Femme Caves!

Sweet Bliss · 02-17-2014, 07:36 PM

This Sunday's found treasure is a dresser from the 30's, with lovely graceful lines and even a frame thingy to hold a mirror. Sorry, can't remember what the proper name for the frame thingy. Surfice it to say, I'm all excited about my new find. It's covered in tacky badly applied crackly paint, and I do mean badly applied. Under the white paint is a flat nasty shade of what looks like should have been teal but isn't.

So anyhoo, it's made of cherry wood..... ya how fabulous is THAT????!!!

So tomorrow I will commence to stripping and sanding down the crap on the surface. This afternoon I finally got brave and cut a hole in the solid wood door the roomie was tossing... bad roomie, solid wood, wth??

It has three square panels down the middle, so I cut out the one panel on one end, that's for the sink. Did not do my usual anal retentive detail work so it DOES NOT look the way I wanted it to look. BUT, being the creative genius I am, it will not deter me from having a Bohemian Kitchen. So there. The other panel on the opposite end will house the 2 burner stove top. Am so excited to finally see my Grace shaping up into a REAL FEMME CAVE on wheels. So any hoo, I've been busy scheming on how to get other things done. I started out with a beach theme but now its looking on the wild side,... Granny on LSD.

Saw some great Mermaid paintings at the Harbor Walk Art and Craft show. AND a Fabulous Mermaid painted on the side of a huge craft of some sort in the Harbor. She was beautiful!!

So now I'm inspired to do something fabulous on Grace's huge 38 ft length. Got my Elmer's Glue so I can papermache my Barbie collection into mermaids to hang in the windows and on the mirrors. Having more fun than people. Wish I had some Femme friends to hang with and make goodies. *big sigh

Well, any hoo, have jabbered enough about my lastest adventure, what's yours??

Would love to hear about it all....

toodles!
