Vintage Record Cabinet and Me - Living with Color

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a huge fan of color. Obviously, turquoise is my favorite but I also love shades of red, coral, and green.  I believe color adds warmth and character to a home, style and charisma to an outfit, and overall fun to your day. Colors create feelings, a mood or a memory. This is what makes my heart happy - all these various colors and playing with them to create a look that's all mine. 



I painted this vintage record cabinet this week.  I've held onto this paper for awhile now because I knew the right piece would eventually come along.  This was it and this dark green gives the cabinet a masculine look.  The knobs are a "horn - like " material from Anthropologie.







BEFORE 

I don't have a record player or records for that matter.  I hope I know the person that buys this piece.  I bet they're way cooler than me.  Maybe they'll invite me over to listen to a record or two. ;-)

MID CENTURY MODERN CABINET

This piece of vintage Lane furniture was already great when I purchased it,
 but it did need a new finish on the top.  
So, I sanded, re-stained (look how well it matches) 
and put a fresh coat of poly on to protect it 
for many years to follow!



  How many things could you use this for? The obvious..
.to hold your records, but for the rest of us who 
don't have any, maybe a tv console? Let this fella 
hold your movies, cd's, or books. Use as a side table, 
entry table or an apartment size buffet. 
Endless possibilities...really!! 
Heavy solid wood construction.

Stay in the a/c my friends!
