A little paint

Garage sales are a lot of fun.  But so are resale shops.  I've been more faithful to the resale shops than the garage sales in the past year, sadly, just due to being busy most mornings.  Garage sales close pretty early, it seems, or the good stuff is gone right away.  But there are still things at the resale shops in the afternoons!

Last spring I found a corner cupboard used and for a deal.  It has some dated hand painted flowers along the top, but I like it the way it is.  I don't have the heart (YET) to paint over some nice lady's work.  However, the inside was painted cream, like the outside, and it needed a little something.  Since one of our focus walls is painted Fandango Red, I thought I'd try that to give the inside some punch.

It was a really easy way to tie it into the rest of the house's decor.  Someday this winter I'm sure I'll break down and repaint the whole cupboard.  But for now, it'll do.
Plates and chickens back inside.
I might line the doors with chicken wire
if I repaint the whole thing.

Before second coat.
I think the color is good.
