More Basement Treasures

This bed frame is from the fifties and belonged to my Dad's parents. Liz would love it since her house is vintage fifties but since she lives in Arkansas?, we had to find another recipient. It has a built in plug in for clocks, lamps etc. We knew it had to go to a reader. My niece Katie! She loves to read and my brother Ken admitted she needs a new bed. Perfect! There is a matching dresser and so the aunts immediately redecorated her room in fifties pale aqua and a touch of pink. Cute! My SIL Julie is now stuck with that little job.

Speaking of redecorating a young girl's room, the summer before I started high school I redecorated my room. I found this bed in the garage attic and painted it apple green. I found a dresser at the neighbors, they let me have it and it too got a coat of apple green. The walls were pink and the bedding was pink gingham. I bought a small round table and Mom sewed the table cloth. It was apple green with white swiss dots and white dingle balls. I found an old crate and put candles and plants on it. My first project! Oh the memories.

This lovely loveseat has a matching chair. I had it in my apartment when I was a single teacher living in the city. I bought it at an antique store. I can't decide if I should sell it, or recover it and have cushions made. Hubby has good memories of that couch. Sorry, I forgot this is a family friendly site.

This is an incomplete project. I started to strip it about 20+ years ago and lost interest. Maybe now is the time.

Next post, the knick knacks. More trash or treasures coming right up!
