Storage Space Shortage

Since we have packed our garage with our junkin finds our formal living and dining rooms have been transformed into the over flow storage. If you look real hard you might find the actual furniture that belong in the rooms. Every time we clear it out we buy more.. it's a vicious cycle of clearing and cleaning and then re stocking... Weather permitting we hope to have most of it out in the next couple of weeks.

Estate Sale Finds

The last two weeks of estate sale shopping have been a bust for me. Coming home each time with an empty SUV. You can imagine my reluctance when my mom suggested we drive about 25 miles to one. So glad I did cause I scored these beautiful dressers and matching night stands. I usually do not buy big furniture at these sales, they are priced too high for me to make much of a profit, but I got a killer deal on these. Here are pictures of my score. Please excuse my poor picture taking, My husband is a much better photographer.

This dresser has a mirror.

Not sure when I will get these painted but once I do I will post the pictures.

New addtions

My space at Cottage Charm was looking rather sparse after the Ivy St. Market. We sold several pieces so I had to get to work and crank out some more furniture.

The weather was nice last week so I was able to finish a couple of pieces. Here is a shabby dresser that I painted white and distressed. There is also a matching desk and night stand

Painted Dresser and Mini Storage Cabinet

Today I finished these two items. With January being so sunny and warm here in Southern California how could I not take advantage of the weather and get some painting done. This dresser came out great, all the drawers open with ease.

This little storage cabinet was green, but I decided that a more industrial look would make it stand out more... So did I pull it off?

Happy New Year!!!

Hope everyone has recovered from New Years Eve. The Hubby and I took the kids to Universal Studios. The weather was great and it wasn't crowded. The kids had a blast.
The rest of the weekend was spent working on projects. Our first month at Cottage Charm was successful!! We hope it continues.
The weather has been in 80's, perfect for painting. Here are a couple of pieces that we finished and added to our space. I hope the weather holds out so we can get more work done.
Hope everyone has a blessed week.
