About a year ago we made this purchase:
Got it from the old ghost town of Virginia City, MT.
It's 150 years old - that's old!
Quilts go in the top and
I keep my recipe books in the bottom messy half.
We both love it - but I didn't love all the different pieces of wood....so....yep -
I painted it.
I painted it.
Now, normally I wouldn't paint an antique but this one needed some help!
I love this blue.
I decided to only paint one coat because I wanted that antique look.
Worked exactly how I wanted it to.
That 150 year old wood soaked it right up!
Look at this way cool latch - puts a smile on my face.
I thought of filling the top shelf with my old blue tinted Mason/Kerr/Ball jars...
But, my quilts are happier there.
Everybody is back home....and I am through the roof happy with my new/old cupboard.
Once again, you rock! Much better than when I saw it last year, although it was cute then! Now it is wonderfulness!
ReplyDeleteRemember you said you would paint it red? I seriously debated! But, I love the blue....for now!
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeletethanks, me too!
DeleteI love what you did with the old cupboard! I have an old hutch that belonged to my mother-in-law that I would like to do something with. I know it's pretty old, but the finish is really dull.
ReplyDeleteThis finish was really dull, too. It certainly needed something to wake it up! Be brave - paint that old hutch!
DeleteWhat a transformation! That's a cupboard I would love to own. The latch is something special.
ReplyDeleteAh - thanks, Jamie. I walked by it for months in the antique shop and finally brought it home...that latch....I know!
Deleteoh stitchy!! that's amazing.
ReplyDeleteIs it OK to be totally in love with a piece of furniture????
DeleteAnd BTW, the quilts are perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteOf course you noticed my treasures! You & me & 30's....sigh!
DeleteLove the hutch!! Your paint job turned out perfect!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Took a chance and it worked!
DeleteIt's fantastic. I love the new color. I think you're right. It was the right thing to do!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a new coat of paint to wake something up! thanks...
DeleteEveryone loves what you guys are up too. This type of clever work and exposure!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good works guys I've incorporated you guys to blogroll.

ReplyDeleteI never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
