Dining Room Bump Up - Day 1

I like this room. 

It's just fine (like the "I'm fine" I say to my husband 

sometimes when "I'm not") but I think it needs a little tweaking.

For the next week or so I'm going to make this my project.

First, this curio cabinet.  My husband gave it to me last Christmas.  He'd have given me anything I wanted to house the  

crystal that belonged to his grandmother.

I wanted an antique but I never found anything that would fit 

so this is what I ended up with.  It's nice, it's just a little 

"cookie cutter" for me.  Do I paint it? I already have 

one painted piece in the room but, maybe.  I am tempted.  

But, for now I'm going to try something a little less drastic 

and line the inside with paper for starters.  

Here's the before.....

Boring...

Here's the paper...

I think fabric would have worked as well.

And the after.....

I love the paper.  It's scrapbook paper I attached 

with spray adhesive.  I've used this type of paper before (a different pattern) and I liked the look there as well.  

I think it gives this new cabinet I built from pine a 

vintage look and I like vintage...

Tomorrow, I think I'll tackle this bare chain on the chandelier.
