The upstairs unit butlers pantry

This area is cozy, not huge. It had been filled with trash of course and old refrigerator with decades old food rotted in it.
Once it was all cleaned out, I decided to make it a morning room. It has an original built-in china cabinet which is neat.
This room is a testament to my tending to do something, then when it is done I either add to it or change something.
I decided to use old shelving wood in the basement and make a custom wall built-in at the window wall. It turned out nice though it made me cuss during the process. In an old house, expect nothing to be plumb. I made it a breakfront design, with a pediment I made free form. I painted it. First it was a Valspar color called Honeysuckle Bloom. Also from the farmhouse collection and was to be used for the woodwork as well throughout the house. Of course, I changed my mind and went with a color called Crepe and had to have it custom mixed.
I bought some lighting at Restore that matched. They were brass. An island fixture, two pendants and a chandelier. As we had come to like bronze finished lighting, I decided to spray paint the lighting. This is really an inexpensive way to update something. It cost about $12 for that. The lighting from Restore was about $150 for all of it. I got it done and installed.

It is hung in the room and then recently of course, I started to change my mind. I had gone to a local store and found a brass and crystal chandelier there that belonged to Richard Nixon's former secretary at The White House. He gifted the chandelier to her which once hung in his private office off of the Oval Office. I got it cheap and was really happy to get it.
SO NOW, I am changing the lighting out and installing the one I just found and also a pot rack I found and spray painted. I have to admit I have a bad habit of that and it must drive David crazy. But hey I yam what I yam lol.
Made a custom medallion for in this area as well, octagonal as posted before. Though small in size, it easily houses most of my china collection and a great table and chairs I put together for in there. The table came from Goodwill and was half off. It cost $35. I found the chairs at a local thrift store for $20 for all four. The table had a price tag on it from Goldstein's Furniture for $999.99 so that goes to show how thrifty we are. $55 for a great table and chair set. The flat screen in there came from Salvation Army when they opened their Boardman store last year and was $40. It has a built in DVD player.
Again, you can do amazing things with little money if you look around your local thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales.
