Another Cabinet Sold

I sold this cabinet today.  It was such a pretty little thing and I hope the new owner enjoys it.

I already have another china cabinet in my workshop that I have started to work on.  I only have two left in the basement; I better start looking for more, although I still have a buffet and some chairs to work on!

Another Cabinet Completed

I just completed this cabinet.  I really enjoyed this one.  She was very plain, so I added the relief on the drawer and the scrolled back.


Man, I have attempted to change the header on my blog and after 2 hours I am just giving up for now.  It can look a bit wonky for a couple of days.  I wish I had more time!  A bloggers lament. 

April Fools Joke!

Mother Nature is having fun with us today post Easter Holiday.  It looks more like post Christmas

Easter

Easter Flowers

This is a tiny Easter floral arrangement I made for on top of our china cabinet.

Easy, peasy.  I took three square glass vases purchased at the Dollar Tree, cut a burlap potato bag into strips and wrapped the strips around the vase.  I used a pretty brown ribbon I had in my sewing box to tie the burlap in place and voila.  Grants Independent in Hanover had a variety of daisies for sale that I could not resist.

Twisted Sisters Broomball

I have donated this chalk board to the Mildmay Twisted Sisters Juvenile Broomball team.

They are having a Roast Beef Dinner & Silent Auction on Sunday March 24, 2013 at Mildmay-Carrick Arena.  Serving is from 4-8pm.  The meal will be wonderful (home made pie!) and all monies raised go to the team.  They are in the Nationals in Cornwall, Ontario, the 1st week of April.

Tickets are still available.

This is a shabby chic, warm white chalk board.

There is a small tray to hold chalk.

Another Cabinet almost finished

This is another china cabinet turned storage.  I painted this cabinet a warm white with a shabby chic look.  Dan built the doors, but we haven't hung them yet.  Someone is interested in the cabinet, but not sure about doors.  I think they want it for a display unit in their gallery.

This is a before photo.  There was veneer missing in the front and some had to be re-glued.  The side panels are gone now and the whole piece has been sanded, primed, painted, sanded and waxed.

I love the simple lines of this cabinet.

She still has her original hardware

I am starting a new project even though I have some "unfinished business"
 in the basement.  This is such a cute cabinet.  I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
