Do you know someone who lives on a farm, or maybe just enjoys decorating in this trendy farmhouse style, how about one of our cow heads. I mean really who doesn't want a cow head on their wall(I'll tell who doesn't, my husband, that's who) wait it's ok to get one for someone though, I'm pretty sure most husbands wouldn't even notice;).</div>

Our Christmas open house starts today, and runs through Sunday. We will have free gifts for the earliest shoppers. Homemade goodies(yep we'll all be baking this week) and back by popular demand our hot cocoa bar, and hot spiced cider. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyATLI7NhVW7wIfg6GQbWXUn1c5nSWeMI_-lNbvpfPXVNPKvKnH4EP3UckE_m6tkzCl1oQwp1THeCfTOEYazo7Ad8tNEfDQmGlyBcCa3yVnZm8rqdZ1-5bzFG_JRhZkvqwZpFKmkGxdw/s1600/050edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyATLI7NhVW7wIfg6GQbWXUn1c5nSWeMI_-lNbvpfPXVNPKvKnH4EP3UckE_m6tkzCl1oQwp1THeCfTOEYazo7Ad8tNEfDQmGlyBcCa3yVnZm8rqdZ1-5bzFG_JRhZkvqwZpFKmkGxdw/s640/050edit.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm actually popping in to tell ya about our involvement in the second annual Oregon City Snowflake Raffle. It's a super fun city-wide shopping event offered by the <a href="http://downtownoregoncity.org/downtown-association/">Downtown Oregon City Association</a> and <a href="http://buylocal.oregoncity.org/">Buy Local</a>. It also starts this weekend and goes till December 12. Here's how it works. You receive entries by making purchases at participating local businesses(we are one) and then submitting the tickets given to you at the time of purchase online, via text, or in person at the raffle drawing event. You'll receive an entry for every purchase totaling at least $5 for cash prizes up to $1500. You can read all the details <a href="http://downtownoregoncity.org/snowflake/">here</a>. The event kicks off with a double ticket day on November 14.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think supporting local, small businesses is super important. If you haven't shopped main street and downtown Oregon City lately, ya gotta get down there you'll be pleasantly surprised. There's some great new shops and restaurants. I ran down there recently to the furniture store I bought my new sofa from. (<a href="http://homelife-furniture.com/">Homelife Furniture</a>, I'm given them a plug, cause they're awesome). It was already dark, and they've started decorating for the season, it was so pretty and festive. </div>

Hello, just thought I would dust the cobwebs off of this little ol' blog to talk about our upcoming event, cause we're pretty excited about it. We will be hosting a casual tea perfect for spending a lovely afternoon with your mother, your daughter, your best friend, or whoever you'd like to gather and join us at the Cottage for this private shopping event. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Consider yourself cordially invited...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifq8F10Bw8fsKap9xyi7HuipK4DOiw-3KqOxcjDw_xA75MjZQDyQVYm0kbuWBmuOppvlY93TBHpUSxdMSKpPbf2y9LXJgEVFEI8LHU3fEt6AzeNjGr1i5jR0vw6qFUCsUyP7zHXkk3MG0/s1600/tea+Flyer5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifq8F10Bw8fsKap9xyi7HuipK4DOiw-3KqOxcjDw_xA75MjZQDyQVYm0kbuWBmuOppvlY93TBHpUSxdMSKpPbf2y9LXJgEVFEI8LHU3fEt6AzeNjGr1i5jR0vw6qFUCsUyP7zHXkk3MG0/s1600/tea+Flyer5.jpg" height="640" width="446"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As our super cute flyer(thanks to pic monkey) exclaims the event will be held Wednesday May 6th. We will be selling tickets up until April 28th (but tickets are going fast). We invited "<a href="http://www.lavenderbleuonline.com/Home_Page.php">Lavender Bleu Tea House</a> to cater. It will be an afternoon of Shopping, tea, and a fabulous lunch. I know this because between all of us cottage girls we have been to quite a few tea houses and <a href="http://www.lavenderbleuonline.com/Home_Page.php">Lavender Bleu</a> is definitely one of the best. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also wanted to make this a really special, fun, day and what's funner than a little shopping so we're calling it a shopping event and discounting everything for those that wish to attend. We will be giving each of our guest a Shabby Cottage gift certificate, a fun little gift bag, a chance at an even bigger gift certificate, and Lavender Bleu will also have something for you also. We are also discounting <i><u>all</u></i> purchases made on this day only. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll also be introducing some brand new products were bringing in, I'm especially excited about this part because I'm so in love with this new line of merchandise. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey all, so there's been about a million things I could have blogged about over the past months, but I just had to share our latest venture at the Cottage. We had a fun little contest over on our Facebook page to see if anyone could guess our new colors. There are three and we had some great guesses and some winners. Y'all are the first to be let in on the big secret. As you can see from the pic above our new colors are gold, a new "whiter" white, but also a rich teal shown in the picture below. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHuoMWjruobFSxIcVod-ndI7MhMYFpOxt8ui4i2fa69g13jnnoDFb69UCjVHlD9xLj8nkDJtl8_DNY5c-XF7Wmk4z9xeSzt0KF7kSGs1V3bgMYZ0ttskKQ7d6aL8-jZmDu3SGAykxCdM/s1600/2015-01-20+14.50.15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHuoMWjruobFSxIcVod-ndI7MhMYFpOxt8ui4i2fa69g13jnnoDFb69UCjVHlD9xLj8nkDJtl8_DNY5c-XF7Wmk4z9xeSzt0KF7kSGs1V3bgMYZ0ttskKQ7d6aL8-jZmDu3SGAykxCdM/s1600/2015-01-20+14.50.15.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>

