This One is for Keeps!

As you may know I've been doing more and more furniture recently, largely due to the fact that I now have space in which to store it.

I've been quietly looking for a china cabinet for myself over the last few months, and look what I found last week!

I can't believe I found a mid-century cabinet! I thought for sure I'd end up with an antique one, as thats mostly what I see. This one is teak too-joy!

Obviously there's nothing in it yet, there is a shelf that sits in the middle as well, but I'm still in the process of cleaning it. I'm guessing it has never been cleaned and sat in a room where people smoked indoors, because I've already used a full roll of paper towel, several rags and a half a bottle of cleaning product on it, and still it's nowhere near clean. Aargh!

I also picked up this little beauty, a mid-century planter box. I have vague memories of this type of piece from when I was child but I can't place it. If any of my readers are familiar with these, please comment and tell me what you know.

Apologies for the dodgy photos, obviously this is far too big for me to lug around for a better photographic background than under my house. As you can see the LHS is like a trough, the gilt-edged black piece simply lifts off and has empty space underneath.

On another note, I now have 50 followers, yay! A big welcome to all my new followers, and thanks to everyone who's stuck with me from early on. Another giveaway is coming soon!
