Sometimes you find something that isn’t necessarily
an exact perfect fit for your usual style
but that speaks your lingo in a big loud you have to have it kind of way.
Something wearing old crackled paint in white and red
with curvy little details and loads of charm
Well honestly, it was also wearing quite a bit of dirt, leaves and grunge
but who was really paying attention to that? Not me.
I spotted it while shopping the Re-Store
and it was upside down when I first looked at it and shared it on instagram
So it wasn’t the easiest to look at
but I could see that chippy paint and it was calling to me
It was definitely grungy, weathered and worn, it had a little broken spot on one shelf and a plain piece of plywood on the back that I believe was added a little bit later.
It was found outside sitting in the dirt at a house that the ReStore was cleaning up
and clearing out. They grabbed this piece at the last minute and threw it into the truck.

It was perfectly weathered and worn and even better- it was half price day at the ReStore
Well… even at full price I would have been bringing this one home with me.
After a good spray down with the hose

I carted that treasure into the little cottage to see if it would work in the dining area.
I’m liking it. Filled with ironstone and whites- it’s perfect.
though I am lacking in a few pieces for this display
which means more junking 🙂
I have plans for the backboard so will share an updated photo soon
