Vintage Bathroom Cabinet

Remember my recent post on our Bollinger Mill day trip in which I cryptically gushed about a fabulous piece of furniture I found at an antique store? Well, today I brought it home!


I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea (Dad, I'm looking at you!) but I'm pretty much obsessed with it. The store owner said it would be a great piece to restore, and I kind of shouted, "No! I love it how it is!" It was painted many years ago and the effect of the paint chipping off and rust underneath has given it a great patina.


It has glass sliding doors on the top with two adjustable shelves inside and two pull out drawers on the bottom.


And I got a deal! After watching lots of Cajun Pawn Stars episodes with David's family last night, I was inspired to test my negotiation skills. I scored it for $65 instead of the original price of $80 (which I still think is a steal - truth be told I would've paid well over $100 for it).

Many thanks to David and Ramon for getting it safely from the antique store to my bathroom!

    1. Thanks! When I first laid eyes on it I knew it would be perfect in the bathroom. I keep forgetting it's in there and get so excited when I see it!

  2. I love it, with the glass doors I makes a great piece for displaying about anything! The distressed looks is great. If you decide to refinish it you might get some ideas from this site.

  3. Bathroom cabinets are considered to be one of the most important things in a modern-day bathroom and impact the overall feel and look of the interiors. In addition to their looks, these improve the functionality of the available space. Pier1 Bathrooms
