Can you believe it? Here we are already checking off #2! How exciting is this?
I will admit – I’m a little proud of myself. Not that it was a difficult project by any means. The ones we put off the longest often aren’t.
I’d like to say it was a tricky one because I had to find something that was extremely hard to find. Maybe some vintage or antique item that needed to be matched or a reproduction replacement found. Unfortunately that would be a lie.
All I needed was paint and a paintbrush.
I already had both.
Remember the original list Emily and I shared with you on our blog post 5 On Friday: Our 5 Most Nagging Unfinished Projects ?
You might recall this sweet looking specimen from that post. Yup!
Let’s just say I suddenly got an urge for an open cabinet, removed the doors, primed the inside and there it sat.
Time for that to be a thing of the past.
I know, right? What a difference 2 coats of paint makes?
Yup, I’d be ashamed of myself if I wasn’t so proud of myself right now ๐
It’s fairly empty right now because I’m enjoying just styling it slowly with specific items as they feel right for the space and mostly this is for my ironstone.
Perhaps I should confess now that I have a habit of using my ironstone in random places around my home as part of my decor so sometimes this cabinet has a lot of empty places.
And then there is the lesson I’m trying to teach my kids that you don’t get things unless you have a spot for them so I kind of needed an empty spot so I can seriously collect more ironstone.
See what I did there? And you thought I was just doing some spring cleaning?
Okay before I share all my tricks at once, let’s go see what Emily got to check off her list this week!
Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting. I really appreciate you spending time with me and love to read your comments.
Tara, I love the open cabinet!! Such a fun way to add pretty, yet functional decor!! Looks amazing!

Thanks Emily! It’s nice to finally have it looking like it was supposed to long ago . All my own fault, I know. Especially since I have some major changes coming to my kitchen in the near future!
