Me: 3rd time's a charm!

This is the 3rd and final curio cabinet. It's a keeper!

Here is the Curio Story: I've been searching Craig's list and buying, searching antique stores and buying, searching garage sales and buying and NOW, I'm done. :-)

This was the first curio...

Black, sorta cool but way too big when I got it home. Biggest deal breaker though: it smelled like smoke.

Curio #2. Very pretty and simple. The wood (veneer) tones went well with the piano. I bought and brought this one home last night and was satisfied. I thought this was it until...

I went to a garage sale this morning. :-/ I wasn't even looking for a curio cabinet anymore. But, the one and only garage sale that mom and I found had this piece. It defiintely caught my eye. I looked it over as the estate seller boasted about it being a certain brand from Virginia. While 2 other couples were standing behind me ready to say "We'll take it",  I claimed it. I first tried to bargain for a better price but no go. It was already a good deal so I left happy. I called James for the 3rd time in 2 weeks to haul a large all-glass cabinet across town. Once in the house we did some rearranging. It's a winner, I think it's gorgeous!

Now I have 2 curio cabinets and my original cabinet to sell on craig's list. Hoping I can even make money on them. I'll let you know. 

PS: Do you like the wreath of peacock feathers framed on the front door?
