Here is one of the pieces that I've been working on now for quite some time. It took a little longer than expected because I ran into a bit of snag when it came to replacing the old broken hinge hardware.

Most hardware made for chests are specialty items which means they can't be found at your local hardware store...good to know for next time! :)

Here is a quick before and after...

(the full listing with price will be posted shortly!)

Good Morning Beautiful People!

So, you're probably all wondering why I haven't posted anything in quite some time and to be completely honest, I have no other excuses other than I've been really busy trying to get a few pieces finished that I'm currently working on. My husband and I decided that we were in desperate need of a whole kitchen overhaul as well, so I’ve also been spending a good part of my days picking out appliances, choosing cabinets, colours, countertops, hardware, if you have ever been through a renovation process, you know exactly what I mean!

I’ve been distracted a little bit to say the least and in being a resident of Canada, the weather has been gorgeous for the last couple of weeks so I’ve also been trying to spend sometimes outdoors in my garden before the snow comes back to haunt us....yuk!!!! However, I just wanted to touch base with all of you today so say, “Hello!” and to remind you that we still have the following unfinished and finished pieces available which have been recently reduced.

Have A Wonderful Day!
