Fabulous Find

K- and I recently discovered a fantastic shop. It is only open a few times a year. A cooperative of people who like to salvage old junk open their doors to the public and let us purchase their refurbished treasures for mere pennies. If you like ancient furniture and vintage art, then this place is the place to shop. I have been looking for the perfect dresser to paint and put in our living room.
I picked up this lovely bit for only $35!


I didn't mind the slate-meets-eggplant color, however it was too dark for the space I had in mind. I needed it to go here, and brighten up this side of the room.


I painted it with Behr brand in a color called Aqua Spray. The frame is done in Light Turquoise. The lamp was $3 at a thrift store. Overall, the room is much more balanced now. It seems smaller, but cozier.
