You know that feeling when you know exactly what you want for a spot, and you search and wait and just know you will find it one day and you try to be patient when really you just wish destiny would drop it in your path? And then that day comes and you walk into an antique store and find the exact right piece in the exact right size for $45 American dollars for crying out loud and you don't even call your husband and tell him you are buying a piece of furniture like you normally would you just walk home and get your SUV and drag it back and surprise him with it and you are just filled with a kind of euphoria and rightness for having done the waiting?
Well, that's what happened to me last week. After a year my patience was rewarded and now I have the perfect spot to hold bills, paint decks, scarves, hats, the days mail and my keys. It's all about storage in a small house, you know. And now this side of the family room makes me ridiculously happy and the amount I love my time out corner just increased infinitely.
I love how this house is evolving. Now if fate would just drop a new slipcovered sectional in my path...
I love your Florentine tray! It is perfect there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks PERFECT in there!!!! So glad you bought my little dresser!
ReplyDeleteGood Things come to those who wait...
ReplyDeleteI love the color of your door...I have beadboard that color in my kitchen here at home...
Glad you found what you were looking for...it looks perfectly perfect...
Cheers!

That is one fantastic find - a gift for sure! And I am so in love with the white lamp on top- THAT is the sort of lamp I've been waiting on like you were waiting on the dresser. But, yes . . . patience pays off!
ReplyDeleteOh wow it is beautiful! Great find
ReplyDeleteThat is a great dresser, and you can store a lot in it. There is real satisfaction in finding just the right thing to meet your needs and extra stisfaction when it's a wonderful price! Did you paint it yourself?
ReplyDeleteIt fits perfectly...like it was meant to be. Even the color is right. Your time out corner just keeps getting better and better.

ReplyDeletePerfect fit and gorgeous lines! And yes, I know just what you mean...yippee for waiting for the right piece to show up.
ReplyDeleteLove the dresser, def worth the wait. I'm still waiting for the Furniture fairy to drop off my slip-covered sectional, too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and calm decorating! Love the dresser~ ;) ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteOh- I love it and it is just perfect there. The color is amazing, too! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWaiting for that perfect piece is so worth it! I love the colors and style and it goes so well with your blue door! Good find!
ReplyDeleteFor me it was a table. I bought it without discussing it with my husband. He peeked at the cute little tag hanging from it and didn't wince. He loves the look and the size and has stopped shaking his head at my constantly changing things. And now, I just need the slipcovers to miraculously appear.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your perfect little dresser!
It's perfect. Lucky you! I can't believe the price, what a bargain. I'm your newest follower.
ReplyDeleteThis piece truly is perfect for that spot! So happy for you (and wondering if I can have similar serendipity in my own home - it would be so nice to have a true home for all the hats / scarves / gloves that accumulate).
