Its hard to grasp the scale of this recent addition to our house. this armoire is a bit over 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Even friends who have seen photos and then see it in person say - holy cow. It may be my most favorite piece yet and was purchased at auction by my husband for a mere $100. Of course it cost me $150 to move it, but still a small price to pay for this bohemeth vintage lovely. The wood alone is worth that ! It was bugging brad how they stripped wood from it in sections - and I had been wanting to do something with the vintage cow tags I had him buy me at a farm auction years ago. So i started slapping the cow tags on the door. That seemed to disuade his distaste of that stripped door front next to the white one. This piece houses our tv equipment, my computer, fax machine and many files. Its a mini office space and I love it ! My collection of various fat chickens and roosters sits atop it... I have my eye on a great folk art wooden one at a mexican restaraunt in atlanta to go in the remaining vacancy on the top right. On either side of this are another of my favorites. When I was planning our reception i took this photo of brad's old 2 cylinder john deere that i wanted to have made in to stickers to use to address the invitations to our receiption. I needed it manipulated to match my red bandana color scheme so my friend cathryn simmons doctor it in photoshop. she and her partner lori created these 2 painting as wedding gifts to us and i treasure them.
Al is sitting next to my chicken coop i use as a makeshift fireplace screen, only because i haven't put the industrial wheels on it to make it into the coffee table i want just yet.
