Our New Linen Cabinet :)

Yesterday, we added a new piece to our bedroom - our restored pie safe, which we will use as a linen cabinet. :)
We bought this pie safe at a garage sale a few weeks ago, thanks to a tip from our good friends, Betsy and Dan. It definitely needed a lot of work (considering it wouldn't stand on it's own when we brought it home) but this weekend, after lots of hard work, we were finally able to finish our pie safe project! :)

And After:

Since the wood was very worn, we decided to do a true shabby chic look to embrace the character flaws of the cabinet :)


I bought some crystal glass hardware to add knobs to the doors

As a little surprise, we painted the inside a light blue :)
Just something fun when you open the doors.

Whit and I had so much fun working on this together in our garage on Sunday afternoon - we listened to some music, picked up a paintbrush and in the midst of all the fun, were able to finish another project! :)
