MAD MEN STYLE !!!!

I FINALLY SNAGGED MYSELF ONE OF THESE GORGEOUS MID-CENTURY MODERN PIECES THAT I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO REDO FOREVER!! 

I FOUND IT ON CRAIGSLIST

FROM A MAN WHO ACTUALLY

BUYS UP ESTATE SALE

LEFT-OVERS IN BULK. HE SAID HE

DIDN'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BUY IT

SO HE WAS GIVING IT AWAY 

FOR FREE.

HERE SHE IS WHEN I PICKED

HER UP! BEFORE....

SCRATCHED AND NEGLECTED BUT I NEVER
WOULD HAVE PUT BABY IN THE CORNER LET ALONE GIVE HER AWAY!!

SHE ALSO CAME WITH THIS HUTCH
THAT I WILL BE RE-DOING
AS A SEPARATE PIECE, ADDING LEGS
TO IT AND MAKING IT INTO A BOOKCASE!

SO HERE WE GO. I WANTED TO SAND
IT ALL DOWN AS THE SCRATCHES ON
THE TOP WERE REALLY DEEP.

AND HERE IS THE AFTER
IN ALL HER GLORY...

 I KEPT THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE
AND I SANDED IT DOWN TO 
THE SILVER THAT WAS BELOW THE
PAINT AND THEN BUFFED IT SMOOTH!

NO WONDER MAD MEN WAS SO
POPULAR, IT WAS THE FURNITURE!

LOVE HER AND I AM KEEPING
HER FOR MYSELF!!!
HOPE YOU
LIKE HER AS MUCH AS I DO!
