Thrifty Cabinet

Hope all of my Bloggy Buddies are having a great weekend. I did not go to any yard sales this weekend...Yeah I know....Can you believe it, not even one! But I still managed to get a terrific bargain that I am going to share with you.

My friend had this beautiful cabinet that I loved and I had a cabinet that she loved too. Sorry, I don't have a pic of my cabinet...but it was an armoire that was built in the late 1800's that I have had about 5 years. I loved it, but wanted to go a different direction and had in mind what I wanted. The new cabinet is a beautiful blue color, but sadly it doesn't match the colors in my living room....so it will be painted white and distressed. I might paint the inside a different color. I have some ironstone pieces I want to display in the new cabinet along with some quilts and other treasures and I think they will display better if I paint the inside a new color. And the best part....we traded cabinets......straight across.......free!

Here's my new love.....

Don't you just love her?? I love the wire mesh on the doors, so cottagey/farmhouse/rustic. I'm excited to get her painted and filled with treasures.

Oh, speaking of treasures.......My friends Marilyn & Art are having their sale Gatherings at the School on August 6th & 7th. Click on the Link for more info. Lot's of fabulous treasures, shabby chic, garden items, antiques, rusty chippy treasures, unique items and so much more. You won't be disappointed.
