the new girl

after months of sitting in the garage and months of me scraping and scraping and scraping,
the new girl has moved into the dining room.
i fell in love on craigslist and i convinced hizzle to let me get a 1920's china cabinet.
considering how many hours scraping i spent i paid about $45 too much.

her one redeeming quality is the amazing green color that was underneath some white and creamy white layers of paint and there is no way i could achieve such a 'shabby' look if i had tried.  i was going to paint her coventry gray.
at least i don't have to go buy a can of coventry gray.
and i have a great place to put sun flowers.

the people through the decades had even painted the glass knob.
i can't believe i had to scrape a pretty glass knob.
people.

as much as i like airy emptiness i had to junk her up for storage (the tray didn't stay...i had forgot to move it)
you can tell how much i styled the shot since i forgot to move my polka dotted water cup, purse camera, tray and deer head.... oh yea, the deer head stays.
i did manage to move the pile of sheets en route to the washer out of the way.
