Our NEW Media Cabinet

Due to the pregnancy...the awful 24/7 nausea to be specific...several projects have been on hold for the past few months.  Now that the nausea is easing up a bit, I'm starting to get some things done.  Awhile back my mom gave us the 'country cabinet' (as we affectionately call it) and I had great plans to re-do the doors and paint/distress it.  It was going to look amazing...but it never got done.  It sat there in all it's country glory, but it was ok b/c it wasn't a focal point in the room...just some storage off to the side.  Then last Christmas we got a new recliner and had to move it...right next to the fireplace for all the world to see.  It served a purpose but it was big and the hearts just aren't my style.  Fast forward to April...while out driving, the girls and I spot a HUGE yard sale.  I be-bop myself right on over and find the perfect little cabinet to replace the country cabinet.  I knew exactly what color I wanted it and knew I could find some perfect knobs at Hobby Lobby.  For $30, that cabinet was MINE!

The "country cabinet".  Aren't those hearts just fabulous!?!

 

The perfect knobs at Hobby Lobby!  And BONUS!  They were 50% off!  Snagged 2 of these beauties for $5 total!!!  Sorry the picture is fuzzy!!!

Got it home and got the 2 coats of paint on.  Had my knobs and had my polycrylic waiting to go.  Then, it hit.  The lovely nausea.  So there sat my perfect new cabinet in the garage for the next few months.  July 4th weekend we stayed in town due to an illness in the family and since we were home, we decided to work on some projects.  I busted out my cabinet and got to work.  2 days later, it found it's new home in our living room and we LOVE it!!!  It's prefect!  It doesn't compete with the fireplace & TV anymore and adds a fun pop of color!  And it only cost $35 total (I used paint I already had and used a gift card for my polycrylic)!!!!

 Not the best picture but my baby is in it so that makes it cute!

Little by little the living room is coming together...FINALLY!!  See the lovely red brick?  It's days are numbered.  It will be antique white soon and I hope the walls will be next!!!
