She was screaming "make me pretty"

Ok fellow vintage painters, did you ever come across an old piece that was just sitting in a corner of some thrift store or some yard sale. I came across a truly vintage piece sitting in the back corner buried under other furniture. Still solid in her bones but a little tattered on the outside screaming "make me pretty - please".  Does it excite you to envision what this ugly duckling can become, a beautiful swan. She had her original crystal knobs and roller feet.  I decided to dress her up with Annie Sloan's Old White and French Linen. Oh did I mention I added a few stripes for fun. Take a peek - now she's ready to make an appearance, stripes and all.
