icebox

Several months ago Britt and I purchased a little old icebox from our neighborhood junk/antique shop, Laverty's. Apparently this little gem once had a handle on top instead of drawers. In this compartment is where you would put in your block of ice to cool the food in the lower shelves. Well, we stripped it, sanded it, and painted that sucker! This was quite a task considering the 5+ coats of paint on it. It took us forever, but here it is:
I really like how it turned out and how it fills out some of the space in our gigantic dining room.

When we were done painting, I went back in and lined the drawers and shelves with Martha Stewart wrapping paper. Isn't it cute?
