The Search Is Over!

We have this one corner in our kitchen that no matter what I put there or bought, nothing seemed to look right.   When we renovated our kitchen one year ago, I bought this cabinet from the Habitat for Humanity.  I thought I could make it work.   Well I didn’t like it so out to the garage it went.   

Then I bought this corner cabinet and put it there.   I lived with it but I didn’t really like it. 

Then two weeks ago, Charlie and I went to an auction and this beautiful table was there.  It was love at first sight.  I pulled my tape measure out and the dimensions were a perfect fit.  Charlie and I waited patiently for the bidding to almost stop and then he jumped in and we got it for $110.  I was in seventh heaven! 

The table was in perfect condition.  I love the open space in the bottom. 

With liquid sander deglosser, cabinet paint and new hardware, I transformed it to this.

I didn’t paint the top or bottom of the table.  I left the stain.  I put baskets on the bottom shelve to hold Duncan’s dog good and my cookbooks. 

 

Charlie and I made the shelves.  We purchased the corbels from Home Depot. 

 

I have searched and experimented for almost a year for the right piece of furniture to go into our kitchen.  And now I am content.
