It was a should I or shouldn't I kinda morning yesterday until late afternoon I said to myself "just do it". The reason I wanted to paint it was that the top work surface was blotchy, dirty looking and did not clean well at all. Besides I wanted to brighten up the kitchen a bit more.
This was a piece my husband had retrieved out of an abandoned house that was due to be demolished. It was part of a built in cupboard. Ah, got to love those old homes. We have a couple of beautiful cupboards that I can't wait to show and tell that also came from a cottage home that was demolished by DNR. They will be going into the kitchen of the mill.
So this island painted up nicely. I used a pure white semi gloss paint so the surface would be washable and it really brightened up the kitchen. No regrets from this gal!
I decided to add a new vignette to my island. I had brought out a few jadite bowls (crazy for Jadite), some ironstone and a few smaller elements to add to it and oh, I found this cute old green stool when hubby and I went out antiquing yesterday. I had also made a haul on some cool ironstone dishes for a great price!
There are several photos to share with you and I hope that you like my little Monday Makeover! I would really love to have you join in my Makeover Monday link party and share your favorite makeover in your home. Just go to the previous post to link up. Have a wonderful blessed week!

Love it Theresa,,,of course. beautiful as always. Can't wait to see you guys again this summer....won't be long now!
Excellent job on the painting! And I also love jadeite, though I don't actually own any. The combination of the jadeite and the white is so refreshing...lovely!
Looks wonderful! You can never have too many worktops in a kitchen!
Theresa, your kitchen looks bright and beautiful. Look at all that space too! You did a wonderful job with that cupboard...oh and that pretty stool!

First I thought why didn't she just sand it down and put a new finish on it.But it does look beautiful in your kitchen with your other white cabinets.Not like you cant remove the paint if you ever want the natural wood finish again.
