"Can't Believe This One"

Yard sale hutch

     You have probably never heard this expression..."Look what the cat just dragged in." What?!?! I can see you scratching your heads right now. Well if you could have seen me with my son Christopher wheeling this up the sidewalk...I'm sure it was a funny sight. But for $10.00 it was worth. However you would have to ask my son his opinion and my husband. 

     The mirror is one of several ornate ones found at a thrift store. It was gold but I applied a coat of white paint and distressed so that some of the original color would show through. I love finding these ornate mirrors and so far I have been very lucky [my husband would probably wish my luck would run out]....because there's no space for more. Now I just need to add some finishing touches like glass knobs for the doors, clean and fill, fill, fill with? What would you fill this piece with? I hope you'll return to see the outcome when everything has been completed. 

     Until next time happy collecting, thrifting and living.

  6. I say it all the time too...I think by now everyone has become accustomed to them. I can hardly wait to put the knobs on, clean and I thought of adding some blue vintage wall paper I have had for several years. Thanks for dropping by:)
