{small buffet for our small space}

I love our home even though the kitchen and dining space are not ideal. I am constantly trying to find ways to stay organized and functional while still having something great to look at. I thought this island would help with storage....

and it did...but it always looked junky. {don't worry, this is not wear it was placed in the room - this is just where it landed to have it's photo taken for the local yardsale site once I replaced it - read more}

A few years back, my sister gave me this cabinet - {you missed the ugly hardware that were on it}

And I figured I could revamp it to replace the open storage unit that I was currently using. So, I picked a color and started painting. This is the result.

I kept the original round knobs on the cabinet doors because they had a nice patina...I also kep the hinges that matched.

I had a couple of pulls that matched the hardware on my kitchen cabinetry {which was just what I  needed to replace the VERY 1970's ones that were on the drawer before....

I was quite please with the result...AND THE AMOUNT OF NEW STORAGE I HAVE - that is NOT visible to visitors!

NO Sis - you can't get your cabinet back now!
