Fab or Foolish?
Some men would cringe at the thought….painting wood….especially brand new out-of-the-box wood furniture!!!
My dear husband doesn’t mind at all…in fact, he is the one who paints everything around the house, ….like the old cane chairs….with great patience
For many years we had a cupboard in our dining room which matched our dining table which was just, …well it was just a cupboard. Time for a change!
We visited a furniture outlet store and measured carefully to find a sideboard which would fit between the windows, and this was the one.Although the tag said we were buying a floor sample, ours came unopened and new.
A few days later…voila!
It’s been fun dressing the top for fall
If you noticed the brick wall in the photo of the unpainted sideboard above, I have a notion to whitewash it, to tone it down somewhat, and I must admit I am a bit hesitant. Stay tuned!

Love that wicker chair! And what a difference in the cabinet after it's been painted white! You have it dressed up so prettily for Autumn too. My hubby has no problem with painting wood either. I think your brick would look fabulous white-washed. I'm so happy you have shared this at my HOME and I wish you and your family a Very Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
Blessings,

What a lovely fall arrangement you've created.

So nice to meet another fellow Canadian! I think you're the first blogger I've met from the great province of Manitoba!
Your new white cabinet is beautiful, crisp and clean! Okay, I admit, I am a little biased, as I adore white, (my kitchen cabinets, shutters and windows are all painted white), but it really does look fresh and wonderful, as does that charming cane chair!
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!
