| Sweet Terry brought me home this beautiful bouquet of love. Each Valentine's Day he brings me a bouquet of all my favorite flowers. Hydrangea's, pink carnations and beautiful white roses. Reminds me that Spring and Summer are hopefully around the corner soon for us here in the midwest. |
 |
| I am working on a new project to show you soon. What on earth is this you ask? Well stay tuned and I will be showing you soon what this will be transformed and re loved into. Peggy my design assistant is curious too! |

| I will give you a hint. These were made in the early 60's by a company right here in Chicago called Saginaw. I have been looking for one of these pieces for awhile. They are rare to find in great condition like this one was. I had to drive to Fondulac Wisconsin about a 2.5 hour drive from where I live in Illinois to snatch up this piece. It was well worth the trip in a snow storm I might add to get this beautiful piece of history. As you have heard me say we are learning to live small and utilize and be creative with the space we have. We are working creatively so this tiny house can accommodate our needs. This piece is going to be a great piece to have in this tiny cottage home. Stay tuned hopefully this weekend I will have this piece ready to show in it's new re loved style. Terry and his mighty tools have been working hard on this piece to make it new and pretty for our cottage decor. Have a beautiful day. Happy Valentine's Day. xoxo Kris |

can't wait to see the results of this project. I have a speculation as to what it is, but not sure. Happy Valentines day to you and Terry.
ReplyDeleteOh! I can't wait to see it's transformation!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful! I love the vase. ;) And I am totally perplexed by your piece of furniture. I can't wait to see the big reveal. xo
ReplyDeleteWow, you are one brave woman to drive in a snow storm!! I can't wait to see what you create!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day Kris!
Happy Valentines Day. Can't wait for the reveal. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteYour bouquet is just beautiful. Terry did a good job. I can't wait to see what you do with your newest find. No doubt it will be amazing. Happy Valentine's day.
ReplyDeleteLooks very interesting ...
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day. Beautiful bouquet! xoxo Su
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!!
ReplyDeleteCan’t wait to see what you are up to! It reminds me of a server I had but I don’t see a split top so I’m guessing at what it’s purpose was! Wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day- love the flowers from Terry. 💐
ReplyDeleteKris, Your Terry is a real sweetheart. It makes me smile to read that he remembers your favorite flowers. Such a pretty bouquet too. I will admit as soon as I saw that "brown " piece of furniture I laughed, thinking oh Kris has a new project. You crack me up girl. But then hey, I can not wait to see what it becomes. LOL. Blessings for a happy Valentine's day. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers....what a sweet husband you have!!!! I can't wait to see how your project turns out :o)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!!!

I can't wait to see what it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting piece. Cannot wait to see it transformed . And the bouquet Terry bought you is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI should have mentioned that I do think I know what it is as we have a piece with a similar purpose I am waiting to bring home from my MIL's home.
DeleteHope you were able to stop at some of the cute shops along the way to Fond do Lac!My daughter did her undergrad in Oshkosh and I sure miss all the great shopping up there and along the way. Looking forward to the big reveal. Jane
ReplyDeleteLet me add how much I adore the arched doors on your new cabinet!
ReplyDeleteOh you little tease you! Can't wait to see what your magnificent mind has conjured up this time!! :)
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Can't wait to see your newest creation! And your design assistant is pretty cute too! Happy Valentine's Day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteKris, what beautiful flowers and I love that piece. Can't wait to see what?? Glad to see that Peggy is paws on!..Happy Valentine's Day my sweet friend..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteI believe your mid-century piece of furniture might have housed a console television or stereo but I might be wrong. I did see a clue where it said "Warwick Electronics" on the side manufactures sticker.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see how you re-purpose and transform this piece. I have seen many of the vintage console stereos and televisions made into bars.
Good guess Teresa but nope not an old TV or Stereo. I hope to have the piece finished up this weekend to reveal.
DeleteI think you will be surprised to see what it is.
xoox
Kris
your design assistant is just adorable! Your hubby is so sweet to have that gorgeous arrangement put together, just beautiful. well, looks like the dynamic duo is at it again. can't wait to see what this will be!
ReplyDeleteThat Terry is a sweetheart! I wish I had found him first! lol!
ReplyDeleteYou find the best pieces, and this piece is going to be awesome!
Lot of love,
Jane
WOOWOWOWOWOWOOOWOWOW! OK, what are you up to my gal pal?
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Kris
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines day and wow those flowers are just so beautiful* I can't wait to see what you do with that gorgeous piece. Have a great day Kris

I already love the look of the piece with it's arched panels. I can almost see how it might look after this weekend, but I know it will be so much 'more' than I can imagine. Enjoy the process and I look forward to the reveal.
ReplyDeleteI miss my Mark, who could do things, I was his helper. I do the best I can and ask God for strength and energy to do what I can. You and Terry inspire me and remind me of what I had. Lots of good memories and projects surround me here.
Love & hugs ~ FlowerLady
Libby says, 'tell 'em, mom!" lol. You've stumped me.....
ReplyDeleteTerry is true sweetheart, beautiful bouquet.
That is a very pretty cabinet as it is but I know it will be spectacular when you are finished with it! I haven't been in Fond du Lac in years...always thought it was a pretty town. Our neighbors are moving into your neck of the woods, I think around Schaumburg. Gorgeous, gorgeous flowers with a special meaning just for you. Not only is your hubs a very talented craftsman, he is a romantic. xoxo
ReplyDeleteTerry picked a beutiful bouquet for you, Kris. Enjoy the lovely flowers! Miss Peggy looks curious indeed and I also look forward to seeing what you two are going to do with this piece of furniture. I'm sure it will be awsome.

I'm going to guess that it was a record player of some kind...can't wait to see the transformation. And may I just say your design assistant is the cutest?
ReplyDeleteNice flowers! My man took me to a cooking class I was wanting to go to. It was so much fun!
hugs,
Cecilia
Too bad I never found a "Terry!" He's a winner. Gorgeous flowers. I'm happy to see Peggy looks right at home, even on your pretty white furniture. I always think of pets as family members, which means they sit on furniture!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Kris, I love the pretty flowers. I can't wait to see how your furniture turns out.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Julie xo
Kris, you have me intrigued. I looked the company up and the only information I get is a rolling buffet with storage for chairs. I know you and Terry will make this a beauty
ReplyDeleteCindy
I have no idea what this is, Kris. But I know it will be amazing when you're finished!
ReplyDeleteI miss receiving flowers from my husband. He would bring me small bouquets each week that he picked up at the store and then a big lovely one each month. I miss him and his love.
ReplyDeleteWaiting!! Some beautiful piece is coming up, I'm sure about that.. I'm excited..
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece of furniture! Of course, we all can't wait to see how it is transformed. That bouquet of flowers from your hubby is gorgeous. He did good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I know you will make it over beautifully. I did look it up, so I am pretty sure I know what is is...LOL It will make a great addition to your lovely home Kris. Have a fabulous weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty - that Terry is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteI thought that maybe it is a place where people kept there linens or a bar. Can't wait to see that you guys do to it, I am sure it will be beautiful.
I see Miss Peggy is supervising.
Have a wonderful warm weekend.
Hugs,
Mary
Ooh, ooh! I can't wait to see what you do! The flowers from Terry are positively gorgeous. What a guy! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious now!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
I love all your projects!! Can't wait to see what you create out of this piece, Kris!!
ReplyDeleteOk, now you've perked my curiosity....I do think it has to supply storage? I'm always thinking about storge sinc the charmer has so little. Where will you use it? I'm curious too!
ReplyDeleteI almost wish I didn't see this post you stinker! Now I'm super curious 🤔
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty!
