~ Out With The New-In With The Old...~

~ Now it is time to upgrade that out dated light fixture...~
~ Time to collect more treasures to store in this piece...~




~ Before...~








If anyone would have told me that my love for vintage and worn objects would out weigh my love for new goodies, I would have told them they were crazy. Well, I will have to eat those words. I continue to be drawn to the old vintage loved objects whether small or large. Yesterday, my friend Barb decided she needed to make a change in her home which lead to a change in mine. Take out the tall black and brown cabinet in her front door and bring it to Tiina for her boring and empty kitchen wall. Well, although I am a fan of black and natural brown, it just didn't feel right with my colors. In comes the Martha Stewart colors in differing shades of grey. Light on the outside and darker on the inside. Should I stain or not? Hmm....Haven't decided yet, but at least the piece has been painted and distressed. Just in time for Thanksgiving...
