our trip to remnants of the past...

i have the best husband ever!  he took me to remnants of the past this weekend and we had a great time...he made me laugh in a time that has been hard for me to smile and i love him so much for that!
remnants of the past is a lovely show and judy {i have not met you yet}...you do an amazing job putting this show together and the women and men that sell there are so nice...i bought a lot of treasures {check out the chair my husband is loading that is going in our family room}...

steve loved this chair and ottomon for his office...


our ride home was lovely...one of my favorite things on the planet is beach and the ocean and there is nothing better than driving a long the coast in cali and looking at the beach and smelling the ocean air...

a lovely old french armoire...

this piece is a beauty...
it's a lovely old french armoire that came out of an estate...
it's in good condition and ready for anyone's home...unfortunately, we can't use it right now and my husband wants to try and get the garage cleaned out...
it measures approximately 93" high {from top to bottom} x 41" across x 23" deep...
it has an amazing beveled mirror on the front door...
it has all the hardware as well as a clothing bar that was added later for hanging clothes, however, you don't have to use the bar and/or hardware if you don't want to...like i said, it was added later...
it does break down in to seven pieces...the bottom with the legs, the drawer, two side panels, the back panel, the door with the mirror and then the top...they all latch together with holes/dowels and then the original hardware...
it has a lot of storage...as well as a drawer on the bottom!
it would be super cute painted, shabby-d and tea stained...everything looks better tea stained!
it's truly a gorgeous piece...let me know if you want to come and take a look...
the price is $275.00...a great find...

xoxo
SORRY...THIS PIECE SOLD THE FIRST DAY I POSTED IT...ENJOY...
