This is "Payton"

Payton–is just one of my many beautiful nieces and the name-sake of this cabinet!

The darker wood you see, are old doors found at The ReStore.  They said someone gutted the kitchen of a local 1940′s home and donated what was salvageable …..really nice hard wood!

I confess I tend to become oblivious to time when I’m “working” in my Page 10 studio.  You can see from these pictures how one day night ended when I couldn’t seem to come up with the right legs—and I have a pretty good collection!  So I, literally, went back to the books—my many design books, looking for inspiration.  Perusing the pages of a few of my favorites, Swedish Country Interiors, London Living Style, and Great French Style netted not only an idea for the solution, but a better idea for its paint finish!

I cut and contoured base legs, added some 7″ sample corbels, fleur de lis appliques, egg & dart crown molding, and vintage hardware from the flea market.  I painted it pale blue and creamy white, with gold leaf details, and a filigree stencil.
