A while back- Edwin's grandma 'granny' moved a bunch of her furniture out of her house to prepare for a move. She asked me and Edwin to see if we wanted anything, and our eyes met {and fell in love} with two things.
her precious little china cabinet was one of them:
Edwin and I had big dreams to one day turn it into our little "liquor bar"...
Here is the before. The wood itself made my heart skip a beat. its so beautiful and I loved the wooden wheels at the bottom. I was so excited she let us have this and better yet turn it into something so precious to us.
Excuse the messy garage:)
So- after a lot of sanding, staining and drilling we now have this in our dining room:
I am so in love.
The knobs are one of my favorite parts. We picked a pop of color but kept it in the rustic family. Edwin actually picked these out:)
We of course have the liquor side.... Edwin said to put the most important bottles up close :) always stocked on beam and black.
And then our wine side. I love all the room in the cabinets.
We re-did the mirror that was in the dining room and added that same brushed turquoise look to it. Tied everything together nicely.:)
Last but not least, we saved a drawer for the china that belonged to granny. Edwin loves it and so do I. We are so happy to have it along with a special piece we will forever treasure in our homes.
