My Favorite Cupboard


It's already Thursday, this week flew by. Today I moved my favorite cupboard from one side of our dining room to another. When we first moved into our house, I moved this up from the basement. It was the original kitchen cupboard in our house. Tom's grandma moved it to the basement where she kept all her canning goods in it. We had to refinish it because it was pretty nasty looking. We had a heck of a time getting it out of the basement. It has had different purposes through the years. At one point we had it in our living room and stored the kids toys in it.


I emptied everything out of it and I want to put all my rug hooking stuff in it. Don't know if I'll fold the wool up or leave in baskets. We'll see, I want to fit as much stuff in it as possible.
Have a great evening!

    I love your cabinet! Was thinking of something along those lines for storing my wool. I'll be keeping my eyes open for just such a piece at antique shops.

    I can see why it is your fave... it is really lovely. And I love that it belonged to Tom's grandma -- I really enjoy surrounding myself with family items!
    Thanks for sharing... I love it!!

    Gosh, how beautiful. I'd love to find a cabinet like this. How fortunate to have it passed down through the ages. Have fun decorating it!

    That is such a beautiful piece, I love the panel doors. It really makes a statement! Hope you show us a picture after your wool is inside! Great history to go along with it!

    Love the cupboard and the fact that it is a family piece. Possibilities are endless with its usage. Enjoy arranging your hooking and wool supplies. It's a beauty no matter what you store in it
