Something Old

I'm sorry to say these pictures don't do these flowers justice - they really were lovely. Simple, clean, elegant, just enough color. I say it all the time, almost everytime actually, but this really was one of my favorite weddings.

Oh, Vanity!

I refinish quite a bit of furniture - not enough to open a shop or anything, but certainly enough to furnish a house.  This little habit started out of necessity, but I think even if I won the lottery that I don't play I would still try to make treasures out of trash just because I enjoy the challenge. 
When we bought this crazy house it came with some equally crazy vanities that had been retrofitted from dressers.  You might be thinking, "oooh, that sounds great!"  No, it wasn't great.  They were too short to start with, the finished was ruined, the sinks were too small, the faucets were akwardly off-set, the drawers were broken, and to top it all off, none of them worked because all of the traps had been removed - just crazy!