We're calling it "Worn Teal". I painted this super cool piece, it's a cedar chest/dresser I guess, I'm not sure what to call it. I've never seen anything like it, it's all lined in cedar. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We cleared out the summer room and begin with a clean slate(I know clean slates are the best). We cleaned, repaired and painted to prepare. It's pretty different than what your used to seeing at the cottage. A little more modern and bright with straighter cleaner lines, and a lot less distressing.<br />

We've often had requests for a "whiter" white than our creamy cottage white( which we will definitely still be using, it's our best selling color) so we found one for y'all. As for the gold, I'm just so in love with this trend. If you happen to follow me on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/katiemcloud/">Pinterst</a> you can see I'm a little obsessed with it.<br />

So to break it down, I knew we had to have a white and gold sawhorse desk, so my mom and dad threw this one together(I'm pretty sure they think otherwise it was actually a little more complicated than that) but it's definitely well made. Not the "throw some sawhorses down and board on top" the way I would have done it. (I'm kidding...sort of). Didn't their's turn out awesome.<br />

My husband and I were able to go shop it though, and let me say it was awesome, definitely one of best kinds of these sales I have been to, so I am so super excited to be among some of the best local vendors around. The Faire is</span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> Saturday August 23rd </b></li>

Unfortunately I didn't get around to posting a piece of furniture this week, but I thought I would share a few of the Easter projects I worked on for the Cottage, and our display. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this burlap Easter banner, using the Cricut to make stencils for the letter and bunnies...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently found these little guys at a garage sale...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also found these bunnies at the same garage sale, but they were all colorful, I just primed and spray painted them white. They are allot more subtle now, easy to add just a touch of Easter to your home rather than going all out with pastels everywhere that don't match your decor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had these frames in my stash for awhile, I just cut out the bunny and chic silhouettes with the Cricut. </div>

I thought I would throw in a post here and there with Product highlights. Different items we have at the Cottage, and ideas on how to use or display them. <br />
<br />
The first product I would like to highlight is our new retro paper straws. Have you seen these? Its a really fun trend right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used them for the first time at my daughters Pink Lemonade Party this summer(I'm going to post about it sometime, cause it turned out super cute). <br />

I think they are going to become a party staple at our house. I love to plan a theme party. When I went to order them for my other daughters "Mickey, Minnie" party...<br />

I thought "we need these at the Cottage", so I found them in bulk and placed an order. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would offer a few more useful ideas for them other than just for drinks. They are a cheap cute way to add color to a themed kids(or not kids) birthday party, but you can also use them for Holidays, weddings or showers, they would also make a great favor to give away.</div>

I found this piece on Craigslist, and instantly fell in love the minute I saw it, while trying to keep my cool so I could bargain. I've never seen anything like it. It was in great shape, aside from the scratched surface. I really would have liked to have left something in the original wood, but it was just too rough. I don't know allot about the era of pieces of furniture. If I had to guess I would say around the 40's, but I really have no Idea. It sat for a little while, waiting for inspiration, but in the end Cottage White won out, because of all the details it already had. </div>

Most of our accessories and home decor items consist of found items, mostly one of a kind, because we usually add our own touches. Each of us are constantly treasure hunting. Garage and estate sales being our number one place to hunt, but it's not quite garage sale season around here and things can start look a little sparse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Furniture just doesn't seem do as well empty and sad, so we decided to place a few wholesale orders. My point being we have lots of fun new home decor accessories at the Cottage and I wanted to show them off a little. the picture above is just a sample.<br />
<br />
But before I get to the new stuff, I wanted to give a shout out to something that was found and embellished. Cause I think it's so awesome. Shannon just brought this new chair.<br />

