We brought it home from the thrift store with a plan to repaint and sell it,
but the longer I looked at it, the more I fell in love with its "moody blue" color.
And so after removing the paint from the top, the rest was sanded gently,
covered with wax and buffed to a soft, smooth finish.
A part of my heart is hoping no one answers the ad I placed offering it for sale..
Don't blame you, Rebecca. Love this blue. Maybe no one will answer the ad.
ReplyDelete:) Too late. Already a nibble! Coming to check it out this evening! Oh well. I would have had to get rid of something to make room for it.
DeleteSo did it finally sell? I had hoped it's end up with you, since you liked it, Rebecca. Susan
ReplyDeleteI only listed it yesterday and a lady & her husband are coming to see it tonight. I was pretty sure it would sell. I priced it quite low since we got it for little ourselves....
DeleteSOLD!
DeleteI think it's perfect! It reminds me of furniture from Italy or the Mediterranean! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt had that "vibe" for me, too, Colleen! "Indigo" is what my sister called it. Sigh. I shall only be able to look at photos of it since someone picked it up day before yesterday....
DeleteGreat piece. I really like the last photo with the finish close up. Hope it went to a good home.

Well, that is the name of the game, buy what you like and sell it for profit so you can buy more! I'm hope you got a good price :-)
ReplyDeleteYep! It's a sickness! :)
DeleteWhat a great way to make some extra money. This would look great in a little boy's room! HOPE the new owners take special care of it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful my friend! You do make money in a wonderful way and how pretty this piece is.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.

It's kind of my husband's hobby - refinishing furniture. And we certainly don't have room for more :
