Less than 3 weeks away from my first one day booth sale!! I have been keeping very busy turning trash to treasure, so to speak. I sure hope the booth goes well! It will really be a learning experience to see what sells and what generates interest.
I have been painting, waxing, sanding....
spay painting, stenciling, gluing....
making a general mess. My house hasn't been clean all Summer!!!
Even bike tires are not safe!!!
Of course a few pieces have played switcharoo and ended up in my house rather than for the sale. Not that this piece is tremendously interesting....but it has a ton of room. The top opens to a deep storage, and then the large drawer on the bottom. It replaced the pressed wood shoe holder and drawer set we had by the door. *shudder
I really like this piece but since I found the 1954 Lane cedar chest below curbside.....I decided to swap them out.

We also found a "new" table someone tossed at an apartment building. My daughter spotted it and stood guard until I could get there. It wasn't a special table....but since it is just my husband and I at home now it had a great feature that benefited us. It was smaller, perfect for 4, with a hidden leaf that expanded to 6, the size of our previous table.
Our other table had many years of use, still in good condition but not real desirable, I decided to hack it in pieces.
Ok, not so dramatic as that, we made two wall mount tables out of it that will go in my booth!
So I am keeping busy, busy, busy. I always have paint on my fingers, elbows, toes and hair. I dress like a total bum, forget to put make up on, and can not move in certain places in my house due to overcrowding of projects!!
Praying for a good sale! Lots more to show and tell so come back soon!!
ps...in case you missed it. One of my creations made Country Living's website!! See it HERE

You have been busy! I'm so glad to hear that someone else has been too. I can't seem to find the time to even do a blog post. You have transformed some beautiful pieces. Enjoy your day, Gail
We live parallel lives - lol! I am always sporting paint on some part of me! I think I have more painting clothes than regular clothes.
Your pieces look great - good luck at the sale!

Based on what you shared, you should do very well.
Chopping a table up is genius! LOL - I think that might be a good idea for behind my sofa... ? Thank you for sharing - they're all beautiful! Have a great weekend, Julia
I can't believe you found a chest on the side of the road! Why does that never happen to me?! =) All your stuff is so pretty and I think the cut up table is very smart. Found you via miss mustard seed
Good luck at the sale - your pieces are beautiful!
Amazing redo's! A girl after my own heart.
Kindred spirits. I have more "work" clothes than regular clothes. Seems I'm always covered in dirt, paint, glitter or glue.
Great job!
Thanks for sharing.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Shannon, you have so many amazing things. I can't help but think that your sale will be awesome! Love the hack job on the tables and the white chest is fabulous! I just recently got a bike tire from my sis and sprayed it red. Will be so fun to use now and then! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
