NEW USE FOR OLD LATTICE weathered wood cabinet


Another cabinet finished and ready for a new home.


 I have had this little three drawer dresser for a very long time.
It has been the only piece of furniture that was shallow enough to fit
behind the front door but I wanted more storage above.
So I bought this sheving unit and cut the top portion off to add to the dresser.


It served its purpose but I always swore as soon as I found something better to take
its place I would sell it.
Well as of last week I found the better piece.


Confused yet?
The story doesnt quite end there but for now
Ill just get back to the pretty pictures of the newly finished cabinet.



These appliques were something I added long ago,
and if you would like to achieve this kind of look Ive wrote an article you can find here.


The material I used for the shelf backing looks even better in person.
I took and old lattice panel, pulled it apart, removed the staples, and cut each one to fit.


I chose simple but not boring handles so they wouldnt upstage the appliques.

SLEEPING BEAUTY art deco china cabinet

AURORA


I received an email from a local follower Victoria, asking if I
 wanted a couple of furniture odds and ends she had. Nothing major
 but things I could store and use in the future when necessity called.
 While visiting and talking with Victoria this art deco china cabinet
 came up. She had bought it with great intentions but before
 commencing on the revamping task she came across a second
cabinet that matched her needs better. So it was now up for sale.

Please meet Aurora!


Yes, I named her after sleeping beauty.

Auroras jewelry looked like that of a night owls big saucer eyes,


 so it was time to get to working on a new look for this princess



She got a bath, and a new pair of shoes.



A tiara,


and a matching necklace,



She got a new dress



with all the pretty bouquets of flowers


her eyes started to lit up with excitement because


Aurora has even found her prince charming





 in JACK.
You can read more about Jack here.


THE END
