you might recall that this fall, i had the pleasure of working on several things for darling ellye’s room…all fab flea market finds by her lovely mom.  only one other tiny wrap-up task remained: adding a hit of color in the form of painted wooden knobs and lining detail around the top of this beautiful old dresser.  here’s a before & after:

when adding skinny stripes to things, here is my secret weapon: the sword liner.

    What a fun and wonderful delight to see GiGi’s earrings, which I remember from my very young days on her lobes being so lovingly redone by my most thoughtful son-in-law for my most wonderful daughter. May you wear them with happiness.
