When my mother-in-law went to Ohio to clean out her dad's house, she brought me back a van full of goodies.
This set of furniture was in her room when she was a little girl! How fun!
The little drum seat was super interesting. I assumed I would take the faded fabric off and replace it with something trendy. But when I saw what was under it....
plans changed!
Ty The Guy set to work removing staples.
It was a big job and so he enlisted little sis to help.
After lots of slivers and sanding and polyurathane, we hung horseshoes on jute twine and had a beautiful new trash barrel for the office. Who woulda thunk it - once covered in pink flowers for a little girl to sit on and comb her locks!

ReplyDeleteVery cool! How neat to find an awesome barrel underneath!
ReplyDeleteLooks so much better as a barrel!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that is what was hiding under all of those ruffles! Love how it turned out. Stopping by from Party Junk and pinned ~ Amy
