a pearl of a find
Posted on 5:35 PM by follow me
I found this little beauty at my favorite
little thrift store.
She was a plain dark wood color, very boring, but had beautiful lines,
She was a plain dark wood color, very boring, but had beautiful lines, with 9 fun apothecary type drawers.
I was trying to be a little creative by trying different dry brush effects on it (first white on brown, then gray on white).
But after several disappointing attempts
I ended up with this classic shabby white finish.

{I added these sweet porcelein knobs.}After each attempt at finishing this piece in a creative way I would just sit and stare at it and think, I just don't know if I love it. Once I painted it all white and added distressing, I knew I loved it and wasn't sure if I even wanted to sell it. That's how I knew it was done. When I have in mind to sell something but then decide maybe I'll keep it, that's when I know it's complete.
She reminds me of a library card catalog, great for small storage.I think I'll call her... Pearl (sounds like a cute, old Librarian, right?).
I do love this. However, it must go to a new home. If you are interested in bringing Pearl home email me for more info.
