The wild hair hit me hard this weekend and I become obsessive about completion of the task that the wild hair had found for me. First was a dresser that I picked up curb side that turned out to be quite the find.
It is a beautiful solid wood 4 drawer dresser with dove tail drawers and a very art deco design. It had a wood finish but was pretty beat up so I painted it white, put an aged patina over that with a light wood stain and softly distressed it so that it looked like and older piece.
I love the way it turned out and especially like that the pulls stand out more than they did before. The pulls are really nice with a tortoise shell Bakelite piece that sits behind the pull itself.
Friday night I sat in the living room staring at that dresser for an hour or two before my obsessive side MADE me get up and do something with it. Needless to say, I was up till about 3am fiddling with the dresser and then finished it on Saturday. Whew! Glad that is over......but wait there's more!
My wild hair decided that I needed to make homemade sausage! So Sunday was the day that I made chicken Italian sausages. I made some in hog casings and some patties. They also turned out really good, a little spicy and actually good for you, in a relative way.
Now my wild hair has straightened out and I can actually rest a little and enjoy my beautiful dresser and my yummy sausages, oh yea! and do my laundry and straighten up the living room and.......
Happy Sunday!
