I've been able to get to a couple household sales lately. Household and estate sales are my favorite and I usually end up buying stuff from the basement or garage. My neighbor and I went to a sale Wednesday and I spotted a great painted corner cabinet right away. I've always wanted one and this one was almost reasonable. I thought about it for awhile and asked how much the price went down on day 2. I could live with that price which was 30% off so I put in my name to get it on day 2 if it wasn't sold on day 1. I kicked myself all night for not just paying full price. I got a call the next morning and it was mine if I wanted it.
I wasn't even sure what I would do with it but I said yes! Someone had called the night of day 1 and wanted it and when I was picking it up a lady said she had come back to buy it. I think it works well in my living room.
It is not as cream as the picture shows but I will paint it cream. It is homemade and had a top piece I didn't like so I removed it. I love my Family sign on top of it!
I'll figure out what to put in it this weekend. I'm not sure that I like the wood inside but I'll just put scrapbook paper on the back rather than paint it for now. I think I got a great piece for $110., don't you?For more Show and Tell posts go on over to Kelli's House.

To be sure!! To be sure that was an EXCELLENT price. And it's a priceless gem of decor too!
My show n tell is all about baskets this week. I do hope you can find time to stop by! Happy weekend to you.
Great corner cupboard and a very good price!
Looks great where you have it, and you can always paint or paper the inside wood.
Have a great day!

what a fantastic find!!! You will have to do another post when you get it fixed up the way you want!
Well for that price you definitely got an amazing piece, I love the corner cupboard.
I just love corner cabinets. I think the paper in the back is a great idea.
I just adore corner cabinets (hence the one in my kitchen) and this one you got is beautiful Jean. The scrapbook paper sounds like a creative solution instead of painting. You will have to show us again once you add your personal touch to it.
Looks like it was 'built in'! Perfect fit!
What a great find! And I think you found a perfect place for it!
That's a great bargain -- those cabinets can cause at least 3 times as much. It looks great! I think the scrapbooking paper background will look great.
It is nice indeed!!! Very nice indeed.
Love the cabinet!

Oh, Jean, it's a beautiful piece. I love corner cupboards & have one in my kitchen. You will have a lot of fun decorating it with all of your collectibles.
