Vintage silverware, makeover and an old counter

I love pretty vintage silverware that has beautiful

designs and I found this silverware for a *song*.

{sure seems like I sing a lot doesn't it...lol}

It was very grimy looking so I polished it up and was

amazed at how beautiful it is.

I also picked up this wooden box at a garage sale several

years ago. It was burgundy in color so this past summer

I painted it white. Next I added pieces of vintage wallpaper

to the inside. I then gave the wallpaper two or three coats

of Matte Mod podge.

Love how it turned out, but now I need to get some

little wooden feet for it yet.

Sorry for the flash in some of the pictures. One of these

days I will learn how to take better ones...I hope!

I fell in love with this antique counter the moment I

saw it. It would be just perfect for my kitchen...except

for one teensy little problem...the price.lol.

Look at the detail work...amazing!

I love the back of it, the color, the size... so I asked hubby if we could make one a lot cheaper and he said *most definitely*. {he builds cabinets and can make most anything}

This is now on my list of things*to do* things when Spring/Summer comes. We shall see if it actually gets accomplished or not. I always have these grand ideas and sometimes the time just isn't there to bring them to fruition. {Now I need to take measurements before it is

whisked away to stay in someone else's home}

Have a blessed Saturday~
