finally, it’s mine…

i want it the minute i laid eyes on it.  i absolutely adore this and after deliberating over a weekend, my other half  finally nodded. here it is… the first time i saw it.

this 60′s vintage vanity reminded me of late mom. it is almost a complete replica of hers. this one was rehab with red drawers instead of the original beige, and i loveeeee it with all the ‘perfect imperfections’ -  the slight crack, missing parts, stained mirror.

 it’s now standing proudly at a corner of my room, together with my ‘new’ antique standing lamp and retro foot stool (which i am using temporary as a dresser stool for now) .

mom and me.

 ”i missed you mom, till we meet again…God bless!”
