Moving Up

Excuse me, ma'am, you want us to put it

where?

The theme for this week's Saturday Nite Special at Funky Junk Interiors is

repurposed furniture, and here's my entry.

It started out as your basic mass produced buffet from, I don't know, the 40's?  It was passed around our family until it landed in the basement of our previous house where it held art supplies and games.  About 10 years ago, I painted it white and added bin pulls to match our kitchen hardware.

Purchased from Van Dyke's Restorers.

We then moved the buffet upstairs to our walk-in pantry to house canned goods, kitchen linens, and small kitchen appliances.  I removed a 70's faux wood shelving system from the wall above it and replaced the shelving with this top from an old kitchen cupboard.

When I bought this cupboard, it was already stripped of its original finish

and missing its glass door inserts and hardware.

                         

 I made leaded glass panels with textured glass to hide the contents of the cupboard

 and added a new latch, also from Van Dyke's.

When we moved to our current home, there wasn't a spot for this piece on the main floor,

 but I really didn't want to get rid of it.  So when the movers asked where to put it,

 I told them to bring it upstairs to the master bedroom. 

Most of my clocks fit on this shelf.

Forgotten treasures fill the small drawers.

There's room for 2 lamps on top......

and plenty of storage space for clothes and extra bedding.

There's even a place of honor way up high for you-know-who.

So there you have it.  My dining room buffet and kitchen cupboard

repurposed to the master bedroom.

Thanks for stopping by,

Vickie
