Roadside Rescue of a Cabinet--My Curby Find

I was just driving with my girls down the road

minding my own business, driving Miss S to her piano lesson,

when guess what I spied??

A treasure.

A find.

A Masterpiece.

A dirty, scroungy, moldy cabinet that, 

during the remodeling of a bathroom,

of a very old home, someone had put on the curb,

which I thought had some potential.

I slowed down and my girls groaned.

they know what this means.

This means 

I will embarrass them by getting out of the car to inspect someone else's trash.

If I want some one else's trash, 

this also means that

they will have to also get out of the car and help me put this trash in the car.

This also means 

that the back seats go down so that the find will be able come with us,

which usually has them both either squished together in the front seat,
or in the back holding onto this new treasure

so it doesn't fly out of the car.

This is exactly what happened this day.

We got the piece home and to the back deck because Beefcake 

wouldn't let me bring it in the house until it was sanitized.

It was gross and smelled funny.

But wouldn't you have brought it home, too?

I cleaned and sanitized her, 

gave her a fresh coat of paint and here she sits in the corner of the breakfast room.

She is quite useful.

Napkins and hand towels in $3.00 baskets from 

Old Time Pottery.

Dish towels and cookbooks.

One of our ways to be "green" is by using cloth napkins.

 I love turning ugly & abandoned things 

into beautiful & useful ones, 

for this is what Jesus' love has done for me!
