Our Pioneer Homestead

The Free Curbside Cupboard~

You can't beat shopping at Curby's ! hee hee
(we knew the person who was throwing it out, and he even helped us bring it home!)

Found this wonderful old cupboard on the side of the road, and much to my surprise, when I opened it, it smelled so lovely, like cedar, and was nice and clean~

I gave it a quick wash with a grey-white paint, (it was originally brown) and left the wood on the inside as is.

I made a brown ticking apron to hang on the door.

some of the boards still have bark on them..gotta love it!

**A quick way to do the shelves- cover them in fabric!**

(I hate painting shelves)..so I covered them in brown ticking.

Now I am slowly filling it with some of my favorite things!

Currently working on having another huge sale at my shop! Stay tuned for the next 'omg 25$ SALE!!'

Have a glorious day~~~~
