We named her Olivia

I attended the flea market this weekend at Junkadoodle in Dallas and had a blast. I did so well and met so many nice people. If it was only my full time job.

One of the treasures I sold was this chest of drawers we named Olivia because it kinda reminded me of my sister. Ashley and I ended up naming all of the things we sold, so as I post them here, I'll reveal their names.
Ashley and I were very sad to see Olivia go. Here she is before:


And After:

This blue beauty went home to a nice family.

They also took home Mr. Darcy. I'll introduce you to him tomorrow.

OH my gosh! I have been emailing a lady back and forth about naming my pieces! I am sooooo not copying you! And so glad to know others do that too! She is a beauty!

Olivia said...

Aww! Thanks for naming it after me :) You know me so well. Of course my favorite part is that little key hole in the middle. So random and so perfect! This is definitely one of my faves. Love you!

That dresser is beautiful! It has such nice lines & wonderful appliques. The knobs are great, too!

Olivia is a stunner!!! I love that you name the furniture you sell. Too funny. I don't name anything. Well except for my son. Lucky for him.
