Red Metal Kitchen Cabinet

This is how I found it. A green metal kitchen cabinet at the St.Vincent DePaul Thrift Store in Owensboro,Kentucky. It was the right measurements! It was the right thing! It had cabinets below! It had a countertop! It had sliding glass in front of shelves on top!

It was exactly what I wanted! It was $40 bucks!

Deb was with me and she said, "Oh my gosh, Terry, it is perfect!

Yes, perfect!.....except for the color...it needed to be cherry red.

......so, now it is! Check.

I needed the lower cabinets hold all my kitchen machines....blenders, crockpot, air popcorn popper, yogurt maker, mixer waffle maker and vegetable cutting machines. Check.

I needed the counter top for our coffee station. Check.

 

I wanted shelves in back of sliding glass doors to display my Bull and my china. Check.

....and it wasn't too tall, so that I could display my kitchen toys on the top. Check...and check!

YAY!

So, Deb says that I always find just the right thing all the time, like magic. The truth is that I've been looking for something like this as I went on junking adventures for the last 12 years...so, Yay!

Enjoy the Hunt!

Antonio, My Pizza Guy

Scores from my Salvation Army Thrift Store

Sometimes, I go junking and very little comes home with me......and sometimes, I SCORE big time!

This pizza guy was just 99 cents!
The metal magazine rack with an end missing was 99cents!
The drafting table was $3.99!
The office desk top file was $1.99!
So, this day cost me 8 bucks!....yay!

The Pizza Guy will go in my kitchen.
The magazine rack will go on my back porch.
The drafting table will go in my art studio.
The metal file rack will go in my office.

This was a good day!

Antonio, the Pizza Guy, in my kitchen

I have a little work to do on Antonio, but I've already placed him in the kitchen.

He is loved by all.
