It may be the last day of September, but beyond the hill awaits further adventures.

Are you looking forward to October? For sure, I am. Love that cozy feeling as days begin to turn cooler. The scents and sounds of crackling bonfires. Plump pumpkins amid towering corn stalks. And then there's "All Hallow's Eve"!

Okay, getting in the mood. Time to reread Ray Bradbury and classic horror stories and watch spooky movies. Three movies in particular come to mind. For instance, 1961 'The Innocents' based on Henry James Turn of the Screw with Deborah Kerr; and 'The Haunting' with Julie Harris; also 1977 'Full Circle' aka 'The Haunting of Julia' with Mia Farrow. Goosebumps anyone?

Be good people!

Cheers,
June

UPDATE: Within a few hours after listing this desk in our shop at Chairish - the desk has SOLD! Once a seller's item has sold, Chairish deletes listing. And since you'll no longer be able to see this lovely item on Chairish, you can view a VIDEO showcasing makeover progression over on my Instagram gallery feed by clicking June's Instagram link located on the sidebar.

As of today, another gorgeous piece of furniture now available at Bell & Finch Studio Shop! Discovered through an antique dealer, it was originally in very bad shape with damaged veneer on the top surface, wobbly structure, thick varnish layers, etc. After restoring and applying carved backside centerpiece and vertical slats for added structural support, surfaces received several layers of colors and distressing using my own custom chalk paint recipe. Afterward, I decided to add freehand painted motifs to add more interest to the piece. The inside was handpainted with motif border including a removable custom drawer liner. If I'd had more room in my house, it would have stayed!

Cheers,
