Trash 2 Treasure Tuesday~

And also..........................

Here is a little bowed front cabinet that I picked up for $12.... I paid about $10 more than I wanted to, but thats how it goes sometimes! When I bought it it was stained very dark. Of course the minute I've gotten it painted I realized I should have taken a before photo! Anywho--- I lightened it up by painting it pink!
I then added some paper to the inside/back of the cabinet. The paper I used was some scented dresser drawer paper that I picked up from a thrift store (brand new in the box) for $2. I used an antique wash (glue/sealer) over the top of the paper to yellow it up a bit and to seal the paper.I added some lace around the edge of the two shelves...On the back of this cabinet I used some reproduction catalog pages that was made into wrapping paper...another thrifted find @ .95cents! The wood on the back of this cabinet was still very "grainy" like it needed to be sanded-- so I opted to cover it with old looking paper. The bow of the cabinet makes it perfect for holding a cup & saucer.... these both were sent to me in different internet swaps.
