Another "Be Happy" Post

Mom's second bedroom-  progress. Really the only 2 issues left are getting her sufficient bookcases (I guess you know a thing or two about this problem) and going through all her paper/ archives. The 6 boxes by the window are all papers.

Craigslist in the Washington DC/ Virginia Area

Real posts for hand painted vintage furniture in our area.
Disclaimer: How many of these will actually sell or sell for anywhere NEAR the asking price I can not tell you.  But as I said before, people should recognize that I am asking for very reasonable prices.

Be happy Post


So Doug had bought me this dresser plus a mirror for $50. I know you probably could have gotten something like this near you for $15, but I thought there was still room for a profit and I was looking for a few more pieces to paint.

I decided against birds since the bottom drawers are REALLY set back from the top 2.  (Already you can be happy) 



I tried the "Alaina" combo, but with this piece's lines it still read REALLY clunky. I posted it and got exactly 0 responses in 2 weeks.  I was starting to question this investment.

Whatcha'  think of me now?

Table progress
