It took 3 coats of Benjamin Moore Symphony Blue. There are still a few white streaks but only on close inspection. For reference, the lower kitchen cabinets (11 drawers and 7 cabinets) plus this cabinet took approximately a half gallon of paint.
This week we picked up this lovely antique baker's table at Loot in Turners Falls, MA, and hope to raise it up (suggestions welcome!) to make it an island. We have a butcher block top from Freecycle that is the same width but longer to give extra prep area. What got me on this table is the flour bin. I'd been searching online for plastic flour bins hoping we could figure out some way to incorporate a couple into an island. All the ones that I found were much too big for home use even with us buying flour in bulk. That this one crossed our path is amazing. My husband, like his Dad, is a baker although as a hobby not a profession, and bakes our bread.
Flour bin. It fits in the empty space in the table pictured above.
We also acquired this bit of awesomeness. It is, without exaggeration, the best stereo system we've owned! We may keep it for a while, but will likely attempt to find it a forever home at some point.

8-track player with tapes, radio, and turntable.
Light up bar with mirrors, side 1.
Side 2. It's on a lazy susan type base so that it can spin around.
Last, but certainly not least, the faux fireplace with faux marble surround. It, of course, lights up.
was that a little glimmering light of hope I just read about maybe one day trying to find a forever home for the wonderment?
ReplyDeleteGreat kitchen project updates. *drooling over stereo/bar/faux fireplace* :)
