In the past 8 years I have moved seven times. Seven. I guess I was restless. I started with my first ever apartment in Bedford Hills NY with who would end up my fiancee` at the time. Then to White Plains, NY then to a house that we bought together after getting married. Sadly, divorce split us up and I moved again to a new apartment--a tiny studio back in Bedford. And then back to the house in Carmel while waiting to sell it. And then back to a third apartment in Bedford. And now...here. My home.
I didn't realize how unsettled I had become and how much of an emotional toll that kind of wandering took on me. With so much moving I didn't amass many possessions. I didn't like holding onto anything for too long because I knew what a strain it would be to pack it up.
But now I feel settled. And in my new home where I've lived for two years I have a few items that have travelled with me from the beginning. Like this little sideboard. My mom found it at a tag sale, much worse for the wear. She brought it home and she and my dad worked to refinish it, strip and polish the hardwear and give it a fresh coat of paint inside and out. I think it may have cost $10.
It is one of my favorite things.

Oh, wow... I don't know how you moved so many times. I'd die. Glad you're settled now... this piece is great. I love finds like this, and they always seem to last the longest. This little corner looks so fresh and homey.
It's a great find! $10. Wow.
That's so odd. I was just thinking how I've moved 7 times in the past 8 years as well. And I wonder why I've been so unsettled... Twins!
I love the paint color.
I've moved about the same amount, and you're so right . . . it does take its toll. There's nothing like the feeling of a "home."
And great find with the $10 sideboard!
the sideboard is great! Hope you are felling settled now after all your moves, we have done three in seven years which was more than enough!
: )
I'm glad you feel settled. I moved 3 times in two years, with one being only 8 months apart... it took me a year to feel "safe" to start decorating!
