I'm MAD!

My friend Ellen is headed down to My Chic Shore Shack....for a little R&R...and I am soooo jealous! She is taking down some of our stuff that we have collected up to cute'n up the place this fall....


I bet you $100 bucks I will get a call from that girl when she has her toes in the sand sipp'n a cold one....& I'll feel like crying! :-(


Here's to wish'n I was there~!
Crabby in Kentucky!

Whats Old is New Again...

Ok....we purchased one of our first vintage pieces that we are going to re-purpose.


I was thrilled to find it...it is small but I think just the right size to fit in our current 1/2 bath which we are going to turn into a full bath. We found this on one of our latest buying/selling trips to the 50th Anniversary of Brimfield MA Antique Shows...

We are going to add a vessel type sink and a farm house style faucet....so stay tuned for the transformation to come...

It had some super paint & patina on it, green underneath and blue on top with a little bit of white. The open shelf will be great for a basket or just some rolled up towels.
The little drawer with the large vintage glass knob will work good for those bathroom smalls....
