So actually this is probably an old medicine cabinet or something but to me it is my teacup cabinet!
I got this years ago on Ebay. It used to be a dark cream color. When I moved to this house I was in the mode of painting everything white. It was like a new start for us, a clean start. The kids and my husband were getting concerned I may paint them white! :) So after painting it white it looked like this--
So you will notice the slight differences from now--that I think make a big impact.
A blog I visit had a livingroom painted the most beautiful color. I e-mailed her and she told me it was Martha Stewart's River Mist. I am one that can be happy with just a little bit of something. Like right now I don't have the time or money to paint my entire livingroom River Mist but I figured I could get a sample of it and paint the inside of my little teacup cupboard. Did you know Home Depot sends out samples with free shipping? I thought that is pretty awesome and I got my sample within a couple days.
I just love this color, it makes me happy! This is my favorite little teacup, beside a picture of my daughter and my Mother in law. I know, my Mother in law doesn't look like a Grandma. She is a pretty lady.
Another thing I thought I would share today is this framed needlepoint I got the other day at Goodwill.
When I got it it was $2.99 "as is" because of a piece broken off the frame. On the back it says "To Winnie, From Mom 1955" I thought it was so sweet!
You can see that broken piece would be a deal breaker for a lot of people, but for me it just added to its charm. Here is how it looks now...
The coloring looks so good with my wall color and it is hanging by the backdoor...where I go out to look at my real roses in a couple months!
To end this post, a picture of Wyatt with Lacie. I always wanted girls and I am so happy now that I had my sweet sons! (of course, I'm so happy to have my 2 girls too..I'm just a lucky Mom!)

I love your sweet tea cup cabinet. It's just perfect to hold your special tea cups, plates and a photo. I like the way you distressed it too. Very pretty.

OMG!! I just LOVE your teacup cabinet! And love what you have done with it ~ beautiful!!
While out doing some grocery shopping today I stopped at 2 local Goodwill stores, and found a couple of things to bring back home with me...I'll have to do a post with my finds tomorrow ~ Isn't Goodwill just the BEST place to find fantastic treasures! Love the gorgeous rose needlepoint you found, and it does look lovely with the frame painted white (but then doesn't everything, lol :)
Have a great up-coming weekend!
Warmest hugs, Brenda
I love your vintage tea cup cabinet! I have a small white cabinet I bought at Home Goods (Marshall's) but it isn't as lovely as yours. I have thought about putting tea cups in it but right now it is in my bathroom sitting on our soaking tub ledge.
Lovely, just lovely. I have a bad habbit of forgetting that I can paint those great second hand items, when I'm shopping. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm having a Launch Party Giveaway at my blog, please feel free to stop by and enter. I'd love your expert advice. Thanks and happy painting!
