Something Old, Something New...

We received some wonderful wedding gifts during our engagement and wedding but some of my favorite gifts are my China and Crystal. I LOVE all of it! My problem though, was that I had no way to display it all. I wanted a China Cabinet but nothing I found really fit me. So I was on a mission. Mom had already promised me a china cabinet for Christmas so when I saw this old cabinet for sale on the side of the road, I just knew it would be my diamond in the rough. I say rough because it looked just that... rough! I don't know why I didn't get a before picture. It was darkly varnished, drab and just sad but I saw the potential! Using all the elbow grease I could muster up I sanded the bad boy down. Spray painted it white then painted the inside of the cabinet with a blue that reminds me of the ocean. Ahhh... now, thats me!

I still haven't put the door on yet. The door is the cabinet's most unique part... It's made with curved glass. Here is one more picture with everything in it
I have some projects going on this week that I should get posted next week.
Have a great week!
