Its done and in the room

Yes it did have doors on the bottom but I decided to leave the off and display more of my quilts in the bottom. As you can see I painted it red and then sanded on the edges to make it look old and then put a stain over the top. I left the top and just re stained it!
I also had two handles left over from our kitchen cabinets that I used on the top doors.

The blue quilt is I think the only quilt that my grandmother had made. Its made out of feed sack from the 1930's.

  1. I love what you did with your cabinet. Would you mind if I copied it. I have a hutch I just don't know what to do with.

    Thanks for the inspiration. That's twice now, as I am currently copying your rug;-)

    Blessings,
    Jilly