As promised(cause I'm sure you've been waiting on the edge of your seats) here is the faux metallic desk I painted for my sons room. It's actually been awhile since I finished it, but I think I can remember the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I decided to do away with a <a href="http://theshabbycottagehome.blogspot.com/2013/06/rustic-little-boy-dresser.html">dresser in his room</a>, and just add organizers to his closet, he needed another piece of furniture in his room. A desk was the answer although I'm pretty sure he doesn't sit up to every night and work on homework, it's a good place to put all the cute things that you can only decorate a boys room with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you seen faux metallic letters, allot of them are made from those cardboard letters you can get at the craft stores, that's where I got the idea, and pretty much followed a tutorial for one of those. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the desk before...</div>

It was $20 and in my city. It was not an expensive desk in the first place, but the drawers worked good and it's sturdy. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I did was paint it black, well after sanding and priming. I purchased some Ralph Lauren metallic paint found <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Cscript%20charset=%22utf-8%22%20type=%22text/javascript%22%3E%20%20%20amzn_assoc_ad_type%20=%20%22product_link%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_tracking_id%20=%20%22theshacot-20%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_marketplace%20=%20%22amazon%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_region%20=%20%22US%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_placement%20=%20%22B000GLHWAO%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_asins%20=%20%22B000GLHWAO%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_show_border%20=%20true;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_link_opens_in_new_window%20=%20true;%20%3C/script%3E%20%3Cscript%20src=%22http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&Operation=GetScript&ID=OneJS&WS=1&l=as1&source=ac&ref=qf_sp_asin_til%22%3E%20%3C/script%3E">here</a> on Amazon (which really upped the budget, although I have quite a bit left). I purchased it at Miller Paint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dry brushed the metallic paint on but with lots of coverage(not much of the black showing through). I then used just craft paint in Raw Umber( ya know the ones at Michael's for $1). I did this allot more sparingly just here and there, also with a very dry, small brush.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would have liked to of changed the knobs but I didn't really have a budget for this project, especially after purchasing the metallic paint, so I just painted them in the same manner. <br />
<br />
Again before...<br />

<br />
I thought I would share a really fun project my husband and I worked on recently. I got the idea while flipping through the new Pottery Barn catalog(one of my favorite ways to spend time). I came across this <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/oversized-wall-mount-galvanized-metal-calender/">huge galvanized calendar</a>.<br />
<br />
I think my husband is starting to "get" me because when I said out of the blue "I need a giant piece of galvanized metal", without hesitation he says "Ok maybe BBC Steel or hold on I'll check online" no rolling of his eyes or "oh brother what's she up to now", just "let me figure that out for you". He's pretty awesome!<br />
<br />
We ended up purchasing the huge piece of galvanized metal at Home Depot for $16.99. The one in Pottery Barn is 6 foot square so ours isn't quite as huge at 3' x 4', but it fits the space I wanted to put it perfectly. Apparently they are used for Hvac or furnace stuff. Although it was a little difficult to find a perfect piece without any bending or dimples. We had to unload them from the shelf onto the floor until we found one that was near flawless. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yeah I think the Home Depot people probably thought we were a little weird. <br />
<br />
We also got some 1 x 2 pieces of pine to build a sort of frame on the back, some picture hangers, and wire. Altogether it was under $30. Just a little less then the Pottery Barn version(I'm under exaggerating, it's a lot less).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now I have to say I love Pottery Barn. I save catalogs(which by the way my husband definitely does not "get", it drives him crazy). It's one of my favorite places to go for inspiration when decorating a room or just redo anything in my home. I love flipping through the pages, and noticing all the details. I think they are awesome, I just can't afford them, so I try to get the Pottery Barn look on my budget.<br />
<br />
Now with that said here is how we did it, my husband pretty much being the brains of the operation. We made a frame for the back...(ya know cause I'm like "Maybe stick it up there with some double sided tape or something")<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJpsnEVP9ds0Nj4zyqhVxDtG4bzfyXBS1gTSZx79v1N78tWZd5WAx7U5nFJ-ZwEeR04xvHPVgGcVzWLIkvRXXFzwJXWVm5-XJdkzWhz7yMzmCbeHsQBvsii0mU_clMqXQekMj1bMO0ZyY/s1600/photo1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJpsnEVP9ds0Nj4zyqhVxDtG4bzfyXBS1gTSZx79v1N78tWZd5WAx7U5nFJ-ZwEeR04xvHPVgGcVzWLIkvRXXFzwJXWVm5-XJdkzWhz7yMzmCbeHsQBvsii0mU_clMqXQekMj1bMO0ZyY/s1600/photo1.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then spray painted it with some metallic paint I had(also his idea), and glued it to the piece of metal. <br />
<br />
Then I made the lines with a sharpie(I tested on the back that a sharpie would not erase and a dry-erase marker would). This took way longer than it would probably take the average person, because my brain does not do math quickly...<br />

