my new vintage kitchen cabinet








A colleague's mother-in-law recently went into an old-age home
and I got to pick whatever "old, musty stuff" I wanted. The other
half and I hired a ute and had to make two trips. :D

Above is a snippet of what we collected. We also scored an old stereo,
a china cabinet, cushions, prints, mirrors, blankets, ornaments, doilies... 
I feel so blessed  to be able to cherish what was once cherished by someone
else. I promise to take very good care of it all.
