All dressed up

....And im not talking about me dressing myself up to go on a Hot Valentines Date with Josh ;) -This weekend, other than digging down deep to my inner history-nerdy-Goddess, I went ahead and worked on adding some items to my newly $20 cabinet redo. I figured a week of looking at a bare space and seeing a sad little cabinet with nothing dressing it up, was long enough.

The cost? Nothing on my expense. I just used items I already had within the house!

Of course I had to add some glass jars ;) The shells were collected from the beach one weekend. The tray was actually a yellow/burnt orange color originally. It came with a sushi set that Josh had bought a few years ago. I went ahead and used some of the Valspar Brushed Nickel spray paint I had from spraying the handles of the cabinet, and gave it a new coat of 'color'.

The ceramic Horse head I had bought at Old Time Pottery last Summer and up until now it's been in my car, still wrapped up in the bag [I seriously forgot I had even bought it lol]. Of course I loooove Horses, so im happy to be displaying it on the new cabinet :)

The photo I printed off of Vintage Printable [Free!!] using some of my photo paper and the frame I already had. The other frame behind the print used to be a brown and gold color so I spray painted it with Valspar glossy white and put a bamboo mat inside instead of a photo, to add some texture.

The mirror Josh had bought me for Christmas. Up until now it's been sitting in my closet in the bedroom. I was originally going to put it [in] the bedroom but figured this space would work best.

And there is the completed space with the new cabinet redo. I really like how it all came together and it really adds character to the entire living room. This little space has inspired me with wanting to do more thrifting and possibly even some antiquing! 

  

Happy Belated Valentines Day! :)
