My New Gal

This new gal is Chloe. Yes, she told me so. I saw her yesterday at a thrift store and, as soon as I got home, had severe non-buyer's remorse. So I called the store and begged asked them nicely to hold her for me until I could come back today. I've been so in love with all the waterfall desks I've seen on different blogs that I was just tickled pink (or turquoise) when I saw this waterfall chest of drawers. I just wasn't sure I *needed* to bring home anymore furniture right now.

But she is here with me now. She has told me her story and I think we have a plan for sprucing her up. I know it sounds silly, but I see a personality in each piece of furniture I buy. I think of all the hands and lives that have been involved with that piece. Chloe is an old soul. She has been around a while, but still has plenty of spunk. She is a bit of a homebody like me. She likes lace doilies and is a bit of a romantic. She still has a bit of an edge to her though. I hope the plan I have for her truly showcases the amazing gal she really is.

I always want to take something found at a flea market and make it into a one of a kind treasure. I just never actually do it! I can't wait to see what you turn her in to!
