Hardware...the earrings and necklaces of furniture....

One thing I adore about vintage furniture is the hardware...When at an auction or estate sale don't look past the pieces that are damaged or in terrible shape....remember--check out the hardware..you can pick up some great vintage hardware really cheap off damaged furniture....Funny story--at a recent estate sale I was digging thru an old dirty garage that had some water damaged furniture stored away in the back corner....I spied an old dresser that everyone else looked beyond...There were 2 men in the garage with me when I spied her and said wow--she has GREAT KNOBS!!  The both looked at one another and one said wow---we are glad you said that.....you might have been upset if one of us shouted that out --maybe misunderstand what we were talking about!!  We all three had a laugh....check out this awesome handle on this vintage chalk board I picked up recently....The patina one this piece is beautiful.....

Love this board! 

The color reminds me of grade school.....

 and a reminder.....my sale is right around the corner!!

and this little beauty will be there.....
