I had no intention's to buy anything at Ross last week...they were having a clearance sale...I found this cute little chest for $35.... at one time sold for $149.... hard to believe.....and thought it would be cute painted.....
Well the more I looked at it the more it grew on me......
It had a lot of dings and nicks...so I put a little scratch cover on the dings
and nicks and am living with it.....
I think I really like it....this is really shabby chic.....everything else is very light in that room and this kinda grounds things....
what do you think ?????

I also found this picture frame made out of tin at Tuesday Morning....

this store is in Orinda which is about 40 minutes
away so I do not get there very often...
I guess that is a good thing.....
I put a picture of a rose I found on a napkin and put some roses on it now it is one of my favorites....

okay, you are up late, i'm up late. good grief. i need to get to sleep. having too much fun checking out blogs that's why. lol! you got lucky with your finds there. the roses are pretty and keeping the chest dark seems to work for now. now i need to go to sleep, see i'm too lazy to use the shift key now. yawnnn....see you later.
Hey Mo!
I love Ross and Tuesday Morning store too...I live approximately an hour from those stores though, so I don't get to go that often, but when I do, I always find something good! I love this chest you found...I think it has a romantic shabby chic-ness to it and it really makes everthing around it pop...I love the contrast of the dark with the light here....it's perfect with all of your pretties....you did great girl!

I agree, sometime we need a little contrast...But the way you display it...is beautiful.
Many Blessings, Virginia
Oh...my...I love the chest just the way it is!!! It's beautiful and what a bargain, too!!
The picture frame is so pretty!!
Hey Mo!
Thanks so much for stopping over and for your encouragement...you and the other girls really made me feel better. I appreciate you. I don't see their blog on your blog list, I checked for ya. Hope you have a great afternoon.
xoxo.

I love that chest. I can't imagine painting it, though. You would cover the beautiful roses on the front (unless there's a way to do it without covering the roses). The picture frame is gorgeous too. You did great!
Oh WOW Mo what a great find . I wouldn't have the guts to paint it ! I love it like it is.
Hi Mo ~smile~
ur chest is just fab. I would never paint it...ever. It's fab just the way it is.
Love & Prayers,

Hi Mo, you hit the jackpot at Ross. That chest looks great with all your pretty decor.
You're invited to a Great Gift Ideas party at windycorner. Come on over!

Love the little chest and the picture frame. When I was in Fl. there were Ross stores and now back in Ohio......I miss them. You have found wonderful treasures.
Oh Mo, I love the chest just as it is. I wouldn't change it at all. The beauty is in the design and I think you should keep that. I love the picture frame , too. And all the roses, and everything! Don't change it, it's beautiful!
