I was on my daily scouring of Craigslist and i saw something with potential. Okay I was in love, it was a beautiful piece broken and all. I emailed and she had it. I waited over two weeks to email her again and she still had it. I think people thought wow that has a lot of work. But not me, I negotiated on the price and my wonderful hubby picked it up! It was in bad bad shape but I knew it could be gorgeous!
My husband put the top on it, fixed the broken door and then added the chicken wire to the doors, and fixed the bottom door. The side of the cupboard was broken and chipped so he had to fix that too.
Fixed doors and chicken wire! We sanded and then put a coat of Annie Sloan Old white and Old Ochre. I love the progress.
Heck, I love the outcome!!! What do ya think? I think it turned out pretty darn cute and I am so glad it's in my house! :)
Oh my, this looks stunning! I LOVE IT!!! You and your hubby did a great job.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! It takes a special "eye" to see past what is and imagine what could be.

So cool. I just found a similar pie safe at a yardsale. The right door was broken pretty badly. I fixed it all and it now resides in my home. I just poisted it on my blog. Check it out!!
