Flea Market Find #2

Hi there! I'm the post that was promised on Monday but I'm running a little late. My most sincere apologies. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm the exceedingly interesting thing that was found and rescued on Saturday afternoon in a junk store in Springfield and liberated to new life in Findlay.

What do you mean. . .I'm just an old window? I am destined to be SO MUCH more than that if you will just give me a minute to change.

What do you think now, smarty pants?? All I needed was some scraping, sanding and imagination and now I have a whole new lease on life! It's good to be young again!

I am in need of some fashion advice however. Do you think I should put on a fresh coat of white paint? Or do you like my vintage feel? How about some ideas for my bottom half – I do feel rather exposed. For scale, my bottom half is approximately 21x29. . .and no smart comments about the size of my rear if you please! 

Here are a few thoughts I've had on the matter thus far – a piece of a vintage quilt that already has holes in it, so it can't really be used as a quilt any longer. A map of the world that could symbolize a journey. Possibly removing the glass and painting a board with chalkboard paint so I could further be useful as a message board. Oh, the possibilities!

Please leave me a comment with any thoughts, ideas or criticisms!

Oh. . .and by the way, if you happen to talk to my refinisher in the near future and she appears to be a bit "slower" than normal, if you know what I mean – she realized about three quarters of the way through sanding me that I am probably covered in lead paint. The poor dear, she didn't really have many brain cells to spare. TTFN!* Looking forward to hearing from you!

* ta-ta for now!
