Instead of the usual wainscoting for the back, I recovered the existing backing with a mustard yellow damask print. It's darling, and I can't wait to get it all put together. Fingers crossed that he can work on it soon so I can post it.

Hutch Update
Remember that hutch I keep promising to post? It's still not done. I finally finished up all my finishing touches on it, and now I need Mr. Five to Nine's help. Between vacations and overtime, he has been swamped and hasn't had time to work on it at all. I'm hoping he will have time this weekend. In the meantime, here's an update of what it looks like:

Next Up...
I have been looking for one of these for a very long time. I've seen before and after pictures floating around blog land for the last year, and I've been itching to try one myself.
As usual, I have nowhere for it in my house. Sigh. I kept trying to figure out if I could try to repurpose it as a bookcase or a dresser or even a bathroom cabinet, but our modest-sized little house is already packed with furniture I'm in love with. So, I guess I'll have to store it in the garage for ten years until I have a bigger house. Just kidding. Mr. Five to Nine would never, ever go for it. Instead, I'm going to paint it and sell it. I'm open to suggestions on colors. In fact, if you're interested in buying this piece and would prefer it a specific color, leave a comment in the section below. We will go with whatever the general consensus says on this one. No backing out and just painting it black this time, I promise. Weigh in, folks, and let me know what you think. I plan on painting it sometime next week, so you have a few days.

Reduced Prices
Whew! It's been one interesting summer so far, folks! Sorry for the lack of posts for the past couple weeks. I'm ready to get back into the swing of things, though. And, to start it off right, let's lower some prices, shall we?
Night Stand: $50
Black Scrolly Bench: $95
Shabby Chic Shutters with Frames and Crystal Knobs: $50 per set; 3 sets available
(These are really large. They would look great around a TV.)
Magnetic Board: $70
Now, on to other business. I've had several calls, emails, and texts about the black distressed TV stand. I am soooo sorry that I haven't posted decent pictures with a write up. It will be done soon, I promise. As in tomorrow or Thursday. And as for the hutch, I think Mr. Five to Nine can FINALLY help me finish it up tomorrow. Again, I'm not promising anything because if my little cherubs were as wonderful as they were today I will get NOTHING done. (In fact, I will digress. Two steps forward and five steps back...) But, I still have high hopes. Be sure to check back for lots of updates this week. I promise to get my rear in gear.
