| OLD Showroom - BEFORE |
I took our front entry as well as where we usually show most of my furniture,
and transformed it into a pretty and comfortable guest bedroom.
This is a 136" x 69" room, thats just over 11 feet long by just under 6 feet wide.

$3 yard sale faux wood blinds I spray painted white and of course the vintage lamp I rewired for you.

Georges granddaughter gets her own hooks to hang stuff and my beloved iron stool to sit on,
or climb on to reach all the neat things.
BEFORE seen above
AFTER seen below
The quilted green pillow shams are from our last Florida trip
and the king size yard sale quilt was only $15.
I built a custom sized bed because the room isnt big enough. We chose to used the Queen size
BYOB mattress (camping air mattress) because it would be flexible with the fit.
I built a raised platform underneath so the girls have tonnes of room to hide their luggage.
There is also extra foam and padding between the wood platform and the air mattress.
I hope they have some great nights of sleep, cause George plans to run them ragged.
Me thinks he forgets hes dealing with a 4 year old.

I had been relegated to the corner
of my owners yard sale, like a child on a time-out.
No one looked at me, no one would talk to me. Why should they I only had one drawer knob,
paint was falling off me, my drawers wouldnt even open. I was beyond chic, I was just shabby.
From my corner view I saw the nice couple drive
in. After looking around they bought a few of my
friends. One at a time the nice man would pay my
owner and then tuck each of them gently in their
car. I then began to pout. There I was hiding in the
corner with all hope running out.
All of a sudden the nice lady looked my way. Would she fork out the money and pay?
I got so excited!
She crossed the yard and started inspecting me,
she even turned me upside down to see.
Soon I was on my way to a new home.
She didnt think I was an ugly garden gnome!
.......
First, she came at me with a screw driver,
prying at my drawer.
I wasnt gonna give up that easy.
This was gonna be a chore.
Then came a pry bar and a hammer,
I thought this is really gonna hurt.
She got all my drawers open
with a lot of hard work,
So rather then a home for mice
I really started to feel rather nice.
Then I got some new paint,my drawers were lined,
and I even got a new shine. My drawers got new jewelry,
Shes not playing no tom foolery!
I live happily ever afterwith a nice lady they foundwhere I now live in her home town.THE ENDThis story is being told at:

I have a small obsession with the Bellora Chandelier at Pottery Barn
So I made my own.
Supplies and Tools included:
I painted the whole chandelier brown, then over sprayed it with
the black till it was the color I wanted.
I used the dremel to drill holes in the metal of the chandelier
so I could screw the eye hooks into.
I made my own hangers for my acrylic balls.
I just may look for some smooth glass ornament balls at Christmas
time to replace these acrylic prisms I used.
I LIKE IT!!
