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.

What a great find! Boy I think I could come up with something to fill it with. Maybe quilts, yarn, lots of stuff!!! I will be back to see how it all turns out!

We say that all the time around here. Love the cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI 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:)
