I'M BLUE...

WITH ALL THIS RAIN THAT NJ IS GETTING , IM IN A BLUE MOOD. SO I DECIDED TO REDO THIS OLD
RUSTIC MEDICINE CABINET IN A
COOL BLUE TONE...

HERE SHE IS BEFORE...


I TOOK HER COMPLETLY APART. THE BACK WAS IN BAD SHAPE AND I DIDN'T
LIKE THAT IT CAME DOWN LOWER THAN THE CABINET. SO I CUT A NEW PIECE OF THIN BOARD
 FOR THE BACK THE SIZE I WANTED AND MOUNTED IT. WHEN I PAINTED IT I STILL WANTED THE RUSTIC LOOK SO I DISTRESSED
IT AND ALSO DESTRESSED THE HINGES.

AND HERE SHE IS IN
HER NEW BLUE SHADE...







IT'S VERY HARD TO TAKE A PICTURE OF
OF ANYTHING THAT HAS A MIRROR...
THE GLASS AND WROUGHT IRON PIECES ARE
ALSO FROM THE THRIFT STORE


SO DO YOU THINK ITS A HIT
OR A MISS?

    Don't be blue! Not when the cabinet turned out so pretty. And I adore that Carribean shade on the table that's on your side bar.

    That blue is such a great shade. Nice pick, and great job with the whole piece. I love the merchandising you've done with it as well. Very cool.
