Stash Cabinet - Kentucky Sampler Inspired and HRH CM progress

I am so giddy! Yesterday I was at Roller Rink Antique Mall and I came across the sweetest cabinet. Funny how it hit me when I saw it. A while back in December (12/20/11)  and in January (1/23/12) Peggy at kentuckysampler.blogspot.com posted  pictures of a beautiful, large cabinet she bought for her stash. When I saw this cabinet yesterday, I was immediately drawn to it and thought I could use this as a stash cabinet.  Our Gambrel is a small but quaint home; it was the perfect size to fit in my stitching closet. Eventually it will go in my stitching room, once the Navy Girl moves her things out (someday).

I made my small under $10 purchase of this sign,

  I know my husband was impressed that 

 I was brave enough to bring home.

 I told the hubby that I wanted to take him to the Roller Rink to show him what I found and get his "approval". :-) So after our trip to the "dump" (transfer & recycle station) we took the scenic route to the antique mall. It was a beautiful drive this morning with all the trees covered in snow.

He liked it too and the 30% discount didn't hurt either. I showed him a really, really nice secretary that I absolutey love, wish that could have come home with us too! It is has got so much character!

May need to work on that, going back tomorrow to give it another look see.

I am just so thrilled with this piece and it matches my drawer cabinet we bought a few years ago.

A little fuzzy

Love the worn corners, adds character

Isn't that just the sweetest latch....

Check out the hinges and the tones of the wood

Glamour shot, just the right size.

It will hang out in the master bedroom until the reorganization of the rooms takes place.

Progress Report!!

This was my start on Block Two (aka Governer's Palace)

Keep on stitching.
