It started last Saturday... my mom, my friend Amy, and I went to this quaint little town called Micanopy. It's full of antique stores. And as I walked into one of the stores, I saw It. It was the most beautiful china cabinet. It was a beautiful robin's egg blue and was against a canary yellow wall. My dream kitchen colors! Sadly, It had a price tag of $850!!! There's no way that I could afford spending that on a china cabinet!

So I started looking on Craigslist. I've never purchased anything from Craigslist before, and all I could think was of all the crazy horror stories of the Craigslist creepers. But, I persevered! And boy am I glad I did! Andy and I found a gorgeous china cabinet! It's just the perfect size, a beautiful finish, and a VERY good deal!

The greatest thing though is that it's our first real piece of furniture that we've purchased together! I'm SO excited! Here are pics...

The only thing I might change is the hardware, but I'll take my time with that!


With our china in it...I couldn't wait and put it all in right away!
