Eiffel Tower Dresser

My inspiration for this dresser I believe was a girl from Texas.

My computer crashed and I lost the link and pictures. If anyone knows, please tell me

so I can give her credit.

Edited to add:

Thanks Marguerite and Mariette! My inspiration came from Gussied Up Furnishings in Austin TX.

Marilyn & I found this broken down dresser at a yardsale for.........$3.00!

I couldn't believe the price! And it was the last day of the sale! I sanded it down and fixed the

damaged veneer top. Sorry, once again I forgot to take before pictures.

I painted it black and then distressed it really hard. Then modge podged old book pages to the drawer fronts.

I printed out the Eiffel Tower in sections and modge podged them on top of the book pages after they were good and dry. It was much harder than I anticipated to get everything straight and aligned! I just sprayed the original hardware black and reused it.

Then 3 coats of wipe on poly. (Love this stuff!)

She now stands proud at the entrance of the shop. I'm secretly hoping she doesn't sell (well not secretly.....everyone knows!) I would love to bring her back home!

Beautiful Glass Glitter!

I ordered some glass glitter from a shop on etsy and just look at how beautifully it was packaged!

The tissue paper was made to look like roses.

I was so thrilled with the package that I didn't even want to unwrap it!

I ordered it from Kimberly at Glitter and Kitsch.

Thanks Kimberly! You totally made my day!

But after staring at it for quite some time I finally broke down.

The glitter is just as beautiful! I can't wait to use it!

I think I'm gonna go play now!

Where's the best place to get German Glass Glitter? And some oval metal tags....

I need some for a few Christmas projects I'm working on.
Where do you find the best deals? TIA

A Vie Renouvele Is Overflowing!

The shop is full of antique, vintage & new items.

I've got a lot more vintage & antique clothing to add as soon as we

install a clothing rack. I love the look of the clothes hanging

all over the place but we have so many more pieces to add that I'm afraid it will

look too cluttered.

I really need to get in there and dress the manny........her decorated hoop skirt sold this week! Yeah!

We've also added a lot more fall since these pictures were taken so if you're in the area please stop in.
