Antique Tea Cart

When I come across a piece of furniture that is different I get excited. This tea cart is something I don't see everyday. The lady I bought it from said that it was very old. She was in her late 70's and said she had it for years. Most of what she was selling was antiques.

I just adored the little scallop cut around the drop leaf. I had to have it! I think it will make an adorable accessory to any room.

It had a little wooden handle on the side to wheel it around and I did right to my car!

 

I decided to paint this in a shabby chic white and distress

 

It makes the table come alive. This is it with the drop leaves open so you can see the whole thing.

I added some limoge dishes to the top that I bought on the 84 mile yard sale.

 

Tea anyone?

 

With one leaf down

Look at that edge!

Sometimes I feel painting an antique is criminal! Not in this case. Before I would have never put it in a home. Now it is something to showcase. This would even look good in a little girls room. I think it would look cute with a teddy bear sharing a spot of tea!

On another note.....

I am starting a Thank You party to the people that read and comment on my blog! It is not a linky party! It will showcase my sincere followers! I am very excited to give back to you!

I love comments and everyone that I speak to on here. I thought this would be a great way to thank you all for being here.

I get tired of linky parties sometimes so this is a way to get people to notice your blog without all that jumping around.

I will start this the end of the week. I hope you are all excited! I am!

I only ask that you visit the one being showcased and show them the love!
