Shameless Promotion

I thought I would add a few pictures of items I have up this week on eBay.

It’s great to be back after a lengthy maternity leave.

Kitchen Rehab

After selling my boyfriend’s Victorian 4-story home in the Tower Grove area of St. Louis, we purchased a 1950’s ranch in Crestwood. I was 8 months pregnant and living in a hotel while looking for our dream ranch. We found our house the day it came on the market and offered full price and in “as-is” condition including all the contents. In total desperation to have the house complete before my due date, we had an estate sale a week later to remove everything from the previous hoarder-owner. Once everything was sold, donated and cleaned-out, rehab began. The kitchen was one of my favorite projects.

We left the original yellow color on the inside. I love how it turned out.

Yup, that’s a trash can on the left. My boyfriend insists on keeping it even though it takes up a ridiculous amount of space and is directly in front of the pantry. Pretty neat-o though, I must say.
