Introductions

Meet "Cleridae". Her name comes from a species name of the chequered beetle family and goes right along with the amazing wood and brass beetle knobs that complete her design plan. I have been waiting for the perfect piece to put these amazing knobs on, and this navy desk won! Woo Hoo!
 I am loving the color navy lately, and this is the first of many pieces in this beautiful color.  I love, love, love this piece....it is rich, classy and timeless.....seriously, I will have a hard time letting go of her.
"Cleridae" is in the etsy shop, and available for purchase! I don't think she will be around long, {I may decide to keep her!} so if you want her....get her!

Found Goodness

The two pieces of furniture that I have been working on this week....making repairs, stripping, sanding.....the works.....have been two of the craziest pieces full of found goodness I have seen in a while! I have never seen so many scissors, rubber bands, nail files, rollers, pencils, costume jewelry, perfume.....etc! 
This photo is what I saw when I opened the top drawer of the desk....and when I dumped it out it was amazing what I found. Then I opened up the bottom drawer and discovered that the previous owner had an obsession with scissors and the such.
I am working on getting a photograph of all the  goodness I found....I want to lay it all out in groupings....you all will laugh your fannies off.
Job love.
