Someone's trash could be a treasure!

Trash picking, dumpster diving, yelling "stop the car", I've done it all. So much, that my husband cringes when he spies a piece of furniture on the side of the road. He hopes I won't see it.  But the funny thing is, is that he is the one that brought home the piece you see above.  It sat in our cellar for quite a while. I think it was actually part of cabinets that were in a kitchen. It was the perfect piece that I was looking for!

I had been wanting an old bureau to plant flowers in. This has been something I've wanted to do for a while and I love the way it came out. The piece is in pretty bad shape but is perfect for this. It was painted the green and somewhat distressed. So I asked my husband to really sand it, take it right down to the wood in some places. You can tell it's been painted a couple of times - there is even a pale pink that shows through on the sides!

All I had to do was add flowers - I even left the flowers in the pots they came in - so easy and so pretty.
