Display cabinet...

A slim, pine, treacle varnished, astral glazed cabinet getting ready for a makeover....

With a custom made stand in old pine to lift it to a useful height.

First a coat of paint.......Annie Sloan again girls!

I am always in a hurry to see how the shape is transformed and the little details come to life just with a change of colour.

Then to tackle the inside.

The previous owner had made a start, removing the old wallpaper to reveal the original green interior and scraping the shelves of old cream gloss

Far too many hours later.... scraped, re painted and polished....it now sits in the hall waiting for a decision.

To sell or not to sell that is the question?

The marriage of the two pieces works so nicely..... the Victorian glazed top sits perfectly into the simple, cabinet maker made base.

And the original wide boards on the back add a certain chunkiness to this delicate cabinet.

I like the shabby, scraped interior, and filled with a collection of all white china would look fantastic.

I think I've talked myself into it......

Have a great week and enjoy the April showers,
Back soon,
