I was browsing my favorite antique mall and saw this little cabinet/shelf and knew it would be PERFECT to hold some of my fabric and shipping supplies (those are my shipping envelopes on the bottom shelf).The shelf was an ugly, kind of oak-ish color wood/press board mix. I decided to get it and paint it a nice chocolate brown.
The doors lift up and slide back into the shelf. Do you want to know the best part?? This shelf was $68.00 and I wasn't sure I wanted it (I'm bad at making decisions about furniture). I decided to browse the store and come back to it before I left to make a decision. By the time I got back to it 20 minutes later, there was a big red sale sticker on the price tag and it had gone down to $48.00!Score!
I just snapped this photo of Kitterson. I love the pink nose!:
Lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteVery nice...I love the chocolate brown, it looks very warm. The glass is really pretty too...you can see the colors through but it's kind of "wavy" looking...nice find!
