I was cleaning the basement this week and I uncovered a cabinet that I have had since around 1998 and it has been in storage because it needed some TLC.
My girlfriend is the one who found it first, but because she did not want to ship it ALL the way to California, she passed. As soon as she said no I said.
I WILL!
I am not exactly sure what it started out as but the cabinet took on the job of storing our liquer, UNTIL a wine bottle leaked and expanded all of the joints.
So, into storage until Mr. M. could fix it.
As you can imagine, just like any household there is always a list of things for our husbands to do.
The cabinet sits, and sits, and sits for several years.
Until today.
I brought it upstairs and got out the airnailer and I FIXED it.
Sometimes you shouldn't wait for someone else to do something when you can do it YOURSELF!
I love the hand painted flowers.
Even the inside of the door has roses painted on it.
Great chippy paint.
I just love the details.
Depending on what light you are looking at the piece it can either look aqua or green.
Now I have to figure out where I want to put it.
I am going to share my found treasure at Show and Tell Friday with Cindy from My Romantic Home and Furniture Feature Friday with Miss Mustard Seed Creations.
I can't believe it is Friday already, have a wonderful weekend!
I really love your cabinet! What a treasure! The colors and floral painting are fabulous! Saw you over at Show & Tell Friday :)

ReplyDeleteThe cabinet is beautiful. Could it have been a sheet music cabinet in it's first life? I think that is what they are called. They are normally about 24 inches wide with a cabinet door and then they would have had shelves in it to hold to music pages. Just a thought. Either way it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteoh, that would be my favorite too!!!
