Some dear friends of ours are in the middle of adopting a precious little girl with special needs from China, and this antique chest is being auctioned off to help raise money for their cause. So - to all of my followers out there... bid, bid, bid!!! :-)
This is an antique chest made of solid cherry, with four dovetailed drawers that work beautifully. Each drawer has the original antique hardware, and there's a hidden pull-out shelf at the top of the piece - perfect for extra display space or as a writing area. This chest would be lovely as a smaller buffet in a dining room, as a desk in a child's bedroom, as a foyer piece, or as an end table with storage. It's been painted Duck Egg Blue and given a distressed finish, with clear wax for durability. Measurements are 30'' long x 31'' tall x 16'' deep. Starting bid is $75.
To place a bid, click on the picture of the chest in the auction photo album, and put your bid in the comment section under the picture. The silent auction ends July 26th at 9pm.
So, come on folks - head on over to the auction and bid! :-)

** UPDATE: This piece sold at the silent auction for $250. Thanks to everyone who bid on this chest!
Tried to go to the Facebook page to place a bid on this piece, but didnt see the picture. Wasn't sure what the bids were at now, but still interested in placing a bid. Love this story and what the money will be going to! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay! Thanks so much for your interest! I just spoke with the owner of the auction page - she is going to be posting the photos of the chest on the auction site tonight, and you'll be able to bid on it then. I was excited about the chest and got a little ahead of her. :-) So check back on the auction site first thing in the morning, and you'll be able to place your bid. Thanks again Lindsay! I know they appreciate it so much.
DeleteHi again Lindsay - the chest is live on the auction page now, so you'll be able to bid. Best of luck! :-)
DeleteHi Beth - I wasn't able to leave a comment on the picture but saw that there was a bid for $80... I would like to bid $100 for the chest. Didnt know if I could just let you know that on here or what would be easier. Thanks!! :)
