Not a Frumpy Old Secretary any more

I've had this secretary

for about 34 years!

She is old.....and beginning to look a little frumpy.

I was tired of her darkness.

I (very briefly) considered painting her white

(Don't freak out, sister-in-law!),

but she is old and in beautiful condition......

just frumpy.

So dear daughter gave her a new outfit:

I like the light colored tray propped up against

the dark cubbies.

Yes, the cubbies are cute, but too dark to see.



She filled the sheleves with silver on the top

(easier to see in real life),

white edges of books on 2nd shelf,

and my angel collection on 3rd shelf...

everything reflecting light.

I like this vignette....

D moved a magnolia wreath from another room

and added a monogram being used elsewhere.

True confession,

I was ready to put the secretary in the basement. Really.

But Daughter revived her to live another day upstairs!

I'm really liking this.

Have you revived any furniture lately?

Blessings,

Linda
