chippy cabinet redo

Yay the weekend is finally here. Although it is Freezing here, I'm still happy it's Friday! I did some rearranging with my distressed chippy cabinet. I moved a lot of my ironstone into this cabinet and some of my vintage sewing supplies still on their original cards. I have my piece of tin picture frame with an old picture of my husbands late grandfather and his dump truck and a few other odds and ends I thought would be cute in here. On top I added some scattered pine cones and my little white deer. Also my vintage looking locker basket with my ironstone plates and bread board. I got this bread board from the thrift store and it was originally a blonde colored wood which didn't go with anything in my house, and since it's just for decoration I stained it a walnut color and love the aged look it gave it.

This cabinet is very special to me because it's one my grandfather, who has since passed away, built many years ago. He was an excellent woodworker and I cherish all the pieces I have that he created:)

I also moved my huge chalkboard over here that was in the dining room. Since we have moved the dining room, I thought this would be a good spot for it. This cabinet sits right when you enter the front door so beside it is my numbered coat rack made of old wood. It has some heavy duty vintage iron hooks so it can hold plenty of coats, which is nice since we do not have a coat closet.

It's funny how doing a little rearranging can really give a space a fresh new look and can make me so happy...I guess it's just the little things! Thank you for stopping by my blog...hope you will come back again to visit!
