A NEW/VINTAGE GREEN CABINET AND FEW BASKETS

Friday I went shopping! I do always feel guilty shopping for my home.....A couple of weeks ago I went to see a friend in Solana Beach and in her store there was this green corner cabinet. Painted with CeCe Caldwell chalk paint, a technique that I am not familiar with but the patina and the color is amazing!Debi Beard from 
Debi's Design Diary owner of Vintage House was kind enough to give me few samples of this chalk paint and I hope soon to be able to try it out and show you what I did with it. Anyway I left the store and I could not stop thinking about this cabinet. A couple of days later I messaged Debi and told her that I would go back and buy the cabinet! CRAZY!
 I love it
and just before heading down to Solana Beach I stopped by Matilda's Mouse in Valley Center for their Barn Sale and found few treasures, including these two GREEN baskets. 

Wishing you a wonderful week
Ciao for now

Matilda's Mouse and more

Friday was Matilda's Mouse Barn Sale. A very inspiring place, especially after our event and we need to take a brake.....we go to Matilda's Mouse. 









Had a wonderful lunch in Escondido and then we continued our shopping. And visited other antique stores on the way home. 
My purchases from Friday. Tea cup, mirror, lots of keys, pearl necklaces, suit case and the tiniest wheel.



I hope your weekend has been wonderful as mine.

Ciao for now
