Growing up, my mom was sure to deck my room fit for a princess. We didn’t have a ton of money, so I know what a sacrifice it was for her to purchase the whole brand new Bassett bedroom furniture set with a full-size canopy bed, a dresser with vanity, a chest, a night stand and a desk and extension with bookcase hutches.
Naturally, it would have broken her heart if I a.) gave it away, b.) sold it, c.) put it in storage or d.) anything just to get rid of it because my darling MASCULINE husband would never use the princess bedroom set with me, and NEVER sleep in my frilly canopy bed.
So, while the bed IS in the attic, the night stand, dresser and chest are still being put to use. I tried to make the desk and hutch work in the living room as a real adult office desk, but that did NOT work. Let’s just say: Clutter. Distractions. Clutter. Crap.
So me says to meself, how does one recycle GREAT quality furniture without just getting rid of it thus insulting mommy dearest? That’s right my friends, I tried to think of the piece of furniture I was lacking and how I could make this function as such. I just happened to be missing a buffet and china cabinet. I had nowhere ideal for my wine glasses, vases and crystal.
Check it out. A snow white former desk glistening doorlessly with glasses all showing off their twinkly prettiness. Just heavenly.
This is the introduction to my project – I plan on replacing the handles with uber unique drawer pulls and knobs. For this, I’m looking to Te-Ma. You can count on me picking one of each – they’re all way too gorgeous to choose only one!
I’ll explore Te-Ma with its own post after I place the order for some knobs and see how they look on the ol’ girl.
