This is one of those pieces that I've had for ever and ever, and have put to use in a variety of ways.
(my thought to take a *before* shot was a little late)
Most recently it housed VHS tapes at Melissa's house, but as usual; when she was done with it she called me-- "Mom, would you come buy and pick this up?" I've been wanting to put together a little wardrobe station for the girls. At 3 1/2 Kadence just loves playing dress up, and I'm pretty sure Madison will, too. I pick up dresses when I come across them at the local thrift shops. I spent the better part of yesterday refashioning this cabinet into a wardrobe and here's what I came up with
Sweet vintage wallpapers inside and out
How I figured to get those nailed in shelves out of there--I pulled out my trusty jigsaw, sliced through them on the short/front to back length, then just did kind of a karate chop to break them out. It's not perfect but I think they'll like it!
My next project is a wood cabinet with many cubby holes that I got at the thrift shop yesterday for $8.99. I hope to get it all cleaned up and filled with fabric soon. If it turns out well I'll share pics of that, too.
Hope you're enjoying early Spring weather wherever you are! :-)
Wow! That alphabet quilt is amazing! Is it your own pattern or from a book? I want to make it! Granted, it would take me years but, I want to make it. Can you help me please?
