I've been holding on to this photo for a while now...
I feel like a project might be coming on!
What do you think?
Is it doable?

About Me
- La Dolfina
- I am a passionate treasure huntress addicted to "the thrill of the hunt." I pride myself on finding unique items and have spent a lifetime collecting unusual and interesting "treasures" which I have used in decorating our home. I shop with an eye for design and look for pieces that I like to call the "jewelry" of the room. Those pieces that have been around accumulating energy thereby bringing life into a space by telling its story or evoking a memory. The allure is found in the details of its journey... condition, provenance and patina. Our collected "treasures" tell the story of who we are. Billy Baldwin said it best, "Decorating is never successful unless it is personal." My treasures are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop and on my companion blog, Shop La Dolfina. The links can be accessed from my sidebar.

It is doable, but only start the project when you really feel the enthusiasm! Then it is easier to complete, rather than being a chore.
I love this chest. Is that bamboo painted on or is it real?
It's a stunner!
Hi Terri,
The bamboo detail is painted on... isn't it cool?
Have fun, can't wait to see it.
Love it. Good luck!
They look very gorgeous and all in different designs...they are great ideas for a good home.

I think it is wonderful already! You find the best stuff! Would love to get together with you and Maryann sometime!!
Love the tone on this chest, I am painting cabinets in my kitchen white, after setting then stand for about a month I want to glaze finish them with this tone, I love this ditty tone of age oxidized whites.
You my sweet friend have save a great inspiring photo one worth being inspired by. I would have saved it as well.
