Usually when I wish hard enough for something, I'm bound to find it. I had been looking for a metal cart. Kind of like a plant metal cart. Well, I found one at a garage sale along with other wonderful items.
I just knew that the cart would look perfect holding wire baskets filled with my favorite magazines. Wire baskets are another weakness of mine, but that's another blog post. In order to fit the cart in "my" room, I needed to rearrange some things and purge a few things. I decided to get rid of the blue stand that held some yarn and magazines and another corner stand. But, the dress form stays exactly where it was. I even left the floral wreath on it.
There is so much more room on my floors now. Easier to dust too! I like the original wood patina on most of my furniture. Even with the scratches and chips, I like this dresser as is. I use it to store my hankey and embroidered pillowcase collections.
The little black cart on the other side of the dress form is also from a garage sale years ago. Another piece that I'm not parting with. I have displayed so many items on it. I change it up often. The skeins of yarn are in the basket underneath and the metal truck was a flea market find. I'm super happy with how it turned out. All because of a one item purchase.
Something I realized while putting this all together is that sometimes ideas need a little help. This site might be some help. I haven't used it myself but it seems to have some great resources and ideas with a long list of designers to choose from. Let me know if you use them and how you benefited from the ideas/experience.
Happy treasure hunting!
