.Ch..Ch..Ch..Changes on the Sunny Side Board of the street!

Well, the BAD News is that the 

Greenwood Country Store... 

The goldmine...from which I have furnished 75%  

of my Old Country House...

has been sold and is closing.

 The Good News is that it has been purchased by a woman who has been a vendor there and who has BIG plans for making  it a bigger and better version of what it has been...which is an awesome used furniture/consignors/decorators kind of place. The possibilities are endless and 

I cannot wait to see what she does!

The store is down the street from my house, and so I pass by almost daily.

Last Friday night, I popped in to see Suzanne, the current mistress of the store

and the "pop in" turned into an hour and  two glasses of wine.

 I love my little town! One thing led to another 

AND...I bought a piece of furniture.

See, Suzanne was painting a piece of furniture, a cool old sideboard, and I could 

not pass it up...I have needed a sideboard...because Post Christmas, I had taken our Dining room sideboard into the living room 

for the NEW TV and so we have been 

sideboard-LESS. 

here is the BEFORE...

I liked the carving on the top drawer...and decided to leave it unfinished with just a few coats of varnish.

Inspired by this photo...

Look familiar!!!Mine is a touch more "rustic",
but the ingredients are there...

I painted it Benjamin Moore "Shore House Green" and sprayed the hardware with a silvery gold metallic spray.

Then I sanded and distressed it...and loaded her up with all my Dining room linens and my fabrics...and I am good to go!!

this is PRE-distressing....

NEW from "DraggyART" by Lesli DeVito Paintings
and will soon be available on ETSY!!!

This one drawer was too pretty to paint.
The bottom drawer is having a tough time,
but I made it look as good as I could...

 I did some rearranging and brought in the Stray Dog designs Lamp...

and it looks right at home!!!

Post Distressing and restyled...

Amazing what a little paint can do...

Do you have a favorite paint color for furniture?
Do you have a piece you are itching to change?
