Trashy Tuesday, Getting Dumped is Delightful

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Garbage is dumped, furniture is too.

Trashy Tuesday week August 4 redouxitneriors.com

Who likes to be dumped?  Well no one, not in the break up sense of the word.That most definitely is not delightful. However, in the world of Redouxers, getting dumped can be delightful!  If it weren’t for all the wonderful things that are dumped, we wouldn’t be having so much fun around here.  (And my garage and side yard would look a whole lot better).

Getting Dumped is not always a bad thing….Why would anyone dump this table?  Dumping line:  This relationship has become more work than it is worth……

Sure it’s greasy on top, but hey, has anyone ever heard of a cleaner?  Apparently some people just dump and move on when they get tired of their relationship with their furniture and the relationship actually requires some work!

I just don’t think we are the right fit for each other anymore and I need to be free of this partnership……..

Just like the Dresser that dumped its drawers, I have another sad case on my hands.  Won’t it look amazing as a dresser turned bookshelf, painted with some of my favorite CeCe Caldwell’s paints, like I have done Here and Here?

I need to find myself, and I just can’t do that with you, you are broken and you need to find yourself too.  

Poor table, first it got a broken foot, then it was unceremoniously dumped.  Then I had to go hunting for its missing body part.  Lucky me, the foot and table will soon be together again.  Reunited and it feels so good.  (tell me if you caught this….I will know you are of a certain age)

It’s not you, it’s me.  And I have outgrown this relationship and I am not worthy of you…….

This desk was a curbside find and a perfect case of someone who felt not worthy of it anymore (or was at least using this an excuse).  All the drawers were nicely taped shut and even a piece of protective wood was placed over the top.  Obviously someone had a guilt complex about this dumping because they wanted to do the dumping gently and not as harsh as being kicked to the curb.

I don’t want to hold you back, you have so much more potential than what I am capable of giving you…..

This Buffet was not dumped!  It was given to me by a good friend, who is just moving on…..Lucky me!  

Thanks for coming by Trashy Tuesday where getting Dumped can be delightful!

Hope you have a totally Trashy week.

      My friend is so sweet, she is from New York and has tons of beautiful things. They are down sizing and she is being really generous! I don’t find things like that buffet on the West Coast unless it costs a fortune, and that is before the makeover!

    Love your idea about having a relationship with furniture – that’s how I feel about ours. I have pieces with “issues” from my great-grandmother, grandmother, and parents – hard to part with them. Thanks for the ideas!

    What Wonderful treasured pieces to work with.
    That buffet almost matches the one I have which goes with my dining room table. About the only difference is; I have one deep drawer and a silverware drawer instead of the 3 drawers.
    Can’t wait to see your buffet make over.

    The benefits of martial arts are not just the self
    defense aspects of it but the physical conditioning that goes with taking classes.

    You could definitely see your enthusiasm within the article you write.
    The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid to mention how they
    believe. At all times follow your heart.

    Learning any form, no matter how obscure or popular can transcend the self-defense world and start to permeate
    into the real world. A lot of Kung Fu students in China choose
    to study one of these arts as well, as it helps to add to their physical and emotional power.

    If you want to learn martial arts go to an established dojo
    that has years of experience who have links back to the hombu.
