| Well, this here is my new (old) cupboard!! Isn't it perty!? I found it at the Christie Antique Show. It was love at first sight. I have been feeling the NEED to make changes within our home find ways to infuse a little more color |
 |
| Now, this here is the cupboard that my husband and I built TOGETHER last summer. I know it's story. It holds special meaning. I really needed a LARGE kitchen cupboard for our family We couldn't afford much at the time |
 |
| We already had these pine doors purchased from a yard sale for $3.00 that were taken off someones old cupboards. So we went out and bought more pine (which cost more than planned!) but we built this wonderful cupboard for our kitchen. |
 |
| I first stained it then painted it with just regular latex paint I actually mixed a few colors together that I had left over from other projects |
 |
| It was GREAT for all my spices & pantry items. |
 |
| I just loved (still love) it! I e-mailed the owner of the cupboard and asked if she still had it Or had it been sold at the antique show?? .........She still had it........... |
 |
| I decided the only way I could get that new one was to start by selling this one first! So the day came when I had to clean it out I had a tear in my eye and a knot in my stomach I didn't realize it would be so hard I guess because we built it together It meant more than I realized I DID cry as it drove away to it's new home. |
 |
| Almost a week went by before I could go get this cupboard I needed to raise more money! I sold things from my home that I had time to love for a while but could let them go. I also sewed up some of these GREAT grain sack pillows. One set I sold and the other went towards the cupboard, the woman who I was getting it from wanted them for her booth. |
    |
| I had pictured right away that I would fill it with Ironstone and Linens (which now I want more of because I had to take most of this from everywhere else) |
 |
| This exposed side has no green paint left on it I think years ago someone scraped it off. |
 |
| But THIS side is loaded with wonderful chippy green paint! Unfortunately I don't know the story of THIS cupboard. I wish I did! How old is it exactly? Who owned it? Where is it from? What stories could it tell? Ahh The BEAUTY of old! |
 |
| So here it is~starting another chapter in it's life. In it's new home. A wonderful girl gave it a lovely home. |
 |
| I think it looks wonderful and I hope she loves it. I miss it. I am really warming up to the change of having this new (old ) cupboard Do you love the change?? |
