The Mamie Dresser {Before & After}

Like most of my items, 
I found a nice little solid oak dresser 
a few weeks ago at an auction.










For some reason, I didn't get a before picture, 
but you can see her hiding behind the yellow dresser in my shop.

She's a little shy.


Yeah.

She didn't like that she was old and out-dated.

So, she had a little mid-life crisis.

At first she decided she needed a makeover with a big bang...


But after checking herself out, 
decided that really wasn't her style.



It was a little too much for 
a lady such as herself.

So, after some hemming and hawing...


She found a happy medium 
that gave her some pizzazz...


but wasn't too overwhelming.


You know, kind of like Mamie 
and the red silk petticoat that Rhett Butler gave her.

LOL!


Except she doesn't have to be asked 
to flash her red a little.

;)


Hey...

If ya got it, might as well flaunt it.

Right?

Dream Big,

  8. Well I need a makeover too, and since I like what it did for Mamie, paint my handles red and slap on a bit of blue and I'm good to go.
