Romancing an 1800's Farm Cupboard White

Romantic Farmhouse Style ..

Found ....

Thrifting !

Abbey and I are not the thrift store kind of girls ..Not that we dislike them ...we just never have had alot of luck finding much when we hit them and if we do they have some ridiculous specialized antique area with prices higher than antique malls ..So

We have stuck to the estate and yard sales where we generally have very good luck finding things ...

I don't know why but last week we decided to hit a couple thrift shops on a whim one morning ....and for the first time ever we found this awesome 1800's cupboard ..

It was unfinished pine .. The doors on top and bottom were gone and the drawer pull were missing ...But the Frame was sturdy and obviously the Charm was all over this piece !!!

We loved that the crown was still in place always a nice addition to the early cupboards ...

And of course the Price was right ..so it was an immediate "We'll take that" ... or so you would think ...Yes it was me ..I admit I questioned buying it ..now I look back I think I was a bit daffy that day ...But so glad within minutes I came to my senses ...LOL !!!

I had an immediate vision for it ..and knew what I wanted done with it so I shared with Abbey how I wanted it to look and we came home and started the transformation ...

CAUTION ...if you love unpainted wood ... please don't proceed .....

So here is the After ... in all it's Romantic Farmhouse style .. A soft creamy white paint ... Some Sweet Farmhouse Curtains made from white burlap and antique crochet lace trims ...and Some authentic antique bin pulls we've had waiting for a project that needed them ..

We even added some lace to the bottom to tie in with the curtains ...

Oh how hard it is not to keep this piece ...it's been tempting but if you saw our house ...we admit we are cupboard hogs ....and literally there isn't an inch to put this one ...SO....

This Farmhouse Beauty is headed to our Shop ...When ? Tomorrow ...

And I'll be interested to see how long it lasts ... you never know about these things ..

I'll be sad when it goes ...but it was such a joy to work on . You honestly don't find old cupboards like this very often anymore ...I am always looking for them ..and I think there are alot of other Cupboard hogs out there just like us ...They are just in hiding not admitting there addiction ...LoL !

Another Farmhouse Piece I worked on as a special order for a client ...is this sweet Lace covered Vase ...with our signature lace rosettes ..and a sweet glass glittered bird on a branch .. Along with some lovely vintage prisms ..One of which will be getting monogrammed this evening ..

It's a perfect way to display fresh blooms or our Glass Glittered Paper Roses, A bouquet of white Pencils ..or just as it is ...

Romancing the Farmhouse ...a delightful way to spend every day ...here at the farmhouse .
