Set of 3 Swivel Bar Stools...SOLD

I have a set of 3 beautiful bar stools that our family is no longer in need of. We purchased them approximately 4 years ago for $85 ea. and they are still in PERFECT working condition. They are 24" tall which is the average counter height bar stool size and they swivel giving them added comfort and ease of use. They are black in color with walnut stain on the seat and came with a distressed look.

These stools are in beautiful working order with no flaws. They are solid wood and sturdy {no wobbling}.

Let me know if you are interested ~Kell

Full Size Bedroom Set...SOLD

I must say that I am in love with this set. When I found it, it was that lovely {not so much} shade of brown that was {oh so} popular in the 60's and 70's. It needed to be updated in a bad way and I love how the crisp white shade gives it the makeover it needed. This wood set is solid and will surly last you a lifetime.

Included in this 4 piece set {technically 5 if you include the bed rails} are:
~a FULL size headboard and rails
~a 2 drawer nightstand
~a 9 drawer dresser and
~a mirror

It has been sanded and painted in a beautiful shade of white for a nice clean look that would go with ANY decor! I then sanded it again for a nice smooth finish and added a coat of wax for protection. Each dove tailed drawer features a black and white patterned drawer liner giving it that finished look.

Measurements are:
Headboard - 52 in. tall x 60.25 in. wide
Nightstand - 24.5 tall x 25 in. wide x 14.75 in. deep {featuring 2 drawers that are 16 in. wide x 10.5 in. deep and go down 5.5 in., all dove tailed}
Dresser - 32 in. tall x 69.5 in. wide x 18 in. deep {featuring 6 drawers that are 20.75 wide x 13.5 deep and go down 5.5 in. and 3 drawers that are 14.75 in. wide x 13.5 in deep and go down 5.5 in., all dove tailed}
Mirror - 53 in. tall x 30 in. wide

Happy sleeping ~Kell

Husband 1...Wife 0

Well peeps, it appears that I can be bought! Hehehe!!

You know that gorgeous turquoise dresser that I wrote about not too long ago...you know, the one I said I would never part ways with? Well, I parted ways with it. Bitter sweet, I must say. I LOVED that dresser! That's the bitter part. But I know that the home it found will love it just as much {if not more} than me...and that, my friends, is the sweet part.

Now, I get to go on the search for the perfect piece to replace it. {Hope my hubby isn't reading this :)}

Have a good one ~Kell


Beautiful Armoire...SOLD

This armoire you truly have to see to believe...it is so gorgeous and would be the perfect addition to any home because it serves so many purposes! It could be used:

~in your living room or family room for your TV
~in your bedroom or nursery for clothes
~in your toy room to hide all your kiddos belongings
~in a bathroom for storing towels, toiletries and laundry
~in a dining room for your dishes
~in your office to store and file your papers
~in an entry way as a statement piece
The possibilities are endless!!

It is a rustic armoire that measures 76.5 in tall x 50.5 in. long x 23.5 in. deep. Inside you will find 4 shelves {2 fixed and 2 adjustable} that measure 17.5 deep x 43 in. wide. The bottom features a drawer that is 37.5 x 17.5 and is 7.5 in. deep.

When I purchased it, it had a gaping hole in the back so I installed bead board and molding to give it a finished look. I then painted the entire piece in Valspar's "La Fonda Mirage" which is breathtaking! The pictures do not do this color justice...you'll want to see it in person! To finish it off, I added a black and white drawer liner. It is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for peeking ~Kell

Antique Desk...SOLD

I found this beautiful desk and it was begging to be refinished. Note the gaping hole cut out of its top that needed to be filled and fixed. OUCH! It needed quite a bit of work but I am always up for that challenge!

This desk is at least 70 years old, but I happen to think it might be older than that. It has 2 tags marking it. One that states "The J.F. Dietz Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, No. 33 1/2" while the other says "Los Angeles Desk Company" and gives an address. The original owner stated that it was shipped from Cincinnati. It is SOLID WOOD and amazingly sturdy which means that it is a quality piece that will last a life time.

This desk stands 30.5 in tall x 32 in. deep x 50 in. long. And as if that large surface wasn't enough, this desk features 2 pullouts that measure 16.5 in. deep x 10.5 wide giving you more room to spread out. It also features 6 dove tailed drawers; 4 of which measure 24 in. deep x 9.5 in. wide that sink 4 in., 1 that is 23.25 in. deep x 19 in. wide and sinks 2 in., and 1 that is 24.25 in. deep x 9.5 in. wide and sinks an astounding 10 in. It also comes with a custom cut glass top to protect your working surface making this a fabulous investment!

This desk has been sanded, primed, painted in a light cream color {I also added a beautiful border in a light gray color to add to its character}, distresses and sanded again for a nice smooth finish, and covered in a wax paste to add protection. I then lined the drawers with a scented liner that is gray and white striped to give it a completed look.

Hope you're enjoying your afternoon ~Kell
