BOWFRONTS and BOWTIES

Those who know me well, know I love bowties. So it was no surprise that I took a liking to bowfront dressers and bureaus. I found both of these pieces at the same Goodwill at different times. Im not sure what I will do with them. Maybe restained the dresser in a dark ebony tone and maybe grey for the bureau. My friend texted me when they picked it up and said, "This looks like you." Whut n da werld does dat mean?

Inspiration: via Tobi Fairley's blog and website. This dresser is made by Hickory Chair

Mr. Goodwill Hunting said...

Yes. I sure did. Enjoyed her blog a lot. I think area bloggers (there are a few) should get together and visit a good flea market and or some thrift stores one weekend morning.

I just found out Charlotte has a West Elm. My living room come together pretty quick!

There are a few Bryn I think is in Charlotte as well. If not thifting at least have a meet-up at least once a month. Imagine the fun we could have.

You always have such interesting finds and such a uniques perspective.

I'd like to invite you to join my blog party on Tuesdays. Tuesday Trivia Tie-in. It was inspired by my ties, and I always write about a tie (althopugh I don't have any bowties). But readers are invited to choose any one of their treasures, highlight it in a blog post, and include a little background info. Kind of a blog version of "The rest of the story..."

I'd love to see you join in. I haven't been going very long and it's still just a small party, but I have high hopes.

My mother in law has a dresser very much like this. She took it to Antique Road Show while in Atlanta and it was worth over six grand. I'd check on it before redoing it. Thanks for you sweet visit- and you can sneak a bite any time. LOL!

Found your blog through another person, interested to see what you do with the dresser!

I saw a similar dresser on freecycle a few days ago, but it was quickly snapped up and I was a little slow. Oh well, there's always Goodwill!
