Yes I'm still here!!

I have neglected my blog lately but not my junking!! I have a lot of  craptastic (from Mandy @Vintage Revivals dictionary) stuff to post about and a few pics to share.  I recently started a new job that I lurve but you know when you start something new it kinda cuts into other areas of your life until you get all the kinks worked out.  I just took some furniture I painted to a young friends floral/gift shop.  He is very talented and has a great knack for decorating.  With those things moved to his place, I have begun working on some new projects.  Here are a few sneak peeks.........
beautiful carved table, not sure what color I am going with here.....
The double ugly, dusty, heavy twins.  I already started removing hardware.  Great retro pieces...okay use your visionary goggles here.....
This is upside down because it needs a  little TLC from Mr. Brilliant.  Overall a great piece that is going to get a funky color....I can just feel it!!
Don't worry I have the drawer, just got ahead of myself before I realized I needed a pic.  This will be a tame piece probably black with a little distressing...maybe.
                         Okay I did finish one thing...this chalkboard.  I like the light green color. Now the next thing is NOT for sale, because at $5 and working, it is MINE!! No rewiring, it plugs into the wall!! Only one crystal was missing and guess what? (yep) I have a replacement. (Did you really think I wouldn't?)
Now onto WTH was I thinking....okay I was thinking it's only a dollar!!!!This is like the biggest stinkin' table lamp I have ever seen.  Yes the red glass is very pretty and I'm not sure the picture does it justice in the size department but here she is in all of her gianormous glory...
and I just realized I don't even know if it works!!! Can you say Dollar DAZE???
Now to the piesta resist ons... (no I don't spell or speak French so I just used my phonetic connection to make my point.!) Here is my new found treasure and it has a name  BIG RED! My new/old 69 burb and here is "our" slogan....lotta junk, we don't need no trunk.....
                                                          17 and a half feet of fun!!
                                             Updates on projects coming soon!! Peace my friends!

  1. Love all the potential in this blog. I know.....we get busy and things pile up. My garage is over-flowing with "stuff" that needs attention. Thanks for commenting on Facebook. And thanks for following Shabby Friends.
