Can We Do Something Else?...the Waveland

Along came a buffet on Craigslist in February, price $50.

Hey Dan, it's my birthday, there's my present!

SO,

he was sent he went to get it in Chicago.

It's HUGE.

But in the garage it sat for March, April, May,

~June, and July,~
and along came a BIGGER project,

and now August is here.

Dan, can we take a break from the camper restoration and

DO SOMETHING ELSE?

(There's a boatload of furniture in the garage).

So, out came the sander and primer,

and then my paintbrush,

and here is my 1920s Waveland,

purchased on Waveland Ave, Chicago.

(ok Dan, I went back and fixed the spelling for 'Waveland' on the blog).

I did paint the hardware...
(I have a secret thing for painted hardware,
especially painted tear-drop hardware, don't ask me why, I really don't know).

Some of you know that we keep redoing buffets

only to send them on their merry way...

but the Waveland

got sent straight to the front room.

She will be my new festive furniture piece,

to decorate with pumpkins, and nativities, and spring bunnies.

I love this photo with my slice of blue ceiling showing.

And,
the garage is now on the way to being organized,
so I am content with that, too.







My candlestick holders
and Sacred Heart are from an old church,
aren't they neat?
Those are the finds I never pass up.







And then she went to party at...
