1936 vanity mirror restoration done, complete with Before and After pics. I'm not about to let a little thing like getting run over by a truck be the end of a classic. Next stop: master bathroom above the sink #wiscolinahouse #vanitymirror #antique #restoredfurniture #repurposed #oldisnotadefect #phoenixfromtheashes #girlwithahammer (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

Treated myself to an embroidered Union Jack pillow as an early Christmas gift. Teapot and Doyle compendium for scale and verisimilitude.

Coffee cart refurb complete! The painted portions are pressboard and laminate, not solid wood. My cart may still be before my horse, but at least it matches the shelf! #wiscolinahouse #coffeestation #refurbishedfurniture #repurposed #oldisnotadefect #coffeecart (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

Under no circumstances do I need a new rehab project. So, of course, I go pick up an Art Deco waterfall dresser in Rosendale. It was free and the lady needed it gone. I can't beat that deal. #antiquepox #rationalization #wiscolinahouse #waterfalldresser #furniturerehab #refinishdontreplace #nopaint #artdecofurniture (at Rosendale, Wisconsin)

Big Band music and painter's tape on a Sunday morning. Aw, yeah. #wiscolinahouse #easylikesundaymorning (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

I caved a little on my decision to paint this piece. The sides and front edges got sanded and stained. The rest will be painted a deep green-teal. #wiscolinahouse #repurposed #salvage #coffeestation #stainedwood #paintedwood (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

Next up on the project hit parade, coffee station cup shelving from a discarded desk topper. That's primer, not the final finish. This paint grade pine was never stained, so my policy against painting original hardwoods still stands. #wiscolinahouse #salvage #repurposedfurniture #coffeestation #shelves #cupstorage #oldisnotadefect (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)
