Don't forget to check out Susan's blog for all the great Metamorphosis Monday posts!
Here's a little switch-a-roo I've just done. Back in October my friend Linda and I were at our favorite flea market (the same one Layla posted about last week) and she spied this little dresser without drawers or doors. Ya'll remember Linda, don't you? The one with the fab-u-lous cottage house. If you missed her pretty home, check it out here. Anyway, she thought this would look great in my bathroom filled with pretty white towels and other "stuff" (we all like stuff, right?). All this time, I've been thinking about that little run-down dresser and did I really want/need it. The chest I've had in my bathroom was a real "before and after" that turned out pretty good. You can see for yourself here. While I really liked that black chest, it really took up too much room and I filled it up with things that needed to be put somewhere else or thrown out. So, I decided to move that black chest to the guest room that is done in cream and black toile, and move this little dresser in, not so much for function as for form. A lot of inspiration pictures I've gravitated toward are featuring some dark woods mixed in with the all white scheme so for $45 (the cost of the dresser), I figured I couldn't go wrong. If it didn't work, I wouldn't be out of much money.
Here it is at the flea market (sorry for the blurry picture)
And here's what it looks like in my bathroom
I'm going to put some baskets in where the drawers are missing.
I've also been looking around for a little scale. I saw this one at the same flea market for just $15 so I grabbed it too.
Judy, what an amazing transformation! I love what you did with the cabinet ... it's perfect for your bathroom and was a great bargain, too.
ReplyDeleteI love lamps in unusual places and that little one looks so pretty in your cabinet. And I especially like the lamp in your kitchen with the pretty little scale.
You did GOOD!
What a great metamorphosis! I love the use of the dresser without drawers. I never would have thought of it!

Judy, the dresser is wonderful in the bathroom. Give you a place for some really great decorative items and the extra storage is always a plus. The new little scale is so pretty next to the lamp. What great finds. Hugs, Marty

ReplyDeleteHey, Judy! So you came to B'ham while I went to Nashville. Everything looks great at your house. Your new blog makeover looks great too.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful cruise & we'll catch up when you get back. I'm thinking about coming down there & going to the East?? something antique place that Layla told me about, so the 3 of us can meet up. Will have to find a good day for that after you get back. It might have to wait until after the March 7th flea market now, so we'll talk.
I love that cabinet! We did something similar and put baskets in it for our grandchild's room. I think I'll post it soon. Linda
ReplyDeleteThis looks really great. What a great job of repurposing this piece. And I love the scale, too cute. Kathy

Judy, I love what you did with the cabinet! Love the scale too and that lamp sitting next to the scale is very pretty! Nancy
ReplyDeleteHey, just wanted to say hi. Originally found you at RMS and clicked over. My parents were originally from the south, and I was fortunate enough to be born on one of their stints here in Colorado, but the south is near and dear to me; and I have countless family members down there.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what you've posted and I stop by often to see anything new you've put up.
Take care, God bless, and carry on with what appears to be a joyous life you have.
Hi Judy! Great finds! Love how you decorated the chest; I could even see some of the small wood trays you can pick up at Michaels in where the drawers used to be! Love old scales too and it looks perfect in your kitchen!!! Have a GREAT time sailing in Mexico! Hope you have sunny weather and lots of fun! Stay Safe- Sincerely, Jeannette
ReplyDeleteJudy
ReplyDeleteNow I NEVER would have thought of that--but you did! Looks great! Enjoy Mexico!
That looks so pretty! You have really created a beautiful retreat for everyone who visits your home. I hope you have a great cruise!
ReplyDeleteJudy, you're all over the Atlanta paper this morning with Eddie Ross!

Trisha Marie is an expert musician and writer that likes playing string instruments and currently talking about the Cello Rentals and the Cello. Violin Video Lessons by Eric Lewis World renowned Shinichi Suzuki's method of teaching a child to play a violin is not your typical instructional method, but according to many, it may be the most natural. Many people swear by it, indicating that their children make incredible musical gains in very short periods of time. Other people are not complimentary at all, indicating that while many of the students produced by the Suzuki method are great at imitating things they hear, and many even have some good instrumental skills, they are not well-rounded musicians. Some critics even claim that many Suzuki students cannot even read music.
