Boring to Better Display Cabinet

While doing a little cleaning over the weekend I found this little display cabinet under the bed in my guest room.  I remember buying this cabinet at a thrift store last summer for $6.50 (ignore the basement storage area).

 Someone went to a lot of work to build this little cabinet, they just didn't "pretty it up" after they built it.  All it needed was a couple of coats of paint to make it perfect for my guest bedroom.

Last February I redecorated our guest bedroom after living with the previous decor for eight years.  It was a "design on a dime" project as I reused/repurposed most of the pieces that I already had in the room.  I posted about it here.
This is one of the pictures I took last February of the finished room.

I always thought the wall area to the right of the bed wasn't balanced with the left side.  I needed a little more "something" on the right side but I wasn't sure what I wanted.

Enter my newly painted cabinet.

The cabinet gave me the balance I was looking for in the room and some additional display space for part of my vintage clock collection and a few other pieces.

 This little fan sits on the bookshelf in front of the cabinet.

Now all I have to do is find a cute lamp to replace the one in the picture.  Kim @ Savvy Southern Style posted a pretty one on her blog yesterday that she found at Hobby Lobby.  That's where I'm headed tomorrow.

Speaking of Kim....I'm linking this post to her Boring to Better Party

Kathleen @ Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday.
