sunshine and a cabinet

The benefit (and sometimes downfall)

of living in an area with many military families

is that folks are always moving 

in and out.

and so it goes.

Some lovely neighbors of ours were heading out and had a garage sale.

They sold us this old cabinet for $40

Don't ask me WHY I did not take a BEFORE photo!

*head smack*

 It WAS an old brown cabinet

I just absolutely loved it!

Their were some chipped decorative bits on the front

(which I removed and then replaced)

and the inside was painted a "not so lovely" shade of... peach?

I took it apart in our driveway and sanded it.

removed all loose bits and smoothed and cleaned it up a bit

I added some decorative circles on the front

and then the fun part.

PAINT!

I painted the inside a lovely robins egg-ish color

and the outside took a bit of thought

but I figured this bright yellow would make me smile 

and it does!

So even when its gloomy outside

I have my little bit of sunshine 

inside :)
