Vintage Make-Overs

This was another extremely busy weekend.  I did manage to get a ton of work done and I am thrilled with how all of the pieces turned out. 

 Here are few that I am most proud of!!!

First up is a dresser that was in bad need of some love...

And after a little white loveliness...

  

And I am happy to say that she is going to a wonderful new home.

I also, along with Mr. Rubbish (couldn't do it without him), was able to complete three new vintage framed chalkboards. Here are my two favorites!

I especially love the next one...in all of it's ornate-ness...(is this a word?)

I have been in love with ornate framed chalkboards since I saw one in a Cottage Living magazine article three years ago...man I miss that magazine :(.  

In my old house, which I have mentioned was realllllly formal, I had an old antique gold framed mirror...very similar to the one above, hanging over my dining room buffet.  In the new little rental, it would have looked ridiculous;  So instead of it sitting somewhere collecting dust, I just went for it and created the chalkboard of my dreams.  I have received so many compliments and requests that I decided there were probably other folks out there that may like them as well!  The chalkboard makes the fancy frame feel much more casual.  I just love them...

All of these items, with the exception of the dresser, are listed on my Etsy shop, Dignified Rubbish

How was your weekend?
