New Cupboard

Last weekend, my daughter and I headed out for a shopping day.  She was looking for a prom dress and I was looking for antiques.  While she didn't find a dress, I found a new cupboard for our downstairs 1/2 bath.  
This cupboard is made from an old crate and barn board siding added to the front for a door.  I love it, it's dark brown and grungy/dirty looking.  

 Looking around for items to fill it with didn't take me long.  I bought the old bottle at Karen's of My Colonial Home when she had Christmas Open houses.  Tammy from A Primitive Place gave me the old clothespins tied with a scrap of blue coverlet in a swap.  
 In the same swap, Tammy made the square fabric covered boxes.  I love looking at my treasures knowing that my online friends have helped me decorate my home.
  I picked up the little brown chick last weekend at the same shop I found the cupboard at.  
Sitting under the cupboard is another fabric covered box - again from Karen's show with a beeswax bunny I bought on Etsy from Willow B Primitives 
I replaced this maroon hanging shelf and I'm really loving how the new cupboard looks.
Did you have a fun St. Patrick's day?  We didnt' do anything special - just stayed home and watched basketball.  We're cheering for our Buckeyes.

  9. Great cupboard, Ann!
    One of my biggest weaknesses is antique cupboards. I think it's because no one else will have one just like it.
    Hugs :)

  12. Oh! I love that cupboard and all the little goodies you have in and around it. I wish I knew how to find things like that where I live. (I tend to shop only in the town in which we live since we have nearly everything here, but I probably miss out on a lot of goodies available in other nearby areas.)

  14. LOVE that little cupboard. I found an old Champion clothespin bag filled with the old pins from my MIL. After seeing yours displayed I think I will fill a glass jar and set them out. Nice post!

  17. I love that cupboard Ann! (Well, to be truthful, there aren't many old cupboards - or even just "old looking cupboards" I've met that I haven't loved....Wish I had more wall space to accommodate them!) A bath redo is on my list of projects too....sigh.... (Don't you hire out??) ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
