Tea Curio

A few weeks ago Maddie and I were in Value Village, and we saw this Curio cabinet  for 14.99. We thot' it would be perfect for her teacup collection.... a little paint and some love, we'd see what we could do with it.


got the trusty sander out, and went to work......

finishing touches on the sanding... weird how the wood all looked burnt underneath??

my friend at work told me to rub a candle on the edges so that we went to distress the edges after it would be really easy for the paint to come off.


ready to paint....

and voila.... good as new ( as old ) again ! It turned out pretty kewl... and the candle trick! Awesome tidbit of helpful knowledge!
unfortunately....it's full already! Those are all Maddie's teacups and teapots that she has been collecting on her own.
Nana and Papa got Maddie a tea set for her birthday, it has 2 matching teapots!!

some closeups, of her collection

I told her she can't get anymore now...lol the shelves are full!
