Yeah, she’s flashy, splashy, sassy, and a little classy. She makes me smile.

She makes my customers smile. That’s the highest compliment I can get.
She doesn’t photograph well. I know it’s me. I’ve said before, I’m not a photographer.  But, it always seems that my favorite furniture makeovers are the least photogenic. Makes me crazy!

Aqua blue as basecoat and my favorite citrusy green as the topcoat.

I took her to the shop Friday and Sara suggested we leave her on the dock at the front entrance to You Never Know.  Lots of people came by and paid her compliments. Jennifer snapped her up before lunchtime.
She made Jennifer smile too.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
