My heart has been doing a happy dance since I stumbled upon this mid-century beauty this past week at a thrift store. I quickly got to work on it and within 3 hours and a little dry time I had this....
And to add a little bit of fun pattern and color I essentially wallpapered (with rubber cement so I can remove or change when I so desire) some fun vintage craft paper. I LOVE how it turned out! It is totally my style!
It replaced a little table (that I've had since high school) that sat in the same spot that did little but collect mail and keys (and hasn't really been my style in a long time). I'm happy to say that this beauty now holds some of my cookbooks (which were formerly in my hall closet) and some fun dishes. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! I think I literally smile every time I walk by this bright piece of sunshine! I also scored the great window at the Wild Hare Flea Market for $20 last month.
The rooster is the rooster from my Grandmothers kitchen on her ranch (that is sadly not there anymore), it was the first thing I saw coming up the steps to the kitchen when we'd come visit and holds a dear place in my heart and now it has a new home!
