I recently found an armoire on FB Marketplace for free. Yep FREE!!!
I have no business getting a big ole' armoire even if the price is right at FREE!
I could not resist and I had all kinds of thoughts swirling through my mind of what I might re love this armoire into for this tiny house.
Another reason why I should not have gotten a large armoire I live in a tiny house!!!
When I showed Terry the armoire I "purchased" for free he gave me the look and said where is that going to go?
Exactly I said to him that was my question to myself as well!
Then I began to tell him I have a plan for this old beautiful hunk of wood cabinet. Again I got the look.
I think he words were " You really mean you have a plan for me with this hunk of wood?" Don't you love when they are getting your drift lol!!
Then I reminded him about all his lovely tools he holds so dear and near to his heart and smiles when he gets to use them.
Ha!!! I had him there!!!

| This is a picture of the lovely beast of an armoire. I loved the beautiful base and crown molding on this armoire. I am using her pics from her selling ad. You really cannot see the pattern of the detail but it was grapes and leaves. While it looks pretty from a distance in this picture up close not so much. That will be amended during the re love. |

| This is the armoire open. The lady that gave this away used it for a computer station. I have a bigger dream for this piece. Stay tuned. We are working on this big ole' hunk of furniture as I write this post. Hoping soon to show you how it is re loved with new purpose and beauty. Have a great week ahead. PS: I want to thank all of you for your continued prayers for my mom. We see her doctor and the pulmonologist on Tuesday and we hope the tests will be back with answers. I believe in the power of prayer and I appreciate each of you for sharing your caring hearts in prayer for my mom. |

ReplyDeleteContinue to hold your Mom in my thoughts and 🙏🏻 and hope it goes well on Tuesday. YOU GOT THAT FOR FREE!!! I would've grabbed it too, no room or not. I can't wait to see what you do with it. Whatever your plan, it's going to be a beaut!
ReplyDeleteWow that’s quite a piece! I’m imagining it with your white and either gold or silver accents on the trim work! Now getting it inside of your house! I know you’ll come up with something special for it’s use! Prayers for your mom.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I an only imagine what you'll do with it. I would love to find 3-4 to use as storage closets in our new room. Can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteI know you and Terry will work your magic and we will be amazed!

Omygoodness, you gave me such a chuckle this morning. I thought you were listening to conversations between my hubby and I. I read it to him over coffee this morning. So we were both laughing. We have had many of these exact conversations over the last 41 years. Thank goodness my man loves all his wonderful tools too. Lol. His most dreaded phase to hear come out of my mouth is. "Honey. I was thinking..." lol. We are so blessed to have men who love to please us. Tell Terry it could be worse. We are getting ready to purchase a repo, so lots of these conversations to come in our home again soon. Lol
ReplyDeleteThe armoire is fabulous. I know you and Terry will transform this free piece into something special. Continued prayers for your mom. Hugs
ReplyDeleteFREE???? *fainting* OH MY GOODNESS, that's a beautiful armoire! You are one lucky girl to find such a deal!! Go you!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looking forward to the redo! Your mother has my prayers.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't wait to see what you and Terry turn this into Kris! I just know that it will be fantastic. Praying that you have good news when the tests come back. Hugs, Gilly x
ReplyDeleteKris, I hope the doctor appointments today give you good news for your mother. I know it must be such a blessing for her to have you there with her for all of this. I've had the opportunity the past two months to have our daughter around and we've had so many good talks and time in the kitchen together. After moving back nearer family than Montana was, they're now moving back to Florida and I miss her so much.
ReplyDeleteThe lines of the armoire are lovely and I know it will become beautiful in your and Terry's hands!
Hi,
ReplyDeletePraying that you had good news today.
Oh my, free, that is a beauty and free! You lucky girl. ;-)
I am excited to see what the two of you do now. xx oo Carla
I can't wait to see what you do with the armoire. I know it will be beautiful! Praying this evening for your mom's appointment tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an incredible find......I can't wait to see what you do with it!!!!!
ReplyDeletePrayers that the test results come back good.

My dear and probably only blogger friend left! Thank you for coming to listen to my ultimate favorite song: Clair de Lune. This piece truly spoke to my feet as a three year old who knew she wanted to dance and to this now 62 year old's fingers as I re-explore my harp, hoping to dedicate my time to honor my father. Thank you for visiting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful armoire..
ReplyDeleteBest thoughts and wishes for your mom and you.
Hugs, Ida
Between your visions and Terry's talents, I know that something amazing will come of that armoire.
ReplyDeleteHope mom is doing better.
