This past weekend I did something I haven’t done in MONTHS. I went antiquing!! And I gotta say, it felt so good. I took the little miss with me and we had the best time browsing through one of my favorite antique shops. I was on the hunt for a new cabinet or bookcase for our front room and Lady Luck was on my side because I actually found one. And I LOOOOOVE it. Seriously, I haven’t been this excited about a new antique find in a long time and I’m pumped to share it with you guys. It’s the perfect size and it just has so much character.
Isn’t she cute!? I was literally giddy with excitement when we first brought her in this room. I just love it! It has a very charming, dollhouse look to it and I feel like it suits this room really well. I had so much fun styling it with old books and a few vintage pieces like that old clock. I’m smitten!
I can’t seem to find anything online about this particular cabinet, but I think it’s from the 1930s. Maybe even the 1940s. I love the arched top and all the details. It’s actually one piece, not two, and it’s pretty much in perfect condition. Plus it was already painted white when I bought it. I think it was meant to be!
I also freshened this room up with new accent chairs!! Well, actually I had one of these down in the basement, so I brought it up and then ordered one more so I’d have two in here. I got it when it was on a really good sale and it came right before Christmas. This room is so much more cozy now and lately I’ve been sitting in here every morning with my coffee.
I gotta say, lately I’ve found a new appreciation for our home–one that I honestly haven’t felt in a while. And to be real with you, I didn’t feel it for a good chunk of 2019. I just didn’t feel inspired by our home or super motivated to take on a lot of new projects. I was burnt out with projects and you guys might have picked up on that. I had a lot of fun sharing other things, but I did miss having that passion for our home. However, over the last few weeks I’ve started appreciating it again and I’m SO excited to take on new projects this year, try new things, freshen up the decor, and just share all of that with you guys. Getting this antique cabinet and switching up this front room was really the start of that and it’s a good feeling. Now I’m buzzing to get some projects done. First up is finally finishing our master bathroom makeover, which I started last MAY. That’s coming sooooon!
Thanks so much for dropping by today. I’m always grateful when you spend part of your day here with me. xo
SHOP THE ROOM:
accent chairs // rug // lamp // wicker baskets // wicker tray // fiddle tree (mine is real but this is a great faux option!) // curtain rod // white throw blanket

in your living room.
I love your new cabinet and how you styled it. Your posts always brighten my day.
Absolutely looove that cabinet!! Awesome find 😃
Love the cabinet!!!!!! I have one that is similar from my Grandmother that is probably from the 1940’s. I loved your vintage washstand also that I think was in that spot…where did that go?
Have a blessed and wonderful day,
Love your blog friend,
Tammy
I haven’t been following long but so glad I did. I love your style and how family oriented you are. This cabinet is so cute and looks perfect here!
Hello, you mentioned a mascara you loved. Would you mind telling me what it was. I’m in the market for some. Thank you and good morning!
i would like too see your new cabinet on your vintage wash stand. Nice cabinet!
Love it! Looks so cozy! The cabinet looks like it was meant for that space. I enjoy following along you have always have great ideas for cozy spaces.
I love it! So adorable! I need your Lady Luck to find one for my home 🤞🏻
So beautiful Sarah! What a find!!! And happy to hear you are feeling the spark of inspiration again. We all go through that I’m sure, but we are here with ya through it all…thanks for sharing with us❤😊
Love the new cabinet Sarah! I was also wondering where you put your washstand! I love seeing new changes in rooms! That kind of stuff makes me giddy too, I guess that’s why I follow the home blogs! Unfortunately I don’t know anyone in real life that enjoys this stuff the way I do! Thanks for writing Sarah, keep it up! Your home is just beautiful.
I’ve been looking for some black framed art and noticed your art by your bay window above your chair. Where did you shop for that . Thanks, I enjoy your blog
It is so cute! What a find! I’m guessing from the 30’s/40’s as well. Looks like a piece that was in my grandparents house.
Your house is super cute Sarah! Love your decorating tastes/styles. The new find looks great!!
Love your new cabinet! Perfect in your front room.
Cute cabinet. The same thing happens with me. I find something and everything else gets moved to accommodate the new purchase and I’m in love with a room again.
The light coming into that room is gorgeous. Looks so pretty.
I LOVE the detail on the glass/door. That cabinet is a perfect fit for your home.
Love your new cabinet. We had our entryway, living room and kitchen painted a very light gray. It sure lighten up all the rooms. Love it.
Sarah,
She’s adorable! I love the curves and bric brac on the glass door!!! Great place for it too!
I always look forward to post Xmas every year…after I remove all the Xmas stuff I just live with the emptiness for 2-3 weeks and suddenly (when I can’t stand it any more) I get it in gear and take stuff down and start over redecorating my house. New year, new look, new feelings to begin again! I’m adding more green things this year…I love it with my accents of red…and while blues are the big comeback I just don’t feel the energy from blue that I do from red. So white black red and some green lift my spirits on the rainy or hot days…enjoy your room, and Those comfy chairs!
Great find! I was looking through your posts to see if I could find the name of the paint color on the walls in this room but couldn’t seem to find it. Would you please share the paint colors you’ve used in your home?
The Cabinet is beautiful! Looks perfect in your living room.
Hi a Sarah
OMG! I love your sweet cabinet and you got it in white, so lovely. You have everything just perfect.
I have to get motivated as I have so much to do to get the look of Farmhouse.
Love this so much! It looks amazing!
I always love seeing your beautiful home and the way you style things💝
Hi Sarah. I am a antique dealer and I believe your new cabinet is actually a radio cabinet from the 1930’s. It has had the radio removed, and the shelves added to repurpose it, which is common. I sent you an email with pictures similar to yours. I love your blog and candles!
Hi Sarah! I love that antiques cabinet. I paint furniture so I do appreciate antiques so much. Now i know if i find one like this i will paint it white. It is lovely. What happened to your washstand? Cant wait to see what you do to your bathroom and the rest of your house. I miss my house. I am moving into an apartment next week. just me an my dog and i hope to find inspiration on decorating. Thank you for sharing.
Super cute!! I just found a cute “cabinet” that was chippy paint and all with a glass door. Brought it home, can’t wait to style it and a bonus it went perfectly with what I paired it with ! So much fun when you find those treasures! Thanks for sharing Sarah I so look forward to reading your blog!
Sarah…thank-you for sharing! I love your site. Sarah wondering about your white sofa….what is the length and where you purchased from?
Perfect for your house! It adds something extra special to the room. No wonder you were so excited!
Love this room! Where did you find the table with the little drawers in it? Thanks!
