Hubby and I went to the auction Wednesday night....(the kids have been whisked away by my parents and are on a 7 day cruise...what's up with that?) Anyhoo....Troy said , "Sure, I'll go." Well Wednesday night at auction is a little like junk night. You never know what you will find....which I love!!! Well, Troy met me there and he said, "Do you see anything you like?" I said," Yes, you see that mauve cupboard?" He kind of hesitantly said, "Yes?" I am sure he was thinking "mauve?" Well, I love to find a diamond in the rough. I can picture this cutie in a bathroom with towels rolled up and pretty bottles with neat soaps...etc etc etc. Oh the possibilities....well, I immediately started stripping the mauve paint and look at what is behind it!!! It kind of looks like tinted milk paint because it is a really thin layer of it. Most of it comes off with the mauve enamel paint....yes, it is enamel. What a great green color...I love to imagine it's original condition being loved by Granny in her kitchen....can you picture it. I will keep you posted on the progress. Of course it will be creamy white with the edges shabbied up a bit and glass knobs and..........
