A glorious Monday here in Maryland! Sun is shining and it’s warm. I also have a fabulous Favorite Find Monday to share!
I went to a thrift store last week that I seldom go to. Their prices are typically too high for me but every once in a while they will have something that is affordable. It was my last Friday of freedom before spring break so my mother and I headed out there. She found this sweet little cabinet and we were thrilled. It is a gorgeous, old, farmhouse cabinet likely from the 1930’s and in great shape.
The store was having a special that day on dining room furniture – 15% off. However, the woman who runs the place said I couldn’t get the discount. She told me she would put it in a hallway. Say, what?! I told her that her view was quite subjective and it is a dining room piece, or an eat-in kitchen/dining piece. Luckily, another woman working there backed me up and I was finally allowed the discount. No vision!
The second I saw it, an image came to my mind of how it should look. I found these on Pinterest that pretty much sum up the ideas floating through my head. 
I need to go back and show her these pics to open her mind 😉

I LOVE the blue and white….
It’s kind of a strange looking cabinet in that it looks like a couple of different styles to me. But what do I know? I really like the turquoise cabinet and would love to see this one painted like it. Would need to paint or replace the hinges. Would not like the brass on the painted piece. Looking forward to see what you do with it!
so? did you actually buy it? I have pinned the same pictures from Pinterest and I agree it is such a nice piece Would love to see it when it’s done. Will you be able to make a profit on it? Will you take it to Lucketts? The resale in this area is not very good, no matter how stunning it turns out. :^(
Hi Liz, yes I bought it. It’s hard to find good pieces at good prices anymore. Just couldn’t leave this one behind!
I can tell you that is a spitting image of a medical cabinet in my old doctor’s office. Meaning SHE was old, not that I don’t go to her anymore.
However.
How dare we label in this day and age of diversity!? It can be in the dining room and stand tall. 🙂
You did a great job.
