Holy cow, Gloria, that is the biggest bellows I think I've ever seen! Don't you snag your leg on the spout/blowy part?
You did such a good job making that into a table. Do I see cup holder insets there?
Justine :o )
P.S. How is Kyra?
What a great piece!
What a great way to re-purpose something and make it even better!!
It looks great Gloria!!
Yeah for AI tonight - I'll be all cozied up - the only thing missing will be my partner in crime - Meghan. She left to go back to school yesterday!!
I think this marriage was made in "decorator heaven". What a wonderful use for two such disparate items. You really have imagination, Gloria. Kudos to you for your vision.
I like it naked! What a terrific idea. When your finished with your house cleaning, come visit me!
Good Morning Gloria! Wow! I have never seen a Bellows that big before! Very unique idea! and I was laughing about your little extra affairs with TWO MEN! hussy! :) In your pink saturdays post, I was in awe over your G.Grandma's shoes & the wedding dress. How special that is! I love the pink settee & little chair. Those are just beautiful!! So romantic...sigh...:) Everything looks just wonderful. Have a great day! ~ Laurie
Hey Girlfriend...
Just stoppin' by with big hugs and smooches for you...been missing you!!! Cleaning...yuk!!! Oh shoot, I need to be doing that myself but right now the act seems fruitless! I get things cleaned up and Russell comes home with another load of treasures from Dad's house...oh my, where am I going to put everything?
We came across an old trunk in one of Dad's homes...it had 8 different pictures in it...most of them are dated back to the late 1800's...the frames are exquisite! Some have those really old photos of the family homestead, etc. I can't wait to clean them up and hang them! Yep, I'm going to put them out...I just hate thinking about them laying in an ol' trunk!!!
Well Sweetie...don't work to hard and hurry back to us!!!
Love ya,
Chari
Hi Gloria...Oh those bellow sure do bring back memories! We had some...much smaller, of course... and my mom kept them beside the fireplace. My sister and I used them to aggravate each other! lol What a fun way to use them...very creative...Debbie
Oh, don't work too hard - it will just get dirty again!! That bellows is huge - makes a great coffee table! Take care, Sally
Well done and your things look great!
Awesome job! I love when people turn the unexpected into totally practical! GREAT POST!
Those are two men I need to make a date with, but I'm playing hard to get haha (aka lazy). What a neat idea, you are so darn creative! Glad to see you back, don't have too much fun with those scrubbing bubbles, hear? Hugs, kathy
Gloria, as always, your treasure is SO neat! I think I'd have fun playing with the coffee table if I had this. You are so clever to use it this way. I love it! Don't work too hard. Those men will wait on a beauty like you in your old red robe! laurie

They would never.. fit in my house. That is a very cool piece. Gosh, I think you should invite us all for a home tour. Luv Ya!! Terrie
Hi Gloria,
Your comment about the 'men' made me laugh. There does not seem to be enough time in the day does it?
Love the coffee table. Thanks for linking to Trash to Treasure!
I'm tagging you. Come by my blog, if you want to play along!
That's a great treasure, Gloria, and it's huge, too :o) In it's nekkid state, it reminds me of an aardvark (which, you have to admit, is a much cooler word than anteater, huh?).
Have a great week!
Victoria :o)
Gloria! That is so neat! You have the most unique things, and I love seeing them!
XO,
Sheila :-)
What a special coffee table!
~WOW~ Gloria this came out so cool! I love it!
I'd love to se the whole room. I spy a gorgeous leather sofa.
Don't ja just love scrubbing bubbles?
I actually really do. LOL!
I'm a bit of a clean freak.
You're so creative! Hmmm, how about a LONG TOUR of the BARN??? You got some very interesting stuff stored away in there... ♥
What a clever use for such a unique piece!
Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments...yes, sometimes I do have trouble finding purple tabletop items...in the shades of purple that I like anyway!
Thanks for signing up for the newsletter...let me know what you think!
Happy cleaning... ;D
