One of the favorites in my house is this picture of my grandpa (one on the right) as a boy fishing. He passed away when I was in 5th grade and I just love looking at this picture:
the mountains of Canada in the background, the river, the fish, the basket, I think it looks like a picture out of a River Runs Through It, don't you think? I would love to play around in photoshop with it and get a big print of it someday.
The next pieces are in my girls room: I got this bedroom set from my great-grandma because I was the first great-grand daughter on my dad's side. She had it for her daughter, Thelma when she was little, so it was built in the 1930's or 40's. I had it in my room when I was little, then my younger sisters did, and now we have it again for my daughters. I love it and have so many memories at that little vanity. :) The plan is to tackle my girls' bedroom next, and I'm not quite sure what to do with this set.
I love the detail, but they're in pretty rough shape as far as the paint goes,
but I'm afraid to strip it if it's lead paint. So, I guess my first step would be to see if the paint has lead in it and then go from there? Have any of you worked with a piece like this? I would love to hear any tips you have...I would love to give them some new life.
Have a great weekend!
