A Cabinet makeover and a successful day at Patine



Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all having a great week!
I wanted to share a few pictures of a cabinet that is getting a mini makeover.
I have had this cabinet for almost 4 years and haven't painted the inside yet.
I am not sure why it took me so long to start this project.
It is almost finished,
so I feel comfortable showing you the before pictures!
I am really happy with how it is turning out.


I also wanted to show you a few pictures of some of the items I bought when I went to Patine on Saturday.
You will not believe what they were giving away every half hour!


I couldn't believe it.
When you walk into the door you get a raffle ticket.
I went with my daughter so we each got a raffle ticket.
Dani told me they were doing a giveaway every half hour.
I was there almost two hours before I realized what they were giving away!
Pillows made from french ticking!
Guess who won one!
ME!
Thanks Eric and Dani!
This is the pillow I won and it will be going into my boys room.
A lot of you have requested that I show you pictures of my boys room, well
hopefully by the end of the summer my boys room will be completed, and then I will show you pictures of their room, I promise!


Then they had these beautiful Euro Shams for just $10.00 a piece.


These are the three euro shams I picked out.
I wanted them to all be different styles.
I bought them for my bedroom.
I will show you a better picture of all three of them when my bedroom is finished.


I love the color of this french ticking.


Here is a picture of Lauren, Eric, and Dani at Patine.



I took a few pictures of their store for all of you like I promised!
It was really worth the three hour drive.










I am so glad I went!
I hope you are all having a great week.

  35. Ticking all by itself is fabulous, add "free" to the mix and it's out-of-this-world! Talk about right place at the right time. :-)

  39. Dear Maria,
    What a fantastic shop. I am now stamping my feet in the style of a two year old child and shouting 'I want to go there '!!!!!!!
    How great to have won a gorgeous cushion as well. I think that you definitely deserved that, as you made such an effort to drive such a long way.
    I love the white monogrammed cushion as well....just beautiful.
    I am so looking forward to seeing yours and the boys bedrooms.
    Have a lovely week, Maria. XXXX

  41. Gorgeous cabinet, can't wait to see your finished product.

    Looks like you had a great time shopping. Your finds are perfect!

  42. I'm going to try and visit their store this summer. I think it is about a 3 hr. drive for me too. I really like the gentleness of Patine's style and how Dani dresses.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I agree with the above commenter gals, you are just a magnet for finding the best shoppes & stuff! :)) Those pillows are sooo good looking!! I love the body pillow especially because it's one of my fave colours: sun-bleached blue! Their shop looks really lovely. And your cabinet - is not complete?!! It looks incredible already, but I can understand your need to fix it a little more. Can't wait to see the after post!
    XO-Lara
