a perfect union!

I am thrilled with how this turned out.  Really, really thrilled.  It feels great that it turned out even better than I had hoped, especially after the china cabinet recently felt a little off.

The details on both of these pieces are perfect.  Don't you love the trim on the dresser?

I went with the oil rubbed bronze pulls that I used on my free-to-me credenza.  I'm so glad I did!

I filled it with things that are special to me.  Two of the items, the framed prints & the box purse, belonged to my husband's grandmother.  I thought she was such a special lady, and I am proud to have some of her things in my home now.

I think I have a buyer for the china cabinet, so I am holding off on changing the back of it for now.  I did fill it with some beautiful, darker things so that helped a lot.  Thanks so much for your suggestions! One of the oil paintings (the one on the top, if you can see it through all the shadows & reflections) was something my mother-in-law and I found at an antiques store on Tybee Island.  The one on the bottom shelf was actually a paint-by-number that my grandfather (my dad's dad) painted!  Isn't it fabulous??

I'm off to pick up my sweet niece at preschool.  Hope you all have a great day!