<br />
I then made the days of the week and "notes" in black vinyl with the Cricut. <br />

<br />
Finally, and the funnest part cutting the numbers and shapes. I had these magnetic sheets(<a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Cscript%20charset=%22utf-8%22%20type=%22text/javascript%22%3E%20%20%20amzn_assoc_ad_type%20=%20%22product_link%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_tracking_id%20=%20%22theshacot-20%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_marketplace%20=%20%22amazon%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_region%20=%20%22US%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_placement%20=%20%22B00006HN5Q%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_asins%20=%20%22B00006HN5Q%22;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_show_border%20=%20true;%20%20%20amzn_assoc_link_opens_in_new_window%20=%20true;%20%3C/script%3E%20%3Cscript%20src=%22http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&Operation=GetScript&ID=OneJS&WS=1&l=as1&source=ac&ref=qf_sp_asin_til%22%3E%20%3C/script%3E">here</a> they are on Amazon). I can't even remember why I had them in the first place, but they are pretty cool. They are super thin and Cricut cuts right through 'em. I wanted the numbers all funky and different sizes just like the ones in Pottery Barn, so it took me awhile to plan it all out for the Cricut, to get the best use of space, and not waist any of the magnet sheet.<br />
<br />
Then I could let my imagination go. My daughter Mia is taking ballet, so I needed a ballet slipper. My other daughter is currently taking piano lessons so I needed a music note, (I know how fun is this). I definitely needed a birthday cake, and you could go crazy with holiday icons. I'm sure I'll add to as the months go. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure where my cute little airplane snuck off to, that's what happens with a four year old in the house I guess. <br />

We put the picture hangers and wire on the back.

I'm hanging it in a hallway near the kitchen. It would have been difficult to get pictures of it there, so I took it up to my sons room to get the pics. I thought it would look good on his faux metallic desk I painted (I never wrote a post on that, so I'll show that too). <br />

I got the cute little magnetic talk bubbles, and cup to hold dry erase markers(it came with the little square magnetic eraser) at The Container Store.

Are you ready for the total savings, including the metal and backing material, the magnetic sheets, talk bubbles, markers, and cup to hold them.(some of which I already had, but I will add em all in) for a total of approximately $65. A whopping savings of $435 off the Pottery Barn price. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This is just one of the funnest projects I've ever done. We've had to change the months twice now, and my daughter loves to do that. You can write appointments and such on the metal as well as the little talk bubble, and make notes with dry erase markers. <br />
<br />
(By the way I think I'll show the desk off a little more in another post. Wait till you see the before).<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for taking your precious time to stop by.<br />

I bought this little buffet from my mom and dad, I'm not sure where they found it. It had a pretty bad paint job on it, but great bones. It probably would have been easier to paint the majority of it black but that's just not what it was saying to me, so I painted it with our Antique White, and the top black, and added knobs and cup handles. My dad built the curvy back splash and added trim and an applique. They do this to allot of their pieces, I wish I had a better picture of it, but it sold pretty quickly. I just wanted to share it.<br />

I don't have to tell you how much I love chalkboards, I have two around my house and have to stop myself from having more. My favorite place to have one is my front porch, because I can change it with the seasons or special occasions. I can wish happy birthdays the week of my kids' birthdays, or like here at Father's day, and the fourth of July.</div>

I picked up this buffet from Craigslist. I recently picked up another one with a mirror back splash, but until these I've never done one with this feature, I really like them. </div>

Fairly basic straight lines, so I decided I would antique it after painting to add a little depth, and interest.</div>

I then used Minwax stain in Provincial to antique it. There's a million tutorial and how to's on how to do this, so I won't go into great detail. I basically brush the stain on with a foam brush in sections and then wipe off with a rag, being sure to go back and keep wiping as it keeps seeping out of the cracks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By the way with mirrors I don't mask, I just prime, paint, and antique, and then go back spray with Windex or my all purpose cleaner, vinegar and water, and then scrape all the paint off with a razor blade. I just think it's much easier.</div>

