So since 2013 I've been working as a designer in a furniture store and not home much and not blogging much.During that time all my projects got put on hold around the house except for HAVE TOprojects. Now that I'm once again between full time gigs...it's time to confront all that needs to be done here.I bought that little chest above two years ago because it was just the right size to go by the front door.I wanted something not very deep but wide enough to fill that wall.Oh...I could've bought this in a creamy white finish that would have gone very well with my decor but it was three times the price in that finish. So I bought the version on sale for $130 planning on painting it myself. Here it is still waiting to be painted two years later.  I am thinking of painting it similar in style to this. I don't know where this image came from I've had saved on my phone a long time.A year ago Kirklands had this version of the same cabinet in a natural wood finish. I would have been happy with this finish but it was around $400 and that's not in the budget and now they don't have it any more. I'd rather an antique piece in this spot but antique pieces are always deeper. This one is only 12 inches deep.It's just the right size by the door. Oh...that burgundy color looks so bad. When Mom saw it she loved it and said I should not paint it. But I hate it so it's getting painted.I started to strip and paint the wood work in this room and never got back to it.That is a prio...
