If you are a furniture painter, or just a thrifter in general, you know that a quality PAIR is really hard to come by! When I saw these two Drexel dressers, I knew I had to have them! Drexel Furniture is a brand that is well known in the vintage furniture industry, so if you can find a quality piece made by them, be sure to snag it up!
This is what I call a "quick flip'! Sometimes you get those pieces that are just about in perfect condition... and all the furniture painters say "YESSSSS!" The hardware was nice, and it was very clean upon arrival which is rare! I loved the brass "feet" on this piece, so I knew I wanted to… Continue reading Black Mid Century Modern Dresser

I'm longing for simplicity... and wondering how can I make things easier on myself. Unloading and dispersing a large tote of Fall items throughout my house is not going on the "to do list" this year! I saw this Kraft paper style pumpkin from a few years ago sitting in the tote, and it spoke to me (this pumpkin is originally from Hobby Lobby).
