Precious Finds

I seem to be finding lots of gold items lately. In addition to some nice shabby pieces. Just wanted to share, while I finish up my latest redesigns.

I believe this is a glass holder, but the image that came to my mind was a crown.


I spotted this dresser set at an estate sale, and loved all the beautiful detail.





I found this piece in the garage of the same estate. It is missing it's base, but I have lots of candidates in my garage.


A vintage painting, and a large metal mirror. The mirror can lay on a dresser, or hang on the wall.


The two drawer stand is "Made In Italy". I'll be giving it new drawer pulls. How do you like that metal shelf sitting on top.


More gold.





OK, lets readjust our eyes. Here are a few more finds.

A nice little shabby piece.


A shabby cabinet, dress form, and two shabby bird houses.


Almost done with this piece.


See ya soon.

    Wow...I need to shop where you shop. I was inspired by your posts and went to the local Goodwill, but they had nothing like the stuff you find. What they did have was overpriced.
