This sad cabinet was picked up at an auction a few weeks ago. The poor thing had just been thrown in some out building, left among other equally unloved items to just sit and rot. And when it finally had a chance at a new home, well, not a lot of other people were ready to place a bid on such a pathetic looking piece of wood.
We however were not afraid. When the auctioneer yelled out a price we could deal with – she was all ours. This week we got a chance to pay it the attention it deserved.
Carin cleaned it up…
After a little paint and some sanding…
I love that we kept it looking a little worn but that it’s no longer so “abused” looking.
Gorgeous, no? It feels so good to take something back from the brink of winding up on someone’s curb and give it a new world of possibility…
