So, while Gus and I were scooting along on a morning run the other day, I ran across this little gem on the side of the road. I spied that sucker from 2 blocks away, and didn’t even stop running – just slowed down, scooped it up, hid it in a bush, sprinted home and then came back and threw it in my hooptie. She needs a little dusting off, but isn’t she pretty?
I saw a similar vintage dime piece on Layla Grayce a few weeks ago and the ûber girlie, Granny-chic enthusiast in me let out a loud squeal. I don’t think I wanna go cream on the base (if I do, my antique aficionado of a father might disown me) – but I may just clean ‘er up some and try to do a lime wash finish… and I’m def gunning to add a pristine piece of marble to the top. Wuh-bang.
A wee piece like this is super versatile, so I don’t mind spending a little to doctor it up. Thinking for now – since the depth is so shallow (maybe 8 inches) – I can pop it under my wall-mounted TV in my itsy bitsy but adorable bedroom with my wicker furniture beside it.
Or later, between two vanities in a bathroom.
Or, in an entryway. Or as the sweetest little nightstand. Isn’t dumpster diving fun??
Happy Saturday!
xoxo,
