, but the score is so worth it. I just picked up this Chinoiserie wood chandelier over the weekend.

It was listed under "wood chandelier"...You're welcome.

This is my kitchen table, I didn't find it on CL, I found it in the local Classified Ads before CL existed.  I was not planning on taking this to Florida...but then I saw this table (third picture)...and I started rethinking it. I have begun the bleaching process....and it's going slow, but it's working. 

I found an amazing pair of vintage loveseats, yes CL. They are from a Park Avenue apartment. Don't let the photos fool you...this fabric has seen better days. I wanted them for their shape and size. 

Here they are in my garage. I won't be reupholstering them myself. 

And finally, I won this fabulous iPad sleeve from the Mix & Chic giveaway....thanks Jessie!

I love it! It's from MUJJO.

Have you acquired anything new...or new to you?

 

Let the Bleaching Begin

I thought I would put this out there to pressure myself into finishing this project. I am attempting to bleach some wood this weekend. Actually, I have already started but it's only in the stripping stage. I want it bleached....NOT limed. I love both looks, but it is the bleaching that I am after, like this

See, it is removing all color not applying some.

Although this cabinet is sweet, it is limed. For this look you will need to apply a liming wax. I have done this and it works well. 

But today, it's bleach. If you can't see the difference in the two styles, consider yourself lucky and go straight to the wax. It's much faster.  I will probably be posting images on Instagram if you want to get a sneak peak at my project.
