DINING ROOM FURNITURE UPDATE...ANOTHER RUSTIC CABINET

 

Where there is one good rustic cabinet...there are many! Just 2 weeks  after finding the cabinet I put in the 2nd floor alcove (you can see it here), I went back to my favorite Home Goods store (in Kingston NY) looking for baskets...and I came across this!

  

 

Trust me when I say, I try to pace myself with large purchases, but this I could not pass up...

It was not as inexpensive as the last one...but it was not bad at $769 plus $120 for delivery...

This rustic cabinet is solid wood, very heavy and it has beautiful glass doors. The finish is very distressed with small patches of dark navy, brown and a tiny bit of green...

I like the fact that it is dark wood,  because it will layer well with the farm table I plan on buying which is on the light side...and I don't want any of the dining room furniture to match, just complement each other...

 For now I will use it as a sideboard in the dining room to store all the dinnerware, wine glasses and water pitchers etc...we don't use everyday...

Here is the before and after:

 

 

 

 

and side by side

 

 

The rug you see was moved over from the living room as it covers this area much better...I will try to find an over sized rug for the living room...right now I'm looking for a 15'x20'...

 

Now all I have left to do for this room is find the table, chairs...maybe a bench...and drapes...and we'll be done...It sounds so easy doesn't it?
