No matter what, the day is better if there's 🥧.
A traditional style pie safe. These type of cupboards were used to store perishable goods before refrigerators were invented and were still used well into the twentieth century. The pierced metal panels in the doors allowed ventilation but also protected the food inside from pests. Today, the cupboard would look great in any room. This pie safe is constructed from poplar wood and has two drawers above the cupboard space. The cupboard itself has two solid poplar shelves. This pie safe is painted grey, but I can repaint it any colour you like for no extra cost. H 130cm, W 88cm, D 44cm

Organization plays a big role in a house, but nowhere is it quite as important as in the kitchen. There's just so much stuff in such a small space that it's easy to become overwhelmed. Here are a bevy of project ideas: recipe storage, cookie sheet organization, spice containers and more.

Well, this here is my new (old) cupboard!! Isn't it perty!? I found it at the Christie Antique Show. It was love at first sight. I have been feeling the NEED to make changes within our home find ways to infuse a little more color Now, this here is the cupboard that my husband and I built TOGETHER last summer. I know it's story. It holds special meaning. I really needed a LARGE kitchen cupboard for our family We couldn't afford much at the time We already had these pine doors purchased from a yard sale for $3.00 that were taken off someones old cupboards. So we went out and bought more pine (which cost more than planned!) but we built this wonderful cupboard for our kitchen. I first stained it then painted it with just regular latex paint I actually mixed a few colors together that I had left over from other projects It was GREAT for all my spices & pantry items. I just loved (still love) it! I e-mailed the owner of the cupboard and asked if she still had it Or had it been sold at the antique show?? .........She still had it........... I decided the only way I could get that new one was to start by selling this one first! So the day came when I had to clean it out I had a tear in my eye and a knot in my stomach I didn't realize it would be so hard I guess because we built it together It meant more than I realized I DID cry as it drove away to it's new home. Almost a week went by before I could go get this cupboard I needed to raise more money! I sold things from my home that I had time to love for a while but could let them go. I also sewed up some of these GREAT grain sack pillows. One set I sold and the other went towards the cupboard, the woman who I was getting it from wanted them for her booth. I had pictured right away that I would fill it with Ironstone and Linens (which now I want more of because I had to take most of this from everywhere else) This exposed side has no green paint left on it I think years ago someone scraped it off. But THIS side is loaded with wonderful chippy green paint! Unfortunately I don't know the story of THIS cupboard. I wish I did! How old is it exactly? Who owned it? Where is it from? What stories could it tell? Ahh The BEAUTY of old! So here it is~starting another chapter in it's life. In it's new home. A wonderful girl gave it a lovely home. I think it looks wonderful and I hope she loves it. I miss it. I am really warming up to the change of having this new (old ) cupboard Do you love the change??

