The 4 corners of my living room


Hello my prittis,

As you all know, I am obsessed with antiques and decorating my house with unique and affordable stuff!
Well, this Saturday I attended the annual Spring Antique Show! (see theovalley.blogspot.com post)
And low and behold, I found a great cabinet that was missing in my living room. You know to store cook books, CDs, blankets, table cloths... all that good stuff!

I was missing something on one of the walls in my living room, but now it's complete... well kind of... I now need to save up for an area rug, and maybe slap on a coat of paint!

I set it up yesterday, as soon as I brought it in the house. I'm so proud of it because it's technically my first true antique! It's from the 1800's and it hasn't been repainted, just sanded down a bit on the edges to give it the stressed look. It's also from North America, which means it's not imported from Europe, which I guess gives it more value. That's what the salesman said anyway!

Without further ado.... here is my cabinet!
