I know, I know... I've been gone for way too long! For some reason the last week or so I've just been out of inspiration and creativity. I don't know where they went, but they were playing hide-and-seek! But this Sunday at church a friend mentioned to me that she loves reading my blog and told me I'm "so creative and artsy." I don't think she knew quite how much those words meant to me! I live to be creative and make things beautiful! And that was just the motivation I needed to jump start my inspiration.
This little cabinet had been waiting for me and my paintbrush to visit it for quite a while. I had had my eye on it hoping to make it look like Maria's antique pie safe-turned soap display case. But the coloring was not quite right, even though I loved the soft gray on the outside.
Here's the before (what were they thinking with the black shelf space???)
And here's the after! Ahhh much better. Light, bright and airy just like we like it! : )
My mom got a couple shots of me "in action."
Moving right along...

Eventually, I want it to take up residence in my bathroom. But until then I had fun playing and styling with the few little "props" I have stored here at my parents' house. Not too bad huh?








I hope your week has been full of inspiration and creativity! Thanks for stopping by!
{live beautifully}

ps lovely to have found you through sarah and beach cottage!
Love it!!! I have been searching for a small cabinet like this for our bathroom to no avail. Love the finish, really makes the difference between "eh" and "OH MY!"
ReplyDeleteGreat work, oh wise creative one!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Beth, I looked forever for one too! And I found it at Dillon's of all places, which is like Kroger or Safeway. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteMiss Sew, so glad you found me too! : )

Adorable! I really love the gray that you ended up with. You turned that into a great little cupboard! Visiting from A Beach Cottage..... ;~}
ReplyDeleteI know this shelf. I've seen it at my fred meyers....on clearance even, but I passed it up because of the black and dark gray. I have some shopping to do today, I'm really hoping its still there, I love yours.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you - I think this is quite perfect!!! Wow, what a great job you did. Love it! Can you tell me what colour grey you used? I want to paint my nightstands this way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
