Somewhere

So I found a place for the little table

It is on the upstairs landing 

Previously a lost, lonely and unloved part of the house

As landings, entryways, corridors so often can be

 

but with the newly stripped little table 

some books, flowers, indian wooden beads and my 

Bold & Noble

print

this now feels like somewhere

Have a great weekend

A small before and after

This little cabinet came back from NYC with us 

She (she is a lady right?) has been sitting in the shed for 6 months

When I bought her she was varnished with that awful yellow/orange high gloss

One day I thought she should be white 

and being lazy, with 3 boys in tow,
couldn't be bothered to walk 7 blocks to the hardware store

I decided to paint her with Milk paint, which was all I had at home.

I love milk paint but this was a BAD idea.

Do not paint milk paint onto a varnished cabinet,

but you probably knew that already 

So there she sat, unloved and unused 

milk paint peeling and chipping,

until last week 

I hauled her inside 

Removed the very pretty handles 

and scraped and scrubbed 

with some paint remover and a lot of elbow grease 

and Now here she is !

I didn't worry about leaving a few spots of paint in the cracks and corners,

that gives her character! 

Now I just need to figure out where to put her
