Did you ever run across something that just calls your name and it's usually when you least expect it? What kind of question was that!!! Of course you do. I almost forgot that we all share the same obsessions for finding good stuff!!
My sister and I went to the local flea market this weekend and we just kept finding wonderful things. It was one of those rare days when you can't help but feel as though the junking gods have smiled upon you. And the best part is that those finds weren't asking for much.
These chippy, peely old cabinet doors backed with rusty chickenwire said take me home.....
All they asked for was a burlap bow...
They are now safe and happy in my booth waiting for a new home.
But wait there's more! As I was turning the corner thinking it couldn't get any better I came upon this. All it asked for was some Heirloom White paint and to be called a "bed crown!" Holly royal highness...I'll call you anything you want if you'll be mine....
Look closely and you can see a little bit of my new granite tops. I'll show you more of my revamped kitchen soon.
I didn't get to enjoy the little bed crown for long. It sold the next day.
See you sweeties later!

Sometimes all they ask is that you pick them up and give them a chance. You have done well to listen and do just that!

Sissie, how nice of you to give those beautiful pieces a new out look on life! Love the chicken wire doors and the burlap ribbon was just the perfect touch!
That bed crown is such a good idea--I love it, and I have it! I have it hanging high in my craft area with some pretties on it. Got it for 2.99 at Goodwill.
How are your kitties doing with the move?
Love those doors and the bed crown is gorgeous! Happy junkin my friend.
hugs, Linda
Nice finds! Looking forward to seeing your new kitchen!
Love those kind of days!!! Did you think oh crap, I should have charged more for the bed crown? That is what I always think when something sell to quickly! What a simple idea for old windows!

I love the doors with the chicken wire, the burlap bow just finishes it off!
What great finds. Love the doors.

What great finds Sissie! I love the cabinet doors with the chicken wire!! You and your sister have a wonderful space. Enjoy your day, Gail
Great finds, Sissie! It's always wonderful when you can find something that doesn't need a total overhaul. Or in the case of those chicken wire doors, none. Love that shelf/bed crown piece. I'm not surprised it went fast! Can't wait to see your kitchen. At some point we are going to have to redo our counter and I had always wanted to go with granite. We had corian in our old house.
It would be so hard to part with these once they are found! That would be my problem!!! They are great!
I have been out of town for a few days so I must have missed your new booth news. I love the chicken wire doors...very cute and the burlap bow is a nice touch!~Hugs, Patti
I wish I lived close I would snap up those cabinet doors so fast!! Love the bed crown too! Traci
Wow, Sissie! I am amazed that you've been able to start a both in the midst of your move and getting settled! Congrats! Love the chicken wire. And the shelf/bed crown is gorgeous! I'm always on the hunt for those too, they seem to go fast whenever I put them in my shop:) Can't wait to see more of your lovely kitchen!!
I am loving the shelf!!!! These finds are fabulous! :D
