Ispiration to Perspiration

I have always loved silver leafed furniture, but didn't like the sticker-shock from seeing the prices being asked.

Paying huge prices is NEVER my style.

You see it sitting there . . .against the back wall . . . all shiny . . .BLING . . . I had to have one. Then I found these . . 

and the finish on this Ballard Designs lamp . . .YUMMO

 Then there was this . . .

BINGO

I had this little dressing table, bought about 8 years ago from ABC Distributing for about $50.

 

You can just see it in the corner :)

With a little of these two friends . . .

 I got this! I LOVE it and what's better, my young-adult daughter LOVES it! What say you?
