Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I finally decided to give this old cupboard a little makeover. I bought this old cupboard at Coulson's in Summerside a few years ago and it was stained pine when we bought it. For a few years it was a my daughter's house in her kitchen. She painted it a cupboard gold to match her cupboards. However,they moved to a new house last year so the cupboard came back to me and as you probably know it quickly filled up with dishes.
The gold worked okay so I left it for awhile but this weekend I decided to paint it Victorianna by Ralph Lauren the same color as the woodwork in most of our home.
Once the paint dried I had fun changing the dishes to my brown and white transferware with some cream ones mixed in.
Some of you may remember these from the library that I shared a few weeks ago. So, now I can have fun redoing the table display in there! Good thing it will soon be garden season and the only thing I will be moving will be perennials and compost.

And his brother Sam in this one.
Cupboard gold color it was before it's little makeover.
Today I am joining Cielo at the house in the roses for show off your cottage Monday where there is lots of inspiration.
Also it is Metamorphsis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch so I am joining Susan as well and once agin lots to see over there.
Thank you for visiting me today,
Carolyn

Carolyn - what an cozy place to spend a winter's afternoon! I just adore your new cupboard in that corner as a backdrop to your beautiful wingback chairs. I can just imagine us sitting by that lovely fire sipping tea and sharing gardening ideas..... :)

Hi Carolyn
I like the new colour on the cupboard much better - hope your daughter likes it too!
Judith
Everything is so beautiful. You have the touch :-)
Dearest Carolyn,
The white looks far better than the previous color, especially striking for its back side. Great job. It surely holds lots of your china so you must be very happy with this addition.
Lots of love,
Mariette
Carolyn,
I love the colour that you painted your cabinet. It is so soft. It looks so beautiful with all of your dishes. Thank you for the inspiration.
Have a wonderful week.
