Monday! Time for my find of the week. It is teeny but sooooo amazing to find! A key! 
A gorgeous old, vintage key that actually belongs to a piece! This is so rare to find. This one in particular is so beautiful and so full of vintage charm.
It opens this gem…
I am working on this piece and will reveal on Thursday (hence, the “mystery”)! See how the key mimics the piece? 
Love.
After a weekend of baseball games and screaming kids at a birthday party at a venue called “Shadow Land/Laser Tag” (pure torture – believe me), I deserved a treat today. My mother and I spent the morning out and about scouring the area for hidden treasures and we did well…
A large old globe and a fantastic vintage, chippy basket, two sweet chairs that are going to look gorgeous painted with new fabric seats – these are always fun transformations – and out of sight are a vintage English gateleg table and a coffee table that is just full of fun detail.
Off to start my mystery project above!
I love your work and was wondering if you would mind sharing what product you use to get your surface ready. Like myself, I see that dining set ready to transform and I think of the hours and hours of prep before you can even start the fun part…have you found any shortcuts for prep…vinegar, PST, whatever? Your pieces always look so professional done.
Is it Thursday yet?? Can’t wait to see the mystery piece!
