My latest addiction is/are vintage boxes and drawers…okay so I’m fibbing a bit I’ve had the addiction for a while.  BUT I have two new favorite uses for those darling little sewing  machine drawers you find every now and then.  I started putting the remote controls in them upstairs on our bedside table AND I now use one to hold my makeup in the bathroom {obviously no I don’t wear much make up}.  We have small bathrooms so it sits perfectly above the toilet!

Perfect for remote controls {and of course a Red Box movie}.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just painted up 4 little sewing boxes and dropped them off at Stifel & Capra since I got a few requests for them at Lucketts after I showed one in the tour of my home.  I also found these fab old drawers that could be used to hold all kinds of stuff {just dropped off two of those as well at the shop}.

How fun are these lil’ guys

    Hi there, maybe it was you that waited on me at Lucketts when I bought my brush from you…I am the one that was visiting my daughter, but I live in Washington State..and I had a chair that needs another coat of annie sloan and how to do that since it’s been waxed……anyway I just packed that brush up with me to take it home and use on all my summer projects….I had no idea I was in your booth because I have been following your blog for over a year, bummer I would have liked to have told you that I love your blog!
