The Barlo

A good friend of my mother's gave this piece of furniture to me and my business partner.  We had plans to re-style and then sell, but could not decide on a color.  My Mother passed away recently after a long battle with cancer.  It was and has been heartbreaking.  But, I love to think of her with my Dad walking on the beach in the sun and of course dancing.  One of her favorite colors was yellow, so when yellow popped into my head one day, I decided to trust my instincts and go with it. So glad I did! It took three shades of paint to give it the depth and intensity of color that I wanted.  Along with the sanding and distressing the top is now smooth as glass.  I am not sure how old this is, but I was thinking 1920's?  Does anyone know?

I re-edited one of my favorite photos with Picmonkey.  It is soon to take the place of picnik in my heart.
I think it may be even better!  More creative options even!  And for now it's free!  Check it out.
