this old farmhouse was in the need for some new old junk

GOOD EVENING I HAVE BEEN FEELING UNDER THE WEATHER THIS WEEK SO HAVE STAYED HOME AND THOUGHT I WOULD SWITCH OUT SOME FURNITURE !
THIS OLD FARMHOUSE DOES NOT STAY THE SAME TOO LONG BEFORE GETTING A REDO !
I PICKED UP A GREAT OLD FILE STYLE CUPBOARD AT MY DEAR FRIEND POLLY'S YARD SALE LAST WEEK I KNEW I WANTED IT IN MY KITCHEN BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK BESIDE MY OLD DESK SO THE OLD DESK HAD TO GO ! A DESK I FOUND ON CRAIGSLIST WAS THE PERFECT FIT !
I ALSO FOUND THIS GREAT CUPBOARD ALONG THE ROAD IT WAS A DARK UGLY STAIN BUT WITH A FRESH COAT OF WHITE PAINT AND SOME NEW GLASS KNOBS IT WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED FOR STORAGE IN MY FAMILY ROOM!
MY FAVORITE FIND IS THIS WONDERFUL FRENCH END TABLE THE CHIPPY PAINT WAS THE PERFECT COLOR ! I HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT MATCHES IT JUST NOT SURE IF I CAN FIND A HOME FOR IT
OH MY I ALMOST FORGOT I GOT A NEW (USED) SOFA FOR MY LIVING ROOM AND A COFFEE TABLE FOR MY FAMILY ROOM ! SO LOVE TO SWITCH THINGS AROUND !
HAVE A GREAT WEEK !

  1. Ohmigosh Janet!! When I'm sick at home, I don't do a thing!! I milk it for all it's worth!! lol!!

    No seriously, you have outdone yourself with all these wonderful new things for your farmhouse!! I just love your home.....it's like a magazine spread! Every corner, every vignette! I just feel so at home and love all the eye candy everywhere I turn!

    It all looks wonderful! The desk is perfect, and I'm so glad the {heavy} file cabinet is working out for you!! Thanks for coming to my garage sale!!

  4. Hi Janet. I live in Granville as well. I have a cabinet that looks very similar to the third picture. Mine isn't painted.....yet.....I may have to do that soon.
