Post # 2 For Today.....The Reveal!!!

O.k.....no I don't have a fever......but here's two....count 'em TWO POSTS in one day!! LOL!!
This is one of my favorite items I own.....it's a cabbage slicer.....the wood "box" part is what would hold the head of cabbage while you slid it back and forth across the blades.....
DH fixed it where I could hang it on the wall.....I added the old shoes (repros) and the candle (GW find .99) It's ceramic and it was painted an ugly, ugly blue color then dry brushed with white paint!! YUK!
After several of you in blogland helped me (Char, Carolyn and many others)......I decided to spray paint it a flat brown and "grunge" it up real "prim" like with a mixture of instant coffee, cinnamon, ginger & cloves in the cheap spice bottles......then I topped it off with one of those battery tea-lights!
Ta-da!!!

This picture (above) is out of order where I wished I'd put it.....but it's in the photos further on down......I just love what this sampler says!! No, I did not stitch it.....
I went "shopping in my shop" one day and decided I needed it! LOL!!


O.k. Here's the corner in the DR I've been working with......this is what was there at Christmas....same stuff now (well before the reveal).......just minus the Santa Suit and Christmas tree.....I had the old ironing board turned around......stay with me here, please..... :)

So....I got to thinkin' (dangerous, I know!) about what this little cupboard here (below) would look like in that corner of the DR instead of here in the kitchen........hmmmmm?????

Haven't lost anyone yet......have I?? :)
Ya know I told you DH had made something to add to a piece he'd already done? Remember???? Oh, I know it's been awhile......but you do remember.....right??

Well......these (below) are it!

Apothecary drawers!!!!
We placed them on top of the single door pantry and this is the look we got!!!

I LOVE IT!!!! I so thought of you Linda at "Behind My Red Door" on this one!!!

I kept thinking.....now what would she do to decorate it?

What would Lisa at "Primitives From Above" and Jennifer from "Taylor's Farmhouse Attic" do?

I really lean towards a mix of these styles as well as a little of ths and a little of that.....

There are so many of you out there that are such talented decorator's.....all of your homes are lovely!!

So what do you all think out there????

Well, that's one reveal......the next one I'll have to show you is what I did with the space in the kitchen where we took the single door pantry from.....it's so neat!

I can hardly wait to show you.....but there's a couple more "tweaking" things I have yet to do!

So I'll have to keep you in suspense a bit longer!! LOL!!

Thanks for looking!!!
