You saw this metal cabinet partly already. I found it from the metal trash from work, I had been looking for something like this for quite some time. It barely fit into my car, but I'm really happy it did. I'm not sure A is that happy about the cabinet. He thinks it's hideous and would fit way better into a garage or similar. A said the cabinet might be better painted white. But I don't know, I like the old, scratched look.
Anyway he did help me to break into the cabinets, only two of the doors had keys, the rest were locked. Ignore the boxes on the floor.
On the picture on top is the shelf we used to have in the entry. I found it so dull, handy yes, but so dull. So what do think, are you with me or with A?
Oh yes, and linking to
don't you dare paint it-it is PERFECT as it is. people pay a fortune for these industrial-chic kinda cabinets, especially in such a great colour
ReplyDeletei would have carried it home on my back if i'd had spotted it!
i've started hosting a second hand finds linky on tuesdays-you should link up this post and induce some cabinet envy in some other people too!
Yes! one vote for me :)
DeleteI will certainly link up to your linky party, I had not realized I could join with this.
Your old-new cabinet is so much better than the old shelf thinks I. It has more character and I think it is kind of pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI also think it's pretty! I love it.
DeleteNow two votes :)
You have a fabulous eye! I am thrilled you want to keep it as is--so much character. Such a distinctive piece. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHihhey, I'm so happy I was not alone thinking it looked good.
DeleteI love it! Sorry A, I'm on Leena's side. :)
ReplyDeleteTons of character, great color and perfect price!

I too wondered if there would be anything hidden inside, but it did not rattle or bang when we moved it so I wasn't too scared.
DeleteThanks for visiting.
Great find Leena! I love the color and like that you can see some wear and tear. It's perfectly imperfect ;)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it! I'm liking it more and more each day (just hope A would at least get used to it)
DeleteSo much better than the shelf you had before! What a great find!