I wanted to share a fun new product we got in at The Cottage. I know don't need to say that chalkboard anything is huge right now, so I found these reusable chalkboard pennant banners on etsy the owner gave me a great bulk rate so I can resale them, but if you aren't local here is the link to the etsy site <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/168438341/chalkboard-banner-4-pc-expansion-pack?ref=pr_shop">Windy City Photo Props</a>. They are awesome, and I love that they are hand made and painted in the US. <br />

I also love that you can just erase and use them over and over. I make a new banner for each of my kids' birthdays on the Cricut(honestly I'll probably still do that, I can get a little matchy) but in a pinch I could just personalize these banners with their name and age. <br />
<br />
This is my daughter holding one, (probably should have staged that a little better, just keepin it real)<br />

There are so many opportunities to use these banners, holidays, events like wedding showers, and new babies, well wishes like "welcome home", going away parties, "good luck", "congrats" or just "I love you" also the actual original use as a photo prop, Christmas cards, baby announcements, and monthly milestones, first days of school, I feel like I already went on too long. <br />
<br />
Oh wait how bout "snow days"...<br />

If you need more inspiration check out my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/katiemcloud/chalkboard-banners/">Pinterest</a> board. The point being the uses for chalkboard banners are endless. <br />
<br />
Stop by and pick one up if your in the area, we would love to see you!<br />

There's no big bad wolf in this story but my "little Red Redo" did end up at Grandmas Cottage in the Woods, well not so much in the woods I guess either, anyway on with my...story?</div>

In honor of Valentines day this week I wanted to share a red hutch I recently finished. This hutch sold almost as quickly as I brought it to the cottage. I still wanted to post about it and thought Valentines week was the perfect time to show it off.</div>

Most of the rest of the country is probably pretty tired of seeing a foot of snow but we don't get this kind of snow but every few years around here. In fact we had to close the Cottage this weekend because of it. </div>

I hadn't planned on doing this post but the Cottage just looks so great in snow, that I wanted to show her off a little. </div>

Whew, yep I'm still alive here at The Shabby Cottage Blog. I could go on and on with all the excuses for the huge break, but who wants to listen to that, so I'll just get on with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would come back with a look around the cottage. It's been so long that it looks allot different with lots of new pieces, and of course the Christmas is gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just because I haven't been blogging doesn't mean we haven't been busy painting, refinishing, embellishing, decorating...you get the idea...I'll get on with the pics...<br />

We will also have goodies and a hot cocoa bar that I wanted to talk about because it turned out super cute. We got the idea from Pinterest of course, and here is our version...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I tell ya this was the item of this summers garage sales. I think between me and my mom we picked up five dressers similar to this style. This was one of the more special ones a little bigger, and detailed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband and I picked it up near the end of the summer, and it sat in the garage waiting for inspiration for awhile. Then I seen <a href="http://redhenhome.blogspot.com/2013/09/three-tone-dresser.html">this one</a> at <a href="http://redhenhome.blogspot.com/">Red Hen Home</a>. I really wanted to keep the drawers and especially the top wood, but after close inspection, it was just a little too rough, so I settled for leaving some of the trim and legs. I just cleaned it up and rubbed some stain on it to shine it up. <br />
<br />
Apparently I didn't take before pics, errr!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted the drawers and top Cottage white. So I guess it accomplished the same look I was going for. Mixing white and dark stained wood is my favorite look, it's what I choose to put in my own house mostly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately most of the pieces we get are in a pretty rough state. Stripping and staining is pretty much out of the question do to the time it takes, it's just not worth it. The funny thing is when a piece is in good enough shape to leave in the original state, it takes much longer to sell. I think people know that our look is painted furniture and they come for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly one of the pulls was broken so I had to come up with something. I don't mind mismatched handles and knobs and the glass ones I chose are still old fashioned and antiquey (I'm pretty sure they're going to add that word to the dictionary) so I'm ok with it, hopefully someone else who wants this look will be also.<br />

I wanted to share more of the pictures that <a href="http://www.itkpic.com/">Shealyn Stout </a> took of the Cottage a few weeks ago. Of course it looks wayyy different now. We brought Christmas to the Cottage. We're also constantly selling pieces and moving things around, but you get a good idea of what we have to offer on a regular bases.<br />

Finally a simple, no big issues project. This hutch was a Craigslist find, It was close to home, a good price, and all in tact. I even got to keep the handles and knobs. </div>

I decided on black but painted the top and inside our creamy white then antiqued it with Minwax in Provincial. It's features are the glass paneled doors, with adjustable shelves, shuttered lower cabinets doors for storage, also the long drawer for flatware or platters. I also have a thing for furniture with legs.</div>
