Really working hard for the February sale 11 -14



A vignette almost complete.



This formerly walnut color buffet had a complete make over, I love this paint, it goes on  like a dream, I will actually BUY some of it.
 I prefer to use paint from a recycling center, I feel that adds to the intrigue, and my desire to save money.
This is a great vintage cabinet that only needed a little help.
By painting just the interior, it came to life, things will show up much more than with the dark shelves. I can't wait to fill it, paste wax first though.
 I am always attracted to anything with arches.
