I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

A Few Paint Transformations........

ATTENTION: MY MAIN BLOG, DEBBIE-DABBLE, IS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES AND I HAVE LOST ACCESS TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE LAYOUT OF THE BLOG SO I HAVE DECIDED TO START A NEW BLOG BECAUSE I FEEL THE ISSUE WITH MY FORMER BLOG MAY NEVER BE RESOLVED.

Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

If you followed me on my other Blog, I would so appreciate it if you will follow me on this blog too!!!!
Links to where you can follow me are on the Side Bar.......

 While on Stacation last week, I was working in my former "Guest Room" , now my new "Sitting Room".

But first, I want to Thank Jillian, over at Bella Rosa Antiques, for featuring my post, Fairy Garden Projects, Part 1 from last week's Let's Talk Vintage Party!!
Thanks so much , Jillian!!

And I also want to Thank Angel, over at Sew Crafty Angel, for featuring my post, Fairy Garden  Projects and Gnomes, Part 2, from last week's Wake Up Wednesday Linky Party!!
  Thanks again, Angel and  all the hosts of Wake Up Wednesdays!!

Please stop by and link up to this great parties!!

I have been painting a few pieces of furniture and other things.......

This was how this area of my former "Guest Room" looked last year........
Here is a sneak peak of how it looks now.......
I changed out the picture that was here for a Window Mirror.......
Here is where this window mirror, purchased at a church Flea Market, was before.......
I had used it in the "Hearth" area of my fake fireplace ........

You can see that the original finish on it was stained wood......
I got out my trusty Gloss White Spray Paint and painted it white......
You may remember my Tea Cup Shelf.......
This is what it looks like now that I spray painted it.......
I think all my tea cups and saucers look better on the white shelf.......
And I also spray painted the frame on this Home Interiors Picture white, it was gold......
I was given this table by a neighbor. I forgot to take a before photo but it was a dark wood stain originally.......
I first used Kilz to seal it and then painted it with a Gloss White Valspar Paint from Lowes......
This is how this part of the room now looks......
This book case was built by my Father and several years ago, I had given it to a neighbor and now I have it back!!

This is how it looked last year.......
 And how it looks now........
 Painted Gloss White......
And I also painted this table too.......
It was in my bedroom and this is how it looked at Christmas......
And now......
I still have a few more pieces to paint like my wash stand .......
 And I also decided to paint my fake fireplace.......
So I hope you will be back to visit soon!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

  3. Debbie,
    Thanks so much for linking up your posts with us this week for Snickerdoodle Sunday! You did a great job on the furniture-the white looks lovely. I'm envious of your beautiful tea cup collection! So many pretty patterns displayed so beautifully. Makes me giggle to think of you being bored during retirement. Take care of you and Joe and have a fabulous week ahead!

  8. Oh, Debbie, what a lovely transformation the white paint made! Your teacups pop and I love your mirrored window. I am quite struck on those. Glad to see your followers are coming back to follow your blog. Have a lovely day, my friend.

    Blessings,

  9. Dear Debbie:
    I love your changing to white. I did that myself a few years back. I had the heavy dark Victorian for many years but needed a change to lighter and fresher. Enjoy!
