Tall Cabinet

In between designing Christmas cards for one of my besties, and doing everything else that needs to be done, I started putting things in the tall cabinet. It needs a shelf on the top part, but Ben says I can have a piece of glass cut to fit. In the meantime, I put some little halogen Christmas lights in the top. The glass is waved vertically on the outside of the pane and horizontally on the inside to make an almost basket-weave pattern.
Right now, I am storing dry dogfood in an old enamel pail, wet dogfood in a copper pot and then all of my coffee-making accoutrements, including the stove-top espresso maker, the french presse and the milk frother, on the counter section. I haven't yet decided what goes in the two drawers or the lower cabinet. That fun is still to come!

  3. The cabinet looks great, you work quick. I'm sure they would have sat in my garage for a month before they made their way into the house, especially so close to Christmas.

  8. Isn't it true when you want to do something you just do it! Great job and it will be fun tweaking your top decor seasonally if you like.

  12. I really like your cabinet also. Any plans to paint it? Not, for any reason, that the current paint color would not due. I've just gotten on this car paint kick and was suddenly seeing your cabinet painted in a variety of different colors. Keep the pulls.
