French Provincial Lingerie Chest Before & After

mountainhomestore — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:35:42 +0000

I ran across this lingerie chest last weekend. It needed painting badly. I went to work on it and loved it once I got done. I forgot to take a before picture but did manage to find one online. The drawers are a little different but it gives you an idea of the before color….yellow creamy with gold highlights.

Before

Here is the “after” picture with a fresh paint job! I painted it a white and distressed it slightly. It is in my booth at Apple Dumplin’ Antiques and is “For Sale”!

Trip to Gatlinburg, TN

We have just gotten back from our trip to Gatlinburg, TN. The weather was just beautiful! It was like spring time until last night and it dipped down to the 20′s. Here are a few pictures we took. They had a chili cook-off one night but it was raining but still fun!

Message To My Masters
———————–

The day you laid me down to sleep
you prayed to the Lord my soul to keep.
I know you had to send me on my way
but you sent me to a new, better, and much brighter day.

You sent me home to heaven above
where I’m cradled in God’s arms covered with His love.
I understand what you did you did out of love
and I’ll return that love from my new home above.

My sickness is gone and I’m free here to roam.
I run and play in the meadows here in my new home.
We play here by the Bridge from morning to night
there is no rain here just warm sunlight.

I know you all miss me and I miss you all too
but I’ll always be with you whatever you do.
Please wipe the tears from your weeping eyes
by remembering the good times from days gone by.

When you look out into the dark of night
I’ll be that bright star your guiding light
We’ll meet again at the Bridge one day
when we’ll walk in the light together to stay.

We had to take Max our Shih Tzu to the vet this morning to be put to sleep. It was and is so hard! He was 13 years old and had liver cancer. He is at rest now. We miss him so much!
