Going Gray

August 25, 2010 by Cassie 24 Comments

I am not yet going gray luckily, but this little cabinet is! I bought this old music cabinet at the most fantabulous yard sale a couple weeks ago for $2. I mean, really, what can you get for $2 these days? Not even a gallon of milk!

I loved its original hardware and sweet curvy legs, and great storage. I wanted to give it an edgier feel, so I went with Sherwin Williams Peppercorn again. I wasn’t sure if I would distress it, but decided that if I did the hints of white underneath (from the primer) would really highlight its curvy legs and drawer. Here it is now… I love it and hope it goes to a good home, because if it doesn’t, I may find a place for it!

Oh, and in unrelated hair news, I do have a haircut tomorrow night (no color as I am not graying!) and this is the cut I am going for. (Thank you Alice Cullen from Twilight for modeling the ‘do). I can’t wait!

    Very cute and sassy…the cabinet and the new ‘do! I love that you distressed the cabinet only to the primer, not all the way down to the wood. It really makes the details pop! And I can’t wait to see the new hair!

    Love the grey you chose for that cabinet. Haircuts are the best. They can make you feel like a whole new woman. Can’t wait to see.
