{it's here! it's here!}

I'm so happy! My vintage buffet is here and it's soooo sweet. It's Jugendstil style from the 1940s and super cute. The perfect dimensions too. I measured so so so carefully so I'm happy that it is here, in place, etc. I just cleaned it out and loaded some things into it until we go to IKEA tomorrow to get our shelves for over the sink, then some of these things will come out of the cabinet and go onto the shelves... So for now, here's the view. And... temporary view (I want to paint/paper the inside)... I'm so happy! My husband is the best (he found this for me and pointed to the screen knowing it was what I want exactly). (images from holly becker for decor8)

Oh I am so jealous!... The cabinet is SO cute!! It has almost the same height as the fridge so everything looks balanced and the counter almost matches your new counter from IKEA. And the carved details... and the glass doors... I LOVE it!!

It looks like it was custom made to fit into your space. Don't you love it when that happens? We were waiting for this post to come up with pictures since we saw your earlier post about its imminent arrival...so worth the wait! We can't wait to see what you do with it.

That is so fabulous! And I love that it'll balance out the more modern Ikea kitchen stuff. Perfect!
Wow! You make a great case for shopping on eBay! Who would ever have thought to shop for such a fun piece of furniture online?

I'm an eBay Power Seller in Canada and I am thrilled that your purchase worked out so well. I LOVE your cabinet. Is there one for the rest of us?
