MY Corner Cabinet-


This is the corner of my dining area
what it looked like before.....

I always wanted a corner cabinet, passing so many by
because I thought I didn't have the room.
Welllll... I couldn't pass up on a deal
when I was offered a cabinet for free. So I
took it home.... clean it up, painted it
and their you have it.


I decided to put it in this corner, and that meant
it had to be lifted up and nailed to the
wall, because of the water base heater that
is on that side of the wall. Of course I had to get my
husband involved and used him once again for
the many projects that I create. Sometimes
you hear a little bit of murmuring, but after it's
done and over he really does appreciate it.


I am so well pleased with the way it turn out, but
after it was done I had a little dilemma
trying to figure out where to put everything else
in it's place. I know most of you women can
relate to that when you bring home a goodie it
usually means the house may be in an uproar
for awhile until it all comes together
and that it did!
Now for the next project.... hehehe

Blessing to you all-
Sandy

Mathew 29:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Hi Sandy :) Love your corner cabinet! Fabulous re-do, and perfect place to have it. I know what you mean about putting something new in one place, then trying to figure out where to put the things that were there! It can start a vicious cycle of re-arranging your things, lol :) Ah, the things we must do to make our homes beautiful!

Have a great day!!

Warmest hugs to you, Brenda

P.S. Stop by my blog to see my new Giveaway I'm having :)

Hi Sandy!

The old saying "The best things in Life are free" certainly does apply here! Especially when the best things are so gorgeous!
Your cabinet looks as if it has always been there and adds the perfect touch to such a pretty room!
Thanks for sharing your inspirations!
I have a giveaway that ends in a week and would love you to stop by and take a peek :-)

Hugs and Smiles,

Looking good ;-) Corner cabinets are great when space is limited. I'm on the look-out for one but it would have to fit into my living room.

Thanks for the Scripture, I find it so comforting :-)

Sandy, I'm so glad you have some of your blogging mojo back. I've missed your posts.

I fell in love with your beautiful dining room the first time I ever saw it on RMS...waaaay back when! The addition of the corner cabinet is just the frosting on the cake. Really pretty!

And yes, I do completely understand the uproar one simple change can cause in a house. Been there. Done that. Many, many times. :)
