New Project!

I have recently become obsessed with the shabby chic/french provincial/french country style (they all seem to yield similar results). I decided I wanted to find a piece of furniture I saw a lot of potential in, and create this style myself. I have watched craigslist often to find this special piece, and I finally found it this weekend. I was so excited when I found it because it is unique, beautiful, and cheap. The woman I purchased it from thought it didn't have any value, but it is around 60 years old, solid wood, and dove-tailed. It was a dream come true! Wes and I contacted her and drove to a small town called Krum, TX, and picked up our treasure. She only wanted $50. Here is my new project...



Isn't it beautiful? I am planning on finishing it out to look similar to this:

I am not promising any timeline, but I will post pics as soon as it is done.
