I am getting ready to tackle my workroom here at my cottage.
What? Oh, thanks for asking- No, I haven't finished painting all those kitchen cupboards....yet. As the words to live by said yesterday, I am struggling to make progress here, people. I like to think that it is one of the perks of living solo with two incredibly understanding dogs. I can finish painting them when I am ready to. You know, when the urge strikes me. As of last night, half the cupboards are oak, and the other half are antiqued a nice shabby white, and the dogs don't seem to mind it a bit. I simply do not sweat the small stuff these days.
Now, where was I going with all this? Oh, yes. I am about to tackle my workroom. (Then, I promise, I'm gonna wrap up that kitchen cabinet painting job and show pictures of the finished project. Really. Really.)
You see, I spend so much time in my home office/studio/workroom that it is very important to me that it be inviting, and comfortable, but functional at the same time. (back to that livin' a beautiful life thing) And of course, it has to be done on the non existent suddenly single budget.
I already have pretty much everything to make this room a perfect haven for me to be creative- my old open top hutch, the used-to-be-on-my-deck-buffet-turned-worktable piece, curtains from my little shop at the mall, and of course, Dolly. (I just need to repaint everything the colors I want, and do some much needed organizing...er...cleaning...and such.)
What I added to the list of items to complete my workroom from yard saling was the most fabulous chandelier, which I shared with you this past week,and now, this perfect shabby cupboard with workspace top.
I traded a piece that didn't sell at the Porch Sale for this little charmer at the consignment store on Saturday afternoon. The only thing better than a thrifted find, is a straight across trade. (That means it was totally free, baby!) All I need to do now is decide if I am going to paint this piece, or simply put a coat of sealer on it to protect it, and leave it as is. I am really kind of enjoying the old weathered patina the cupboard is currently sporting. It adds an instant vintage feel to the room. Very Elizabeth House/Curious Sofa looking, don't you agree?
