Cupboard Makeover = Happiness

I am the Queen of picking things up with good intentions.  Good intentions to paint it or clean it up or put it on ebay or whatever.  Lots of times I look at it for so long I just get sick of it and end up re-donating it.  

When I brought this little cupboard home this week, I swore that I would paint it and put it to good use.  Not later, not someday...NOW!  I hated the beige paint and the birdhouses and painted doors.  I know some people might still like that look, but it's just not me. So, I sanded it and painted it white.  I originally thought I would edge it in red like an old Hoosier, but in the end, I decided I liked it solid white.

To say that I love this little cabinet would be a severe understatement.  Like, I want to marry it, you know?

And because I am in my *cough* 40's *cough, of course I have two sets of tiny dishes and a tea pot to fill it up.  And,  doily, of course.  Green handled cookie cutter?  No problem.

Wee cookie jar?  Of course!  Miniature salt and pepper shakers?  Why, of course!

I spent part of the afternoon pillaging my house looking for all my little stuff.  I think I found it.  

 I still need to put the tiny glass knobs on.  I saved these from a long gone project.  Happy that I rediscovered them earlier this week.

Here it is in the living room where I can see it.  Right next to my beloved Shiny Brite filled lamp.  Throw in a tiny celluloid baby doll and some metal toy scales and you have a table full of happy. 

What made you happy today?