On my last post I showed you MOST of the dining area... but not all of it. There was one wall that was in progress. Since moving in 3 months...
i've been dying to share this (not so little) project i recently completed! this vintage pie safe has been in my mother's family for many years (the best i can tell from online research, it was produced in the late 1800's or early 1900's). my mom remembers having it in her house while growing up, ever since she was a little girl. they called it "the old safe". i can remember it sitting in our garage ever since i was a little girl (haha). it's where my dad kept pipe cleaners, old oil cans, etc. but even amongst the darkness and dinginess of our garage, i always loved this piece of furniture and i knew i wanted to have it in my house one day when i grew up! fast forward to me growing up and getting a house... and there i was, back on my way up to north carolina after a visit to my parent's house, with this vintage pie safe rolling safely behind me in a uhaul trailer! i could hardly wait to unload it and get started with the refinishing process! it ended up taking many more hours than i originally anticipated, but the specifics basically involve the following: i used a liquid stripper and medium steel wool to remove the old dark finish (this was undoubtedly the hardest part) sanding first with medium grit, then followed by fine grit sandpaper staining the bare wood with a light walnut stain (to maintain the woods natural beauty) painting the inside cabinets and shelves with an ivory enamel paint applying pretty new knobs and handles i picked up at world market once i got started and saw the beauty of the wood grain underneath the old dark stain, i knew this was going to look incredible! they sure don't make things like they used to (ah hem, ikea... i'm talkng to you and all of your particle board furniture). my kind, thoughtful and adorable mother recently passed down this beautiful pink depression glass that belonged to my great grandmother and my great great aunt, some clear fostoria depression glass (my grandmother's wedding china), and a gorgeous set of white china (also my grandmother's)... and i figured there would be no better place to display these family heirlooms than my newly refinished pie safe! it looks so beautiful in our dining room... just how i envisioned it would look one day when i was a little girl! here's a few pictures from beginning to end: this is how it stood in my parent's garage for years. i started with the top, and became so excited when the beautiful wood underneath the dark stain was revealed. however, considering how long just this small part took to strip, i began to ask myself "what was i thinking"? a few months later (haha, i definitely took my time), halfway there... completely stripped and sanded with one coat of paint on the shelves in the background. the back of the safe. there was a sticker where that dark blob was, which probably had information regarding when and where this was made, but sadly none of that is visible anymore. i binge-listened to a lot of podcasts in our garage for those few months while i was working. the finished product (now in our dining room)!!! complete with all of my beautiful china and depression glass. i think the ivory paint on the interior really makes the china pop! can i just tell you how happy pink depression glass makes me? seriously. so happy. plenty of storage underneath, too! beautiful, hand carved details! pretty hardware i picked up from world market! this is still the original glass... it's kind of hard to see the detail, but up close with the naked eye you can see tiny imperfections and ripples, which i just love! when i was younger, i never understood why people had things they never used (one reason why i foolishly didn't register for my own wedding china). luckily, the women in my family who preceded me were far smarter than myself... and i'm so lucky to have all of this beautiful vintage dinnerware on display in my home. and now, i totally get it! :)
Go to an antique show and you might see a pie safe, jelly cupboard or sugar chest.
It is so stinkin' hot in Texas right now. Broiling hot. For this reason, a yellow-themed Friday Favorites seemed appropriate. I'll be enjoying a good book inside my nice air-conditioned home this weekend. Do you have any big plans? a beautiful Victorian photo album in excellent condition How could it not be? The
My latest project is to re-organize the front room of the basement to make a transition to the primitive barn porch. My brainstorm was to create a faux’ summer kitchen with primitives and use…
Ever want to be on one of those makeover shows? I used to think I did. But then I realized I just wanted them to give me the $5,000 to buy new clothes. I didn't want them to tell me that I needed to wear bright colors or floral prints or anything funky like that. And I certainly didn't want them to color my hair or tell me I should straighten out my curls when it took me so long to decide I liked them. And then there's the whole idea of "how bad do you really have to dress before someone nominates you" kind of thing. Yeah...I didn't want to think about that. So I stick to doing makeovers on inanimate objects. And so far it's worked out juuuuuust fine. It all started when I saw this sign on Antique Farmhouse. At least I think I saw it there first. I don't know why, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $50 for it. {I think that's what it was.} Then I saw it in a local shop for $75...and I realized just how LARGE it was. Since I've had a little time on my hands this week... I decided to make my own. I've had this tray I picked up on clearance at Hobby Lobby a while back and thought it would be perfect. While it's not totally hideous to start off with... there was definitely room for some improvement. The clerk kinda looked at me funny until I told her I was planning to paint it or something. She said, "oh, good." :) I used 2 coats to cover the harlequin design. I should have used more...you'll see why in a bit...but that's okay. I forgot to show you the vinyl I created on my Silhouette before I started painting over it. My bad. You know, the theory is that if you first paint around the edges of your stencil with the base color... you won't have the fill color seep under the edges. Whatever. It never works for me. I always have touch up work to do. I used some DIY chalk paint to cover the whole thing. Sanded it lightly between coats so it was smoooooooth. Then I peeled off the vinyl. I lightly distressed the whole thing... but it still seemed a little too bright for me. So I added some dark wax. Beautimous. See what I mean about only using 2 coats of black? You can kinda see the diamonds peeking through where I sanded it slightly. I'm okay with it if you are. :) So that's the story of how an ugly duckling tray became a beautiful swan pie sign. I hope you enjoyed this make your own makeover. I must run...I've got 13 yards of fabric calling my name. I've been trying to ignore it...but the living room is begging for new curtains.

After you determine the reason you want to decorate above your cabinets, and you evaluate the space you have, the way to do it becomes crystal clear!
I'm on a new treasure hunt. . . .for a Hoosier style kitchen cabinet. I've been thinking about it for a while, but when I saw this Hoosier Desk at Penny's Vintage Home, I was convinced I needed one. . . .possibly as a desk. . . . definitely as a work center. How many have I passed up over the years in antique malls and flea markets? Probably hundreds. . . I've owned quite a few in the past, too. . . . ended up selling them everytime I moved. I've moved a lot over the years. There are parts and pieces of the cabinets stored here at the farm. . . . just not one in good shape. Now that the keeping room is finished with all it's sparkling white cabinets, the Baker's Cabinet just doesn't fit anymore. Well, okay, it fits but a painted cabinet would look so much better. It's a true antique--from the late 1800s-early 1900s. No way will I put the paint to it. In all my years of seeing Hoosiers, I've never checked on the history of them. . . As it turns out, the origin of the Hoosiers can be traced back to Baker's Cabinets such as ours. . . . The lower section is a kitchen table with drawers and two large metal-lined bins for flour and meal. . . . The upper section has drawers and doors for storing spices, utensils, and other baking needs. Certainly not as much storage space as the Hoosiers. As the Baker's Cabinet evolved into the Hoosier style, the lower sections were replaced with a base that had a door on one side. . . . The upper section was divided into storage areas with wood and/or glass doors. Early cabinets had a row of small drawers below the doors. The wood table tops of the early Hoosiers were coverd with zinc sheet metal. . . . Then aluminum. . . .and, finally porcelain tops that pulled out for added work space. Later additions included built-in flour sifters, sugar containers, and spice jars. I have another reason for wanting a Hoosier style cabinet. . . . I was to USE it! I do use the Baker's Cabinet. . . .but not as often as I'd like. It has a wooden top--not easy to work on. . . .easily scratched. . . . flour gets stuck in between the cracks in the boards. . . . Porcelain tops are fabulous. . . .They're heat resistant, easy to clean, smooth enough to roll out dough, and a great place to cool cookies or canning jars. Yes, I NEED one. . . . That's my new treasure hunt. Where or when it pops up, goodness knows. It will certainly be fun looking, though. . . . I feel a road trip coming on. . . .from my farmhouse to yours. . . Several have asked me about my coffee canister. I found a great site that sells original glass canisters and spice jars at: Hoosier Cabinet Dot Com Check it out!
