~Shabby Green Cabinet Makeover!~

This is part of the before picture, originally this cabinet was a light wood with ugly black imprints from the original store display.

Before picture with white primer.

This is the after picture after two coats of shabby green paint I then sanded the edges and finished it off with a dark wood stain to give it an aged look and to protect the finish! Delightful!

This is the darling after picture! Normally, I would have shabbied it white, but I am feeling the springy green. This could be decorated a million ways, dressed up or down, I just love the Its a wonderful life sign, got it for a mere .25 cents at a tag sale this weekend. 

This darling shabby table will be for sale for $32.50 in Cadwell's Flea Market in downtown Branson.

Hope you enjoyed this fun little makeover, stay tuned for my next project!

Flea Market Treasures

Darling Shabby Hoosier Cabinet

I love this sweet Shabby Hoosier Cabinet, it is probably my biggest splurge and I still got it $100 less than the asking price. It has its original flour sifter, enamel top  and bread rack. So sweet in my kitchen.

This cabinet is for sale~ Darling old hoosier with chopping block and wonderful deep drawers and stenciled cabinet windows!

My pretty cabinet with lots of delicate rose dishes. The lamp I found this weekend and the birdcage was a great deal from a friend which I then painted white! 

 

Sweet little Shabby Birdhouse found at the Fall Creek Farm Flea Market! I cannot tell you how much fun I have shopping for pretty decorative items! Please stay tuned I am painting my kitchen cabinets white!

Darling Vintage mirrors!

2 sweet vintage wedding veils~

Just some of the darling found treasures for the week~ I will bring them to the booth on Friday!

Oh my it has been a wonderful day! I volunteered at my son's school in the morning and totally made over my little booth in the afternoon! I marked a ton of stuff down so I can shop for new goodies! I have to support the habit. I cannot tell you the luck I have had in thrifting... some truly wonderful finds, I will share them soon! I am becoming so taken with vintage wedding apparel~A romantic at heart!

Pink laundry room!

Above is my darling new laundry room! Below is the lackluster before picture.

My new Laundry motivation! Keeping it looking pretty!

I am so so so excited about my new Pretty in Pink Laundry room! I spend so much time doing laundry I might as well enjoy it! Well, this is motivating me to stay on top of the big bad laundry pile! I painted the walls a soft pink called Kanuck I used this vintage shelf to cover the hot water heater. My once messy sock basket is concealed in a darling rose embellished hat box. Of course it would not be shabby without some pretty crushed roses and a dangling planter chandelier! What fun this was... next up my kitchen! Well, I hope you enjoy this little eye candy treat!

Huge praise for such a beautiful day! The sun is shining the birds are singing and my toddler is about to be sleeping! Well, I stocked my flea market booths today and now it is time for a little play with paint! Of course I am thinking pink! Who would guess? Anyway, I have taken before pictures of my very plain and boring laundry room... stay tuned for some after pics! Ta Ta for now!

Well, today I am ramping up the energy to tackle painting my laundry room. I spend alot of time standing there staring at very ugly pipes, shelving and a giant water heater. I think it deserves to be decorated! Don't you agree? Anyway, I am thinking of painting it pink, why not... it is used by me 90% of the time! I am trying not to cause trauma to the men in my life (hubby and sons) by making everything to fu fu, but when I ask them what they think they usually don't even look and they say it looks great! My son told me that if I like it he likes it! Phew... these men really don't notice as long as there is a place to crash, clean clothes and plenty of food. Love my boys! Anyway, I am going to take some before pics of my laundry room and share them. Have a good afternoon and God Bless!
Oh yes and I am having a big big sweets craving! Don't these cupcakes look yummy!
