I left you with a big tease on Friday, I'm sure you would have never guessed my
new purchase is a secretary! I found it on Craigslist on Thursday, emailed the seller
immediately saying I'd like to buy it sight unseen and she delivered it on Sunday.
Believe it or not, we don't have a good vehicle for hauling furniture, so I always
negotiate delivery, like this...in the past I've purchased some items and the sellers have
been willing to deliver if I pay full asking price, would you be interested in doing that?
I know exactly what I'm going to do with it. I should clarify, I know exactly what color
I'm painting it, and I have no clue what I'm going to do with it...crazy, I know!
But look at it, I couldn't resist those quatrefoils, won't they make a gorgeous statement?
I've had this black secretary pinned to my Pinterest 'Furniture Projects' board for awhile.
I was completely smitten the first time I saw it, it's my inspiration for the makeover.

I've got almost all of it primed, and am excited a spring snowstorm is in the
forecast, I'm hoping to be stranded at home with my Rustoleum & Purdy! :)

Looking forward to seeing the finished project. Call me inspired.
It's gorgeous! What a good find, can't wait to see what you do with it!
Oh it so pretty! I can totally understand why you bought it! Can't wait to see it finished.
Gorgeous! So excited for the outcome :)
I love the inspiration shot, it was my favorite from the post last week. You will perform your magic on the new secretary as you always do. You are the BEST shopper! Have fun paining, we are finally receiving warm temps so enjoying working in the yard but if you are getting snow, that may be coming my way soon!
Beautiful piece...can't wait to see her finished!
Hope you'll come share on AMAZE ME MONDAY's party!
Blessings,

Look at you! It's like secretaries week over here at your blog, Pam! : ) What a great find! I would pay full price {if I thought it was fair} to have something big like this delivered. I love these pieces and wish I had room for one here at our condo.
What a great find! It will look amazing painted black. (I assume you will paint it black, like the one you pinned!) :)
It sounds like a big painting job...but I know you will rise to the occasion. I can't wait to see the end result!

You go girl, you sure work fast! I have been working on a painting project and it is taking FOREVER! That is sure a great piece and will be magnificent when you are finished with it!
Fabulous find! I can't wait to see you transform it. I have never negotiated to have something delivered, but that's a great idea. I love Craigslist too!
ooh yes! what a score- it is awesome!
A great purchase, Pam! I am sure you will work your magic on it. Cannot wait to see the results!
Yay - a new project - so exciting!! LOVE the quatrefoil design, my parents in law's hutch has that too, such a great detail. Can't wait to see this in a fresh coat of paint!!
This will be one of the finest to date. You have such a great "eye" the transformation!
Lucky you! That thing is gorgeous!
Oooooh, it's gonna be good! Love the design of the piece and can't wait to see what fun hardware you use to transform it!
It is a beauty. What a great tip on negotiating delivery. Can't wait to see it!
I heard about the snow forecast ~ you should have a fun time getting this piece done. I love the design and can't wait to see the finished product!

I agree Pam, it is gorgeous! I wouldn't be able to sleep if I saw that piece and didn't cll! Can't wait to see it all "shiny and new" again!
Gorgeous Pam! Have fun with this:) It's amazing what you can find on Craig's List!
I can't wait to see it all finished!
Girl you are a trip! I love your CL find and you are pretty smart about the whole delivery thing too. I'm looking forward to it and all it's shinny glory! Are you spraying or brushing??
Can't wait to see how it comes out :)
I can only imagine how fabulous this is going to be!
Wow...I know you will be transforming that into a true thing of beauty!!...
Omg...totally looked seriously at this ad on Craigslist! How funny to see you bought it! The quatrafoils MAKE it don't they? Can't wait to see you transform this beauty!,
Wow - it is amazing! Can't wait to see it madeover!
Love, love, love it! Lucky duck.
Great find! I love the quatrefoil design on the doors, too! Love your inspiration for it. It will be stunning!
Oohlala. Love the detail on the glass. Hope the snow storm treated you well :)
