Cabinet Before & After

I picked this cabinet up off of Craigslist

a couple of weeks ago..

 

Dark.. drab.. blah..

 

So, out comes my

pretty pink and white paint

 

And, this is what I got!

 

Bright, shabby.. YUM!!

 

I painted the inside and the details

with white, and the rest of her

gorgeousness with pink.

 

Then, shabbied her all up!

 

I just love how the old finish is peeking through...

 

 

I can so picture her with pretty

rolled up guest towels and lovely soaps inside.

 

I really, really wish I had the room

in our guest bathroom..

 

I also painted this antique frame to match.

Again, pink on the outside,

and white on the details.

 

So pretty!!

Hometown Hutch

I found this hutch for sale on Craigslist

a couple of months ago..

when I got it home

I looked it all over

and on the back was

the original tag that said

Grand Haven Michigan.

 

Awesome!!

 

Since Grand Haven is only a few miles

from where I grew up!  My family actually

camped there every summer;

at the Conference Grounds.

 

Here she is in all her brown glory:

 

 

 

And.. now here she is in all her

awesomeness!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I changed the bottom knobs out

with new ones I found at

Michaels eons ago..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love her MUCH better now!

Mr. Ruffles is away working this weekend,

so I took the opportunity to do some shopping.

I stopped at my favorite fabric store

and found this wonderful

Cabbage and Roses fabric..

It's SOOO pretty!!

Can't wait to get started on a project with this:

I bought this cutey patuty bear from Pop Vintage

a local store in Clermont, FL, a few months ago..

When I picked the bear up

to purchase, it had a cute lill tutu on it.

Chris, the owner, said it didn't go

with the bear.. but, I bought the bear

anyway, thinking I'd sew one up, no problem.

Well, I never got around to it..

but, guess what I found in a thrift store

the other day!!

A white tutu!

After I bought the bear and brought

it home, I took a peek at the tag

to see what it's name was.

Much to my suprize.. the bear

isn't a she.. he's a "Bradley"!!

Isn't Bradley so cute with a

new tutu and a rhinestone crown?!

At the same store I found these stunning

size 8 little girl dresses..

So pretty

The lady I bought them from asked if someone

was getting married, I said, "Nope, but, these will

look great as a backdrop in my booth"!

I'll be bringing them up to RnR

next week to hang them up.

Promise to take pictures!

(Can't wait to show ya'll  what I've been working on..

I hope to have them up in my booth by Wednesday..

It's taken awhile to complete this project,

considering it's so flippen hot outside I can't last 

more than an hour at a time without sweating to death.. LOL )

My last stop of the day was at an

antique mall here in Mt. Dora, FL.

I had a grea time looking for treasures

but, never really found anything

in my price range that sparked my interest..

until.. I was ready to get my purse out of

the locker, I looked down and there was this

old record cabinet!

SCORE!!

I just love the antique mirror on the top.

Beveled and in tact!!

All in all quite a day of shopping..

Thanks Mr. R!!

Radio Cabinet ReDo

I found this radio cabinet at the antique mall

where I have my booth:

Poor thing!! LOL

So, of course,

I just had to take her home

and give her a makeover..

Here she is all painted white..

And, here she is all

shabby'd up and gorgeous!!

I lined the inside with some

pretty Shabby Chic brand fabric..

From that...     to this!!

Everything's in Two's!

Two step ladders last week..

and now..

Two corner cabinets!!

Well, I didn't finish 2 of them

at once, this is my 2nd corner cabinet I've completed.

I ALMOST love this one more than the last!

(Except the 1st one I did was from

my parents farmhouse..)

Gotta love handmedowns!!

Here's the before picture:

And, here are the afters:

I kept the handles original

since they were made of wood..

Even painted & shabbied the back..

From that....   to this!
