Ugly ducklings and transformers...

Don't you just love lil' smoking stands...
they can be used for so many things in so many places,
petite and sweet in a new coat of white paint...

...and what ever possessed them to paint things
baby poo brown!!!
was it supposed to look like oak woods when the piece
was chipped and stained from time...ewwww...if they only knew...

This cute lil' piece still has its metal lining to keep the tobacco fresh...
do people still smoke???

Remember these two pieces from the other day,
all crisp and white, now with their fresh coats of white,
they're ready to sit in your parlor reflecting the light of Spring...
it creeps ever so close!

I wasn't sure if I was going to put a wash over the tops of these pieces
to give them a weathered look, but decided to leave them alone,
as Brandon and I are playing in the hallway upstairs at Sisters' Friday,
bringing in the Spring and a change to the entrance of our rooms.

This sweet oval frame will also reflect the season we all
anxiously await...and thanks Country Living
for telling us white is still QUEEN!!!
