When we moved into our house last year, I found this old cabinet in the basement.
I thought it would be fun to fix it up and use it in my kitchen. Not having lived in snow country before, I dragged in outside in mid-November and began stripping the paint. Needless to stay, it snowed the next week. In fact, it was the worst winter this area had seen in over 50 years. We had snow until April, so I had to put my little project on hold.
We're not quite finished with it yet, but here's a picture of what we've done so far. The cabinet will divide our kitchen area from the dining area. I'll place barstools on the other side of it.
I love the linoleum that the previous owners used for shelf liners.
And this will be the finishing touch. My husband found this on Craigslist. This red Formica table with metal trim will be used as the counter top! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!!

That is adorable. I love curtains on things. My red food storage shelf has a velcroed curtain that covers up the food. I've left projects out during the winter too... lol. I once had a table ruined beyond repair because of an unexpected snowstorm :(
Oooooh! That is going to be super cute - love the counter top too! :) Great job!
I came back to finish looking around...Wow! You do a great job. I bet you just love to be in your kitchen!
Your house gets cuter by the day Jen!
Beautiful. Oh this would look perfect in my kitchen too. I have a red aqua theme going. I love how you left the original linoleum. Very classy.
I'm so happy FOR you! The cabinet is really great and the top will be perfect. Cute.

My Kitchen is Green and my WHOLE HOUSE accent color is red!
