    Went to a flea market a few weeks ago. Bought this beat up cabinet for $15.00. I swear if I had sneezed on it, it would of collapsed. It is now my seed and garden cabinet. For a total of $32.00

    If that goes missing one of these days, don't worry over much I'll be taking really good care of it!
    That is an amazing transformation and turned out absolutely stunning.

    Sorry folks but I'm here already and just down the road from Donna's. Shhh don't tell her I'm around as I'm going to wait until she falls asleep to purloin that beautifully transformed cabinet. ;)

    NO! no, no, no, no,no!!!! I get it I live the closest (I think). Besides that, Donna likes me the best. She is (now) my very closest and most wonderful friend in the world!!!!

    Donna, that is spectacular.

    Thanks all. Glad you liked it. It was a fun project. Now I need to start getting ready for the holidays. Gifts to make, breads to make etc. You all know the drill. And it's closer then you think.

    That is a really great repurposing Donna. I'm sure that cabinet thought its days were over and now look at it :)

    Seeds in the lap of luxury. Climate controlled, safe from searching rodents and birds. What more could a seed ask for? Springtime!! This is what makes springtime exciting in Donna's garden……pampered seeds. :)

    Absolutely super, Donna.
    It was a good find as it was before you "re-did" it...but now it is a really impressive piece of work.

    Chapeau!

    Wow what a super find and job you did on refurbishing it. You are one busy person. I always look for bargans when I am out shopping during the year to give as Christmas gifts. Makes shopping for the holidays so much easier. I have a cabinet that I store them all in so I don't loose track of them. I love the color you painted it. What is the name of it? :stew1:
