Dresser is done!

Wooohooo!

 John finished the dresser and it looks amazing!

After much muttering and cussing, hammering...more cussing, and cutting we have determined that the dresser is called SOB! Haha. 

Sorry, I don't have pictures of the insides but if you go here https://plus.google.com/+avintagevenue/posts

You can see more pics.

Looks beautiful doesn't it??

After the much needed work we put in we should be pricing the

SOB for $500.00! But as some of you know it doesn't work

out that way!!!!

A new dresser came in last night! 

Beautiful 1930's Art Deco dresser in great condition.

$225.00....321.271.1053

A short post...I am in the early stages of a cold and

my body is aching!

Dresser, part 3

Part III

The dresser has been painted!

I used Vintage Market & Design Furniture Paint,

Waxed with Clear wax and sealed with Clear Cote.

John started working on the insides today, we are

hoping to be done before Friday.

One of our dealers did an amazing job on this dresser, he actually carved grooves all over the dresser to give it that pallet look!

Random photo of VV....

I am not sure if the video is going to play but it is a video of a pair of Vintage shabby chic cupboards.

Stay tuned for the finished dresser project.

Cleaning the dresser...Part ll

 Cleaning

I personally like to use Denatured alcohol to clean the inside and outside on any piece of furniture that I purchase.

Why?

It's alcohol.... It cleans up any ooogies and grime that has

accumulated on the dresser....do wear gloves, especially if your

nails are manicured!!

Repair

I like to use wood filler where needed.

 Glue any pieces of wood that needs repaired with Tightbond glue, my all time favorite wood glue!

I wait a couple of days for the wood filler to dry

before sanding.

The next step is cutting some wood for the drawer guides

and that is where my handy dandy hubby comes in.

These are the steps and products that I use for MY furniture. I am not claiming to be an expert, everyone has their own style, this one is mine.

Just Say No!

Why can't I pass up on a beautiful piece of vintage furniture?

Especially one that need severe TLC???

Friends of mine owned this beauty and when they realized the repairs that needed to be done, they sold it to me!!

Yea, I hear what you're thinking....

 Because I thought the same thing!!

Just Say No to more projects!!!

Say NO especially if they involve hubby doing some of the repairs!!!

BUT how could I pass up on this beauty? 

Shhhh, please don't tell anyone but I am a sucker for Art Deco!

 I fall for those flirty lines and curvy  sides every time...

I was going to take a picture of the whole intact dresser but

As I pulled out the drawers some of the drawer guides were

coming apart and now I can't put the drawers back in.😕

The cleaning process begins today....stay tuned!

Life is Good,

Collecting...

Collecting...

We have several collections going on in our house...

I say we because my husband John recently started

collecting vintage guitars. 

Here are a few collections that my heart go pitter patter...

Vintage Chintz dishes...

I have these hanging in my bedroom wall.

Beings that I am the only female in our home,

anything girly like these sweet little ballerinas...

OK these dishes are not so girly but they are blue!

Yes, love them blue and white dishes especially 

these ones!!

Also hanging on my wall but in the living room.

Love, love, love vintage garden decor...

This is what my garden looked like BEFORE

Vintage Venue....trust me

you do not want to see the garden now...haha

Another great find was this plastic (Lucite?) mosaic table top...

what a sweet find!!

This beauty sits on top of my side table in the living room...

I could go on and on with my collections...but I would

love to hear what you collect!

Life is Good...
