New arrivals at Polly Ann's...

We've been working hard in our workshop to clear out some of the projects so we can move in a storage shed full of fresh stuff to work on... here are some of the results...

sweet little red shelf... just the right size

This blue cabinet was a built in kitchen cupboard out of a sweet little cottage in Cedar Rapids.  It originally had a base cabinet that it was free mounted above, but we made it into a little more of a free-standing variety with space underneath for pet bowl and storage.  Wainscotting on the back and some sweet oilcloth on the shelves... the outside needs a coat of paint...

Another quick, sweet little shelf.  This one with a new back.  It's a great size and a great look in a soft aqua...

I absolutely love how this turned out... Bobby put a new top on it as it was just an opening and wainscotting in the back.  I white washed the outside and made a quick set of cafe curtains with tie backs to spruce it up...

I filled it up with dolls and sweetness and it's sitting atop a french candy makers table with a glass top... I made a matching scarf... Love the little doll dresser on top...

Here's the 6 footer.  I love how the legs turned out... such character.  This is the last one he will be making for a few weeks.  We have another project coming to the workshop.  If you have been thinking about one of his tables, get your order in NOW as he is just about out of materials...

This is a sweet little bench that Bobby refurbished for me.  Where we found it, there was another board sitting close by... one leg was totally rotted off, so we used the other board to make a new one.  He also had to replace the support board in the back... it looks great... a fun primitive piece...

This is one of the projects going on in the workshop now... I plan to white-wash it and recover it.  My fabric stash has too many fantastic choices, so I haven't yet decided which way to go... any suggestions???

This pink paint I found at the hardware store in the "Miss-Mix" pile.  It's REALLY bright pink, but both of my daughters had a minor panic attack when they saw it.  I asked if that was good or bad and they both said "good"... would be great in a "tweener" room or for that girly girl out on her own for the first time... 

All I have to figure out now, is how to get the space under the dropfront to quit sticking to itself and peeling... as soon as I get it right, it, too will make it upstairs to the shop...

always interesting...

Polly Ann's... because there's no place like home...
