......TIME FOR THE REVEAL

FOR A MONTH NOW I HAVE BEEN IN EVERY NOOK & CRANNY I KNOW. I HAVE THROWN AWAY SOME GOOD STUFF, HAVE DONATED SOME BETTER STUFF & HAVE ROTATED & "FLUFFED" UP. DEFINITION OF "FLUFFED" UP IS WHEN YOU PUT STUFF AWAY & FIND OTHER THINGS IN SUITCASES CUPBOARDS,DRAWERS ETC. I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS I FORGOT I HAD & SOME I AM SELLING ON EBAY, OTHERS IN THE SPRING. I AM STILL SORTING & AMAZED AT THE THINGS I FIND.
I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE BLACK & WHITE THEME IN THE BEDROOM BECAUSE EVERYTHING I KEPT PULLING OUT FOR THE ROOM WAS BLACK, SO I WENT WITH IT :)






LOVE THE HIGH HEADBOARD,I WANTED TO PUT THE BED RISERS UNDER THE FEET, BUT IT'S A GOOD THING I DIDN'T THE BED IS ALREADY 35 HIGH, I HAVE TO TAKE A RUNNING LEAP :)





I BOUGHT THIS BED BECAUSE OF THE 2 DRAWERS ON EACH SIDE FOR SHEETS.....HANDY




THIS IS MY SIDE LOL YOU'D THINK I'D WEIGH 200 LBS!




SALESMAN SAMPLE CORNER CUPBOARD WITH OLD YELLOWWARE




SALESMAN SAMPLE WASHSTAND






OLD DOORS THAT I'VE USED FOR DIVIDERS ALL OVER THE HOUSE, NOW THEY HIDE MY DESK






I'VE HAD THIS DESK FOREVER IN THE ORIGINAL COLOR IT CAME.....MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL PAINT IT WHITE :) THE COOL THING ABOUT THIS DESK IS THAT THE LID COMES DOWN & IT'S A TABLE






I FOUND THIS OLD HAT BOX IN MY STUDIO & DECIDED SINCE I'M GOING WITH THE BLACK THEME, IT WENT PERFECT ON THE MANTEL.




THIS VINTAGE LACE PICTURE WAS MADE BY ME IN THE 80'S THAT'S WHEN I STARTED TAKING BITS & PIECES OF FAMILY MEMORABILIA & "IMMORTALIZE" IT. THIS WAS MY MOMS THINGS.....I AM STARTING TO MAKE THEM AGAIN & SELLING THEM ON EBAY & SOON IN MY JUNQUE STORE




THIS MANTEL WAS IN MY STUDIO, I SWITCHED IT OUT WITH THE ONE THAT WAS IN THE BEDROOM.




THIS TABLE WAS PURCHASED IN CT & I DIDN'T PAINT IT YET, BECAUSE I LIKE THE PATINA OF IT.....SEE, I DON'T PAINT EVERYTHING WHITE.





I HAVE 4 OF THESE RUSTY LIGHTS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO BE WIRED IN BUT I ELECTRIFIED THEM WITH A TOGGLE SWITCH.




A STACK OF STOOLS I FOUND IN THE SUNROOM




I COVERED THE HADE WITH SOME TOILE FABRIC.




THIS IS A DRESSER THAT I "FOUND" ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONE DAY.....IT WAS FOR SALE UNTIL I PAINTED IT WHITE. THAT'S WHEN I DETERMINE IF IT'S A KEEPER OR NOT; I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I PAINT IT, THEN I DECIDE.




LOVE THIS TABLE THAT I "PIECED" TOGETHER WITH PIECES PARTS OF WONDERFULLNESS LOL

MY BEDROOM REDO.....REVEAL COMING SOON

HAVE TONS OF THINGS TO DO FOR THE NEW YEAR, SO WILL BE POSTING PICS SOON OF THE BEDROOM REDO.....LOVE MY NEW BED. STAY TUNED
