Sheet Music Dresser

The day I saw this dresser I fell in love.

If you have never seen Marian’s blog, MissMustardSeed, you are in for a wonderful surprise.  She is such a talented designer of  furniture and beautiful handmade accessories and decorations.  She writes the most informative posts, shares her real self, good or bad and just draws you in to her wonderful personality.  She is so inspiring, her blog is one of my favorite daily reads.

I had been drooling over this dresser on Marian’s blog.  So one day I decided to email her and tell her that I would love to buy the dresser if she ever wanted to part with it.  I was so surprised when she emailed me back and said it was for sale.  Yahoo!  But dang, I live in CA and she lives in PA.  Shipping it here could get expensive.  But the thrifty shopper that Marian is, she came up with a very reasonable way to get it to me.  Greyhound!  Well, ok I am up for that!  She wrapped it up in tons of cardboard and plastic wrap and drove a long way to the Greyhound station to send it to me in Cailfornia.  It took a week, but it came in perfect condition, and it was even more beautiful in person.  I had a perfect spot where I wanted to put it, in our guest house in one of the bedrooms.  The problem was, my daughter and her husband were staying in our guest house while they were looking for a home to buy.  There was no room for the dresser until they moved out.  So, for the time being, the only holding spot I had was in my office.  It was so beautiful in my office, but it was a tad too long for the wall, otherwise I would of kept it in there.  This was all the way back in July I when I bought it.  ...continue to full post
