China Cabinet

This a a little child size china cabinet that we just brought over from my parent's house. It was made for my grandmother by her father and then my mom had it as a little girl. Then my sisters and I all had it and I remember specifically asking my mom as a little girl if I could keep it for my children someday. I was living a dream to bring it to our house for J to play with-first that we have a little girl, and second that she is the 4th generation to have this special family heirloom. There is even a distinct smell in the wood that brings back childhood memories.
My mom lost her mom and dad and little sister in an airplane accident when my oldest brother and sister were very little. We all have wished that we could have known our grandparents and aunt, but our mom has kept them alive through her stories and through such special things like this cabinet that were from her family home. Now J gets to have memories of this special cabinet.
The first picture is of J and Truman at Home Depot after we had purchased new hardware and some supplies for the cabinet. We have sanded it and next we will paint it. When it is completed, I will show the finished product. Stay tuned...
