White Primitive Cabinet

It might not sound like the most romantic Valentine's Day, but it was a sunny, chilly afternoon spent with Chucks at the Metro #1 Flea Market in Columbia.


So it was special.

Especially when I spied this beauty sitting in a trailer about fifty yards away with a fellow dealer heading in from the opposite direction.

Who would get there first?

We tied.  Luckily there were two cabinets and Linda wanted the other one.

On Monday I had about forty-five minutes between sleet and rain to clean and wax this lovely white primitive cabinet.

I have no idea why the tops of the shelves are not painted, but the underneaths are.

Unless there was liner paper.

I love the bin at the top - great storage.

All it really needed was a scrubbing with Fabuloso and some Howard's Feed-N-Wax.

 The back not painted.

But had great patina after waxing.

The sides have details which reveal this was a marriage of several older pieces many years before.

The shelves are different heights.

Drops of rain and a quick trip to the back of the Blazer.

Tuesday a trip to Riverfront Antique Mall to Booth W-10.

Stocked full of enamelware and other kitchen items.

Yes, too many pics of the white primitive cabinet, but I love it so.

So much I started to keep it.

But I did not.

Restraint.

I cleaned all across the front of the booth and down two sides.

Went back today for reclaiming another chunk of real estate.

It is beginning to look like a booth again.

It was nice to come home with Chucks, Willie, Scout, Azalee, and especially Miss Peepers waiting to sit in my lap.

Well, maybe not Chucks!

Update:  After all that staging the cabinet sold the next day!



See y'all!


 

My Etsy shop is on vacation so I can clean up a bit and clear out items lingering too long.
