31 Days of The Book of Proverbs

I've decided to take on the 31 Days of Change committment that I read about over at Nesting Place.  I was preparing this post with a completely different topic and then this idea just popped into my head.  It fits so nicely too.  You know, 31 chapters, 31 days.  I think God is trying to stretch me and grow me.  This whole exercise seems like perfect timing in my world.  I'm getting ready to travel for my work for the next six weeks, so I won't be able to work on my furniture makeovers and post about them like I've been doing.  Originally I thought I would talk about 31 days of discovering new blogs.  Which I still think would be a fun endeavor.  Maybe I'll still do the discovering, but just not write about it.


I'm excited to venture out and read what my fellow blogging friends write about during this time!  I hope you will come visit me during this journey as well.  Thanks for stopping by.  


Until tomorrow...........
(Day 1 will be up in the afternoon of 10/1/2011)  I got a little slow start to this, but I hope to get ahead for future postings.  So see you a little later today!


My 31 Days are all linked here one day at a time.
Day 1 - Chapter 1
Day 2 - Pursuit of Wisdom
Day 3 - Trusting in God
Day 4 - A Father's Instruction
Day 5 - Avoid Immorality
Day 7 - Treasure His Commands
Day 8 - Wisdom's Call
Day 9 - Wisdom's Invitation

Art Deco?

I'm not really sure if these two pieces are what's considered Art Deco.  But, I believe that's what they are called.  I was really excited when I picked these up for a great price.  But then I've been stumped as to what to do with them.  So I thought I'd put it out there for all my blogland friends to help me with some ideas.  I'm not sure how many will actually read this, but it's worth a try.  Without further ado.......here they are:

Lots of great details that will pop with the right treatment!

Just a little close up of some of the details.

This vanity has wood wheels.  How cool is that!

Should I try to save the design painted on the drawers?

I was thinking these might be my first Annie Sloan Chalk Paint projects, since I really don't want to sand and prime these babies!  What do you think?  Also, should I cut the back board off the vanity and leave it as is, or should I put a mirror there?  What do you think of the drawers with the design already painted on it?  Should I try to preserve that somehow?  The details on the trim and legs really need to be highlighted.  I'm not sure if just distressing will do the trick, or if I should try some other technique like goldleaf?  I'm sure there are other questions I should ask, but that's all I've got for now.

So put on your creative thinking caps and give me some feedback friends!  Thanks for your help.

Ready......Set.......GO!
