Do you remember this awesome 1950s sideboard I found during a recent spin through the Salvation Army with my friend Austin?
Last weekend, I spent all day Sunday up at her place in Sugar Hill, propping, stacking and organizing all her vintage silver, linens and serving ware. For the full story, including lots of great "after" shots of how this Salvation Army find went from garbage to gorgeous, come back tomorrow! It will definitely be worth the wait, I promise!
Enjoyed your blog! Will be adding you to my blogroll!Fabulous ideas. Hey check out the link from my website of beach cottage, I think you will enjoy her site. She is quite a decorator too and finds evcerything through thrift, trash and auction. I really think your blog is great!

I am excited to see how the sideboard turned out. :-) I am inspired by your cottage-ification of older pieces, like painting an old secretary white and lining the inside with old wallpaper or something. I have 2 old pieces I am dying to cottage-ify. Hopefully your sideboard project will give me the final kick in the butt to do it. :-)

I love all your finds at thrift stores and flea markets. I'm always curious to know how much your paying for these fabulous finds. Maybe we could get a before price and an after value? Please share...a bargain always makes it so much more fun, don't you think?

Exactly, what a tease! You ARE worth it though!

The anticipation is killing me. Getting an email that "Eddie has a new post" is as good as my first cup of coffee...

My neighbor, a sweet older gentlemen has the smaller version of this. He is 74 and bought his new in 1958 and paid $95.00 new in Hudson's department store in Norfolk, VA! Gosh, what a small world. The 50's did produce some great things! Can't wait to see what you and Elizabeth did!

Looking forward to it and I hope you'll include a short "how to" prepare varnished wood furniture for painting.
Thanks for continuing to share your amazing creativity with us!

I love it with no work done to it and empty, so I'm sure it's going to be great!
