Okay, I'll admit it... I have a problem with cabinets. All types: small ones, old ones, new ones, used ones. I love them! I load them up with everything!! It all started with having a new home, with little "character." (That, coupled with having had 3 children within 3 1/2 years of moving here!) I've got a hankering for these babies because they
1. add some character
2. hide all the clutter
1. add some character
2. hide all the clutter
Here's just a taste:
I'm beginning to think that maybe, just maybe, the spouse has a point, I do have a problem with old furniture cabinets.
The grey china cabinet in the second row, (a.k.a. "Aunt Lucy's Cabinet"- it really isn't from any Aunt Lucy, it's a Restore purchase. The spouse hates it. It was GOLD, I mean super 70's Gold. I painted and glazed the outside, painted the inside a cream and stopped there. I had a problem with how to make it less "Aunt Lucy" looking. Just last week, I spotted some grey and white striped wrapping paper in Marshall's and decided to put that in the back for some eclectic flair as a solution. The spouse says the only solution is the curb. Not happening. Now I'm on the hunt for some new hardware and I think it'll be fine! (One drawer pull is currently in my purse for measurement purposes!)
So what I really need is to eliminate some clutter. I vow to not buy, rescue, or receive in any way, another cabinet, for a little while?!
