Something Old and Something New


While out vintage shopping a few weeks ago, I came across this little cabinet.  I was taken with the shape and size and immediately thought that it would be perfect for our hallway... it was such a good deal that I couldn't refuse!



Scott is the painter in the family and he was kind enough to prime and paint this little gem for me.  Even though I had originally envisioned it in the hall with a little lamp on it, by the time that it was ready to be placed, I already knew that I had found another home for it!


It mirrors perfectly the larger pieces in the room, anchors the bed the way a wooden footboard would do and yet takes up surprisingly very little space and has ample storage... I'm delighted!


I get such enjoyment from taking something old and breathing new life into it.  This little piece has found a new home and will happily accommodate flickering evening candles, a breakfast tray on a lazy weekend or fresh flowers from the garden throughout the summer.  I couldn't be more pleased!
