That “DUH” moment

My mother had this cute little hand made desk.  I had always loved it.  But I had absolutely no place for it. 

It sat and sat.  For over a year.  Because I just couldn’t bear the thought of selling it.

All twiggy and so eclectic.  The front has a hidden drawer.

I finally decided it was time to sell it.

I brought it home to refinish the top and get it ready.

It’s sooo cute and unusual.  Huummm……I wonder……

Who says it has to be used as a desk.

A strand of favorite tarnished stars.

Some sweet Christmas decor in a favorite apothecary jar.

Favorite sweet doggies and a little mercury glass.

A basket full of vintage goodness.

Sitting on top of two battered vintage suitcases.

Huummm……..looking pretty cute.

 

Well DUH……it took me a YEAR to figure this out!? 

I think I love it.  I KNOW I’ll keep it.

They love it.  They told me so.  You believe me, don’t you?

Of course you do!

Have a wonderful week.

  7. Glad you were able to keep your Mom's table, very unique. The angel with the crown necklace, staff, and on her head is amazing, where did she come from?

  11. I love your little desk. It's perfect for a side table. I can't see the drawer at all, it's well hidden. Aren't you glad you held on to it? Have a wonderful week :-)

  13. Yes, absolutely! they told you so. :0) Sometimes we have to take a year or more to figure these design elements out....hee hee

    It's really cute...all twiggy sitting between those ADORABLE chairs!

    I've given up on ever catching up. I'm doing good to blog once a week these days. I'm really trying to do more...seriously! :0)

    I'm so glad you came over to visit with me. I think of you often. ♥

    It's brrrrrrr cold here right now....two days of blowing snow...no accumulation but now my highs are like 31 and lows in the teens...we did get the wood stove installed. A great help the the central heat with this high ceiling in the great room.

    Have a wonderful day,
    Stephanie ♥

  15. Like Charlene said, of course I believe 'they' love it. I believe 'they' come out at night when we are asleep. Don't you?
    I'm happy you kept your Mother's desk!
