~~~~Hollywood Glam~~~~

I bet y'all have wondered where I have been?

......I hope you have noticed my absence.....

I am flat out B.U.S.Y with several custom jobs = good

But completely stressed out about a BIG decision that I need to make

for the future of Restored~Home = yucky, aggravating and exciting!

I cannot give you any more info at this point but suffice to say that I have probably WAY overthought this thing.....I just want to do the right thing and I am sure that timing is a big part of it.

So, if you would, please pray for me and I will keep you posted on my decision......I have about 3-4 more days to sort it out.  BLAH.

Ok...onto bigger and better stuff!

This week I delivered a second piece to a formal wear/bridal shoppe that I am working on.

When I have all pieces complete I will do a full post with all kinds of lovely pics but for today you get just a couple of teasers. (smirk)

Let me just tell you that I have not been simply pushed out of my comfort zone on this job.....but literally SHOVED out of it!

You know my general style and this.is.not.it......but OHSOMUCHFUN I had with this!

Here was my inspiration when I walked in the shoppe....

And this is what I came up with....

I call her "Hollywood Glam."

Sleek and sophisticated....

And these new filigree handles just scream "BLING"

don't ya think?

I adore the slick, black, high gloss top against the matte, charcoal base.

Silver accents are just icing on the cake.

What do you think?

WAIT!

....you cannot possibly appreciate what she is today without seeing where this girl came from....

I feel bad splashing these humiliating pics of her all over the internet.....

kinda of the like the tabloids in the grocery store....

.just mean.

These were taken "in progress"....the top was actually painted in that "lovely" teal green, as well.....

I'd say about 4 COATS!

Soy Gel Stripper ALL.THE.WAY, Baby!

Now you know why....

and she is pretty happy I think

and so am I and, best of all, so is her new owner....

Don't you just LURVE happy endings?

Blessings Abundant.....

Come check out the PARTAY!

Everyone welcome...
