Remember that pitiful blue cabinet found in my Dads Auto Parts store? Here she is ! Two cans of spray paint and some super cool letter stickers and the cottage has a new addition.
I know you are just losing all kinds of sleep dreaming about this cottage,Ha! I have a few things left to complete before her debut and I hope you approve.It has been so much fun working on this cottage I almost hate to see it end...
I was planning to take a road to Round Top in hopes of finding those perfect pieces to complete her but life sometimes gets in the way. My plan was to find some goodies to share as well....so maybe in the spring it will work out. Have you ever been to Round Top Texas? I would love to hear about it.
So remember.. look past the faults, the dust and rust and try to find the beauty and Never under estimate the power of paint~

Wow that looks great, I need to get over there and scavenger hunt...Have a great day. Go visit my post on Lea's
The black paint did transform that piece. Looks like great storage for the cottage. Look forward to the big reveal.
it looks great, and so functional too. I have only driven through Round Top but didn't stop to look, kids in tow and they wouldn't be too patient all that walking around. Maybe some time soon while the kids are with the grandparents.......
agreed. the power of paint knows no limits.
very nice!!! i love how you look at everything and see its potential!! i am excited about the big reveal
This is darlin'!! Can't wait to see the grand finale!!!
BTW, I ran over to Home Depot yesterday and found scraps of wood...mine was only 51 cents!! I want to try to make a BOO board like yours...I just don't have the time to sit and work!! On my way to Bible Study after I change out of pj's!!
Hugs!

That "shelf" is looking so cool! I am very excited to see your cottage when she is all decked out!
I am so excited for you! Anxiously awaiting the big reveal of course.
It looks great! I love the addition of the stickers. I can't wait to see everything together!!
My husband thinks I should stop reading blogs, because it costs him money, LOL! I want a "place" of my own out back for all my crafts and I can't wait to see your finished project! Have a great day!!!
I have seen lotsa ladies do wonders with a spray paint can. I haven't gotten on that bandwagon yet, but I am game to try it. I have a project in mind...and oh yes, we are all losing sleep over the cottage reveal. LOL so glad you are having fun dressing it up. Looking forward to the reveal

What a great transformation! So impressed that you saw the value in that old cabinet and figured out a way to repurpose it. Can't wait to see what else is going on around it.
Love the new look!
Heading to Round Top this Sunday and then the following Sunday. I both times of the year, usually at least 2 times. LOVE IT! hopefully you can make it for another time.
I can't wait to see the cottage! I am sure it's great!
I can not wait to see it. I am excited for you.

Wow, what a great transformation. That must've been quite a job to get in all of those cubbies with the paint. Well worth the effort, though. Nicely done!
Can't wait for the eXciting unveiling! Oooh, do I spy a vintage/retro flash camera on top of your restyled cabinet? Groovy!
I've never been to Round Top, but would love to! You've done a fantastic job with this. But then, you always do, girl!
Brenda
hey friend! i love the way it turned out! i am so glad it has a new life with you! enjoy!
Your transformation is making me do the happy dance! I am so glad that you took something so interesting out of your dad's store and made it sing:)
It's fabulous! Wish I had such eye for ideas and transformations!
Love, love, love my fleur de lis ~ thank you!
Jo
First of all, this looks great! Second of all, I am totally jealous - I want one!
Chelsea
I agree with you. You have to be creative and see beyond the main function of a piece and see the potential of what it can be...
If you get a chance stop by my Blog and say hi! I just put up a new post...
Have a great day,
Aimee
Looking great! Where did you find those awesome stickers?
Paint is magic, isn't it! LOoks fantastic!
Oooo! Delight!
I KNEW that cabinet had great potential. I also knew YOU would add that something extra that said, vavavoom! The letters are perfect.
Wow! Great makeover... :O)
those stickers are perfect.....where did you find those?
Susie, I happened upon your Houzz article and couldn't believe you are also in Louisiana! Love what you are doing and feel you need to know about my line of full spectrum paints!
