Old brown cupboard.....

This cupboard has a story...when we moved to the farm in the Medford area it was living in the breezeway of the barn..used for storing cow medicines of everykind. Since we had an old farmhouse kitchen I wanted to have it in there...which meant the big job of stripping it...that was almost 30 years ago. (also this cupboard was used in the house many years before as the only cupboard Aunt Dorothy had when they first moved to the farm)

I used it in the entryway at the Dorchester home and in the laundry room of the Fremont house.

When we moved to the place by Waupaca the girls said I should not put it in the house....that house was small enough there was not room...so it got stored in the garage.

WELLLL....after the fire and I bought the house in New London it came with me...I think it got put in he basement.

Since we moved into the log house in Ogdensburg it found a home in the back room.

After the new old stove got put in there was room in the kitchen for it...but she needed a new dress...so I tried to do a Shabby Chic...turned out not bad for the first time of doing this method...
