In the middle....and...After

I couldn't just post an "After" picture of my china cabinet without documenting the "Middle," which took lots of time and effort....even with the extra hands from my sweet hubby. He came to my rescue several times during the paint job when I wanted to throw the paint brush out the window!


Drum roll please...................................................................................!!!

And, here you have the "After."  I hate that my photography is so terrible. You can barely tell that the china cabinet is a different color from the wall, but I promise it is! Wall paint is ballet white by Benjamin Moore and the china cabinet paint is Blue Gray by Farrow and Ball. I swear it looks FAB in person :)



Here is a close up of the top portion that shows off more of my Christmas decor...mercury glass combined with Christmas tree branches and red berries.


My favorite thing about this china cabinet? Well, it was a wedding gift to my grandparents over 70 years ago! Three paint jobs later, a new city, another wedding and one more couple who lives happily ever after...
