Goodwill Gaudy to Gorgeous

This is my gorgeous Goodwill find for $5.  I left the little feet in there so you could compare the size.  It's a rather large, ugly ole' thing!  My mom kinda wrinkled up her nose with a look that said "oooookay, Kammy....  whatever!"
I've been looking for the perfect something or other to put on that there wall over there since my master bedroom redo and nothing just seemed right.  Until I found this!  Yes!!!!
I used the same paint I had concocted for my aqua antique dresser on the other side of the room.  Totally needed something over there to tie the colors are together. 

 Pin It
Someday.  The full reveal will make it onto this blog!  Bits and pieces here and there just aren't cuttin' it for some of you I know, but it's all I got for ya!  Deal with it. :)
