Piece of Work Wednesday Furniture Link Party Number 73!

Happy POWW!  Before I get to the party I want to share with you a couple pictures from the space Sarah and I have just finished setting up at Wild Rose & Co for our new venture, Persephone!  We will have our grand opening this Saturday from 10-5, but the shop is also open Weds through Saturday!  And please note, you do not need to get your eyes checked.  I had to blue out one item as it will be in Annapolis Home magazine and I can't show pictures of it yet. :)




And we are proudly carrying some of the awesome pom pom garland's my talented and crafty friend, Ali, made!  Sarah and I had so much fun setting up and both laughed that even if we sell nothing we will have fun decorating it each month! :)  Of course, we do hope to sell stuff, too.  If you are local, please come out and see us this Saturday!  We would LOVE to have you there!

Ok, this is one of my absolute favorite pieces I am going to share with you today.  If I had room or the need I would keep it!  But I love the white midcentury dresser Chris and I already have and it fits more than this one.  So up for sale it goes.

I am sharing all the details, and the how-to's over at the DIY Club today, but will share with you a quick before and after.  Oh, and you will want to go check it out because I swear by the wood filler AND I tried out a new finishing wax that I love!  It was so easy to use!  Anyhow, here is the before.  All the screws had fallen out as I drove home with it, thus all the handles barely hanging on!  Plus, it makes the before/after even more dramatic! ;)
 And after"

Your shop looks so adorable!!! I want to come very badly. Not sure if it will work out as I just found out we have an earlier than usual hockey game. I will try!

Restyled Vintage said...

Your shop space looks gorgeous, Cassie, I am so excited for you! My stuff is selling faster than I can replenish it at Piper & rush at present... I have two weeks more to wait and then we will be in our own home and I will be able to get seriously painting again (can't wait!) Are they some vintage pinnys I can see hanging in your shop space? I have a bit of a collection of them, they are just so cute!

xx Karen

Sabrina said...

I want to go to your cute little shop! Seriously, what a delightful area... love all the frames on the wall!
I had to ask my husband who Persephone was in Greek Mythology, since he knows all that stuff. He thought it was a very cool name for a shop!

Kahli said...

I love the dresser and the hardware! You're making us want to paint the dining room buffet now, grrr lol. Also in the store that turquoise side table is magnificent! I need to find one like it!

Katie said...

So your space looks awesome! I would be drawn to it immediately! LOVE that dresser - seriously, those handles are amazing. I need that dresser. :)

What an awesome space! Good luck with your opening and congrats on your upcoming feature. That's so exciting!

Heather @ The Junktion said...

So excited for you and your booth space. I have spaces at a couple of stores and it is so much fun. I love the thrill of checking my sales each day to see what items have found new homes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do...who I am kidding, I know you will! Great job on the dresser by the way!

Good Time Charlie said...

Yasmin said...

Owww! Love the store-LOVE the drawers!!! :D Did i mention love? haha

Catherine said...

I'm a bit naughty - I scan to the first photo, and thought 'what's going on here, there's a blury bit'! Now I'm intrigued! Look forward to a reveal! All the very best for the store - it looks great and I'm sure it will be a success.

I love the dresser - the change in pulls makes an amazing difference!

Amy of The Salvage Collection said...

yippee for you! see? good things do come to those who wait. and work hard. and are kind and maybe pray a touch.

whatever!

umm....it could be my computer but i see not even 1 link and it says linky party closed. hmmmm. hope i didn't break it!

Amy of The Salvage Collection said...

and the dresser is a knock out! those pulls! oh, those pulllllls!

Rhonda said...

Hmmm... the linky is not showing up for me. Am I doing something wrong?

Kacey said...

Yay! I am just so happy for you! Your space is looking lovely. Can't wait to see the mystery project. And love your midcentury dresser - fun!

Thanks for hosting. :)

Deneen@dreaming-n-color said...

You know what I would do with that dresser!!! Paint something on it!lol You did a great job with it as usual!

Gwen @ The Bold Abode said...

I wish you could have seen my jaw drop when I saw that dresser. Bam...on the floor. I am seriously wanting that bad boy for Morgan's room...sadly, the cash is low...or I would drive over there and tie it to the roof of my car so it would have a special home. Well, special for me, but maybe not for it cuz it would probably get destroyed by two boys and their cat.

Erin said...

Your shop space looks fantastic, Cassie! Hope the grand opening was a huge success today!

Polly said...

congratulations! somehow I missed this post!! I am happy for you! You will do great! Follow your dreams!!

Also I and in LOVE with that dresser! I love the lines and the drawer pulls you chose. I would buy that is one second flat. FABULOUS makeover!!

Best wishes on your new venture!!
