mrs. jones’s super-clever friends karen klawinski and katherine kaelin just rescued these bookshelves from a store-closing sale. after a good scrubbing and sanding, they were given a layer of glaze to soften and age them, and camoflauge their little flaws. now, they will just melt into the background as a display for the yummy gifts and antique treasures at le cadeau.
here is before, after, and a detail:
le cadeau offers a fabulous, well-edited selection of antiques, gifts and treats for the home. if you’re shopping in memphis, please visit them within toad hall (central avenue at cooper street) or la maison (4768 poplar avenue). (mrs. jones is so very excited to once again be part of their annual gift, art & antique market on september 30 & october 1. feel free to e-mail me for the details.)
