It's So Hard To Say Goodbye...

I have the Boyz II Men song stuck in my head because this little lady went to her new home today.

I've had this piece hanging around for a while now.  I wasn't very diligent in posting it for sale, and surprisingly she came home with us last week after our show.  Needing room in my basement to move on to other projects, I needed stuff to move and posted her for sale again last week. 

Named after my favorite Golden Girl, Blanche and I have history.  I picked her up last fall with visions of using her in place of a corner table we have now in our living room.  I had her in the basement just waiting for Spray Paint Weather so we could dress her up.  But then I got bored and antsy and we had some leftover coral paint from our bathroom so I painted her by hand. 

I painted her while I was home with the flu for a week.  And then my fever broke and I realized I probably shouldn't paint while I have the flu as I was delirious and high on meds, so I had to sand her and give her another coat.  But she complied and was a gorgeous finished product.  

I guess she hung around so long I never thought she'd leave.  She went home with a pretty cool 20-something girl who drove all the way from Arlington in rush-hour traffic (it only took her 45 minutes!) to pick her up.  She'll have a good life ahead of her; a life full of drunken debauchery and a hang-over or two.  She'll flirt with boys, and make out with coffee tables.  It's the life Blanche deserves.  

I'm getting emotional over furniture.

So long Blanche, use protection.
