A Friday Find

We have been spoilt with some beautiful weather lately so I hope is continues for you all on Mothers Day.
I just had to share this gorgeous old chippy mantel that I got today. I dont have the desire or the heart to paint it. I spend hours making pieces look like this so to find one already aged and chippy is a real bonus.

The cedar drawers were a recent ebay find and already painted in a cream colour.

Happy Sweet Mother’s Day to all you beautiful bloggers.

    The drawers are wonderful…one of the rare times you say for values sake..pity they are painted or were pine instead of cedar and then the paint wouldn't matter to value. But as you and I know its not always about the dollar,its about the heart Happy Mother's Day xx Katherine

    That is a gorgeous mantel! It looks perfect on the drawers. I like the combination of the two pieces, one chippy and the other freshly painted.

    I always look at the worn edges of pieces like this and imagine the hands the touched it over the years, the homes it has enhanced. And now it is being loved once again.
    Have a splendid Mother's Day.
