Wall Cabinet Makeover!!

LATELY I HAVE BEEN RETHINKING THIS ALL NEUTRAL COLOR PALLET...I STILL LOVE MY VINTAGE AQUA MCCOY POTTERY, AND THOUGHT WHY NOT RE-DO MY WALL CABINET IN THE MASTER BATH AND DISPLAY IT IN THERE!! I LOVE IT, DOESN'T IT LOOK GORGEOUS WITH VINTAGE RHINESTONE JEWELRY MIXED IN?

VINTAGE GLASS BOTTLES AND A CLOCHE, I LEFT ALL THE SHEET MUSIC LINED ACROSS THE BACK, I LOVE THE LOOK, AND ESPECIALLY FOR SPRING, VERY CHEERFUL
I DON'T BELIEVE I WILL EVER GET TIRED OF MY VINTAGE TALCUM POWDER TIN COLLECTION, THOUGH I HAVE DOWNSIZED IT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS!

.......AND THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS WITH THE GLASS DOORS CLOSED....

THIS LAST PHOTO IS HOW IT LOOKED BEFORE....THOUGH IT WAS PRETTY, I HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT OF COLOR HERE AND THERE....LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! WHAT ARE YOU CHANGING AROUND FOR SPRING?? ARE YOU IN THE SPRING SPIRIT? I KNOW I AM...ALL THIS WEEK THE HIGHS ARE GOING TO BE IN UPPER 70'S! YEAH, MORE ESTATE SALES, JUNKING, AND BEING ABLE TO DO PROJECTS OUTSIDE! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A SUNNY HAPPY WEEK!!

Hurry Up Spring!!

Isn't it time for spring by now?? This wishy washy weather is keeping me inside
today. No junkin' for me today! So I thought I would share with you all some
close-up shots of just some of my favorite treasures.....

Pretty victorian rubber-like molds...love how the light shines on them...

Never enough old jars filled with vintage crocheted lace....

Old tattered books displayed under a cloche....

If these old victorian shoes could talk...the stories they could tell...

My favorite trophy of all....always on the hunt for more....

Victorian rhinestone jewelry always gets my heart to racing
when found at estate sales.....

I have started with my spring cleaning, downsizing is always
a part of the process, I am loving my kitchen more these days...
I just love this old ceiling tin planter box, found this past weekend
for only 8.00! I just added some tea-stained roses...so pretty!!

Tea-stained roses mixed with vintage ironstone....a lovely combination!!
I hope you all have enjoyed your visit...I appreciate all your nice comments!!
Have a wonderful day~~~Cheryl
