The Genevieve Dresser - Before & After

Hello friends! When I initially found The Genevieve Dresser I had planned to keep her for myself. She is 99 years old and had an old Swedish newspaper in one of the drawers. My brother speaks Swedish and lived in Sweden for two years which made me think it was a sign that I needed to keep this piece. But lets get real - that was just a big fat lamo excuse to keep yet another piece for myself. Once it was completed I knew I would not want to part with all of its beautiful chunkiness! And will you believe me when I tell you that it has a sister vanity! With a mirror! How often does that happen I ask you. Pictures of that the sister coming up next.
The shape of this dresser is so charming. There really is nothing delicate about it. It is solid and in amazing condition. As Mike was carrying it into The Old Flamingo I nearly throw myself on the ground and grabbed this foot. Do you believe me? Okay maybe I am exaggerating a touch but I really do grow to love nearly each piece that we complete. Don't get me wrong - I have seriously had some love hate relationships with a few and couldnt wait to get them out the door and yell - don't let that hit you on the way out. But this is a treasure.
And there you have her. She is available to be purchased at The Old Flamingo which opens on Thursday! We will be having a grand opening with party hats and streamers sometime in August so I will keep you all informed.

I have also had several inquiries about our new home. Everything is going well. We had our shutters installed today and we are settling in quite nicely. Pictures to come! Thank you for all of your continued support!
