Such a lovely repurposed piece Jackie! Great colors and they work so well together with the Bee motif :-)!

What an amazing transformation - from roadside junk to French Provencale corner storage!

Jackie you are talent with a capital T my friend this is just amazing ,thanks for sharing ....
Jackie....this is absolutely ADORABLE! What a great new life you have given to this piece of discarded furniture! It's just amazing! I can just feel that little corner cabinet saying "thank you!". You did a fantastic job on it, Jackie and I'm so happy that you shared your process with all of us. Your end result is just as you said....standing back and admiring your beautiful new piece of furniture! LOVE IT!
This is certainly a "Jackie One of a Kind." Love that you found the piece at the road side. I bet the owners wish they had it back now. This truly showcases your talents.
Fantastic make over Jackie, and what a super find! Love the transformation you have achieved and it makes the perfect setting for your vintage ladies, triptych! Love the bee theme and such great colours!
Wow Jackie, what an amazing transformation! I just love the gold and those bees are so amazing! The damask elements are very regal and elegant, like it came straight from an old castle! Love it! hugs :)
My roadside never has good scores like this! And Bit of Honey was never my favorite in the Trick or Treat bucket, but your honey of a project is wonderful! LOVE the stenciling, and love the ladies inside! Grand job!
Wow! What a transformation you worked on that roadside find! I love it! The colours are so warm and the honey bee theme is one of my favourites! I just love bees. I can almost hear their comforting, summery buzz so reminiscent of lazy summer days. I really admire your ability to create something beautiful from what others throw away. xx
Hi my dear, I do believe you did the Bees well on this piece. You worked hard on it and it shows. A piece of art I hope you are displaying it in a great place. Way to go girlfriend oxxooxo
Girl you are THE Dumpsta' Diva! Ha! Ha! Some of my favorite treasures have been curbside finds! Well done on the bee-u-tiful piece of fine furniture. wow! This must have taken forever to get all that stenciling and texture pasting done! Not to mention the painted shelves and whitewashing! What a treasure you have here! PS I'm saving all my Bit-O-Honeys from my treat bag for you this Halloween! Tee Hee! Hugs!
Beautiful project! Love the stenciled detail! What an amazing transformation!
What a great project Jackie!
I wanted to let you know, I've been given a Liebster award, and have decided to give one to you now, as well! http://thefarpavilion.com/2015/08/12/the-liebster-award-ive-been-given-one/ thanks for all your support!
Just playing catch-up to find this wonderful piece, Jackie - you've outdone yourself. Love the honeycomb effect and the all-over cohesion in this piece. Beautifully done!
wish I'd find a cornercabinet at the roadside ;-) You made something wonderful out of it Jackie! Love seeing all the different steps, and those bees are so real!
Jackie this is fantastic make over! I also love your previous mixed media projects...your art is always very creative...I am sorry to not have more free time to visit you more often!
Hugs from Slovenia
What a wonderful makeover Jackie! WOW! Looks great!
What an extraordinary makeover - you've created a stunning honeybee homage out of that ugly old shelf unit. I love the baroque stencilling on the back walls, and the golden honeycomb texture on the front. Fantastic work with the bee transfers too - it really is fabulous, Jackie!

The corner cabinet and the bee details are adorable! And your vegetable stand is pretty amazing too. Thanks for your comments over at my site. Waving to you from the west coast.
I notice you have a Community Thrive button. I too am part of this group and met Pia over there. ~Lisa
