Did you see this?

MSN had one of it's little fluff news stories,
it brought cars with identical problems to be repaired in each of the 50 states. Then they compared the cost as well as how bad that states roadways were.  Where do you think North Carolina ranked?: (1 being the absolute worst)

How Well Will Whimsy Work?

I got two of these cabinets for $10. So I decided no birds for them. 

I had 2 different ideas but neither one ended up being quite right for the proportions of the cabinets.  

I will see if I can sell this at all.

The story...

Once upon a time there was crazy lady who said she wanted this

I found this for $50

I did this

(this is before it was waxed so it looks chalky/ hence the name " chalk paint" -and  does not have the shine- deep glow - use your imagination boys and girls)

                                                                 sold it like this to a not crazy lady

My Problem Child- (at least one of them)

I am more than a little interested to hear how this reads on your screen. No, it is not ugghh blue, it is in no way any blue;  it is a true boxwood green. Is that how it looks to you?

This is the piece that I totally sanded the top (due to much cracks/ flaking of the finish) but I only cleaned and primed the rest. Well, the primer I used was a FLOP. As soon as the paint went over it it pulled right off- even after 2 days of curing. So Doug helped me sand it all off- that was uggh. Mid-sanding I thought, "yup, distressed, that is where this piece is going". I don't know how you feel about the look? How much do you think I could sell it for?
