Before and After...a quick fixer upper.

Wanna sit here a while with me and have a glass of wine? Oops, it's still morning...make that COFFEE! We can chat about our love of junk, right?! Tell me what you like to do with your junk...do you usually love it as is, all natural in it's former self? Or do you like to give your junk a bit of a fresh facelift? How do you decide?


That decision for me is sometimes quite easy, but sometimes also quite difficult. I love the natural time worn elegance and "life" marks most pieces present to me. Sometimes, however, a fresh look is in order. Take a look at the picture below. The wood trim on this room divider is dark and gets lost between the sweet toile panels. I debated. Facelift won.

And below is the after. The wood now frames the toile and brings out a lighter tone to the entire look of the room divider. The pictures really don't show how gorgeous this is (had to flash, sorry!)....and it looks SaWeet by my bistro set.

Tempted. To. Keep. It. But since it blocks the view out the door, I won't. You'll find this item at JunkFest! And a whole lot more!
