Mirror mirror on the wall

I am a little heart broken today! I was at one of the shops I frequent today. I had spotted this great antique dresser in PERFECT shape. I had a total lapse in judgement that day. It was raining cats and dogs and I had the baby with me. In a totally stupid decision I decided to not pick it up that day. I know you already know where the story is going. Today I go back and it's gone. I actually had called yesterday and the lady said it was gone. While I was out today I decided to see for myself. Note to self when you see something you love, buy it. Now my poor kitchen still does not have an island for the remodel. I had planned to by this dresser and put a granite top on it. Oh well, on to the next.

Today's trip was not all in vain however. We (my 20 month old and 7 month baby and I ) found a great mirror. It is a honkin piece. I think I almost gave myself a hernia getting it out of the car! I am stoked about it. I think it could go a few ways as far as color. I can see super shabby chic or really clean like a black. Either way it is such a sweet piece.

Back to Betsy for a second. Who knew she would be loved so much. I mean I love her but I didn't know how many others would. Betsy potentially found a home. I just need to take care of her single issue. Thanks for all of your support in our new venture!!!

This is Betsy!

And I love her! The sad part is she is single and homeless! I am working on the single part. I am shopping for the loves of her life. Four chairs!!!! I am thinking two set of two chairs. She is to cute to be stuck with four boring chairs!


This is her in primer! I can't quite nail down a direction to go until she has some chairs. The great thing about "Betsy" is she is super flexible. She could be extended to seat 4 maybe 6. Or "Betsy" could be used as an entry way table. Better yet in a small space like an apartment she could be both. What more could you ask of a girl! Here is a picture of her extended.




Aren't you starting to love her too??? I think it's funny that I have fallen in love and named a table. Pretty comical in my book! Back to "Betsy" and her homeless situation. If you or someone you know is willing to take in a girl off the streets let me know!!! I promise she's a pretty awesome gal!!!
