I have had to travel to Salt Lake City for years for business....I have my faves there - staying at Little America in the tower, sushi at an old church, the gift shop at Cracker Barrel and the best of the best: Gardner Village - an old Grist Mill turned restaurant and shopping mecca. They decorate over the top for all Holidays. I especially love their Halloween Theme - full size witches all over the village, flying on brooms, playing softball, stirring the boiling pot....and the elves at Christmas - so cute. I love all the shops and love to eat their fried green tomatoes....mmmmm...but not as good as my mom's.
So on a trip one year that was near Christmas it was all decked out in it's glory. At one of the stores they had a full size sideboard and all things snowman and red and green on it.....I think I heard the Hallelujah chorus when I saw it. For so long I have tried to find a nook or cranny at the house so I could incorporate that into my decor. I love Craig's list and would scour for hours and they were all so big and no way could I find a space for it. So a few weeks ago I came across this and scooped it up. I used the Behr primer and paint combo and gave it a once over and then took my handy sander to distress it out. I am really happy with the outcome and I can't believe I was able to cram yet another piece of furniture into this house!
I love that I didn't even realize it had beadboard until you cleaned it up and painted it!
