Happy Thursday Friends!
I purchased this piece back in early December from The Cotton Shed in Evansville, IN. You can find them on Instagram here. They participate in several vintage markets throughout the year - you should definitely follow them and check out their show schedule!
This winter they stocked their warehouse for an exclusive open house and I was thrilled to get this beauty! In true Amy fashion, I spotted a similar metal cabinet and asked if they happened to have any larger ones in the back - to my surprise they did! It never hurts to ask, right? :)
After taking our Christmas decor down, our living room felt so bare. I have been dreaming about putting the metal cabinet in this space for too long! Today I finally poured myself a up of coffee, brought it in (it is sooo heavy) and started styling it for winter. 
I had been on the hunt for a vintage cabinet to store my chalk paint and this was a perfect solution. It has various sizes (once used in a tool shop) so I can store several different sizes of paint as well as other small decor pieces.
The cabinet really updated the look of our living room and I love that I have my paint handy now! As a bonus, I didn't have to purchase anything new to style this space. Do you ever "shop your space?" If not, I challenge you to give it a try. I feel like it helps boost creativity because you really have to think about how to work with what you already have on hand. Paint was easy for me because I needed it handy anyway. I also used a corbel Christmas ornament from Honey Homb Market which can be found here. Wood hearts were found last year at Michaels. The rest of the items were just random pieces I had around the house.
If this is your first time visiting our page, you may not already know, but we are a retailer of Jeanne d'Arc Living chalk paint and accessories. I use their products almost daily, so having them stored nearby is wonderful. Not to mention, it's visually appealing.
Someday, I hope to put this cabinet in my own workshop, but I'm loving it here for now.
Thanks so much for stopping by and supporting this little dream of mine!
Xx,
Amy
