canton flea market {what i got.}

if these words make your heart beat faster...

old, 

painted, 

worn, 

chippy, 

cupboard.

then you might want to sit down for this.

{my favorite piece from the whole market.}

my dad is probably shaking his head and asking...

did she really pay money for that?

I LOVE IT!!!

it needed a new back, but i had leftover beadboard sitting in the garage.

i would like to find a scrap piece of marble or granite to put on the top eventually,

 but for now it is just perfect.

(i love the little stripe of aqua paint at the bottom)

i bought it for the breakfast nook, but when i saw it in the backroom against my new

paint color, (what do you think?) 

i knew it would have to stay in there.

the best part about this piece...

they delivered it to me...in kansas!

 turns out they're from hutchinson (35 miles west)

so they met us at our walmart to pick it up!

it's a darn good thing too, there is no way it would've fit in my honda

once you see everything else i bought!
