The Keeper



I'm so picky when it comes to picking my own pieces. it has to be unique, something you don't see often... I've been searching for a cabinet/ bookcase for such a long time. I mean lonngggg time. They're either very plain and cheap, or omg gorgeous but expensive!! I'm not gonna lie, I'm more on the cheapo side. So after a long time of searching for nothing, I kinda forgot about it.... Until recently I found this! I went to an estate sale specifically for her (and other things)! luckily no one grabbed her before me.







I didn't want to paint her. She was just on the tired side, her wood was dried out and was orange! I didn't have to do any prepping, just got straight to staining. I did stain her Kona thinking the orange tones would make it be more of a dark walnut, but it turned out even better, very dark with red undertones.. Just how I like it!




She's now home to many of the lovely finds I've kept throughout countless pickings.





I need to invest In a better lens! This ones not so great.





Thanks for looking!

    That is such a gorgeous piece of furniture with great lines! I definitely would have gone the stain route, also!

    Oh boy am I envious of you finding that piece, it's absolutely gorgeous. Glad you stained it to keep the wood look and enriched it. You found yourself a fantastic piece. Love all your picks also. I'll never have a perfect or clutter free house, I love me my pretties, need to be able to look at them. If we're gonna be stuck at home all the time I want to be able to look at my pretties, lol.
    You did a beautiful job making that piece look new again, it's really worth the trouble. Happy weekend

    I have many hobbies. I love to travel and read. But my favorite hobby is cooking. Let me tell you why! First, I'll tell you a little bit about why I started cooking. Secondly, I'll give you some information about what I like to cook. Third, I will say how I use the Blog ẩm thực for cooking.

    When I started cooking, I was 10 years old. My mom wants me to be a chef. She has always believed that girls have to make different types of food, because one day they will get married. In my country, it is normal for girls not to cook. I feel lucky because I can cook many dishes. Now that I cook some of the dishes my children and husband love, I become happy and proud of my mother and myself. Foody
