AN EXCITING INVITATIONAL
TO BE PART OF A THEATER TROUPE
The amazing and talented CATHERINE MOORE
has gathered a group to join her
in a theater making adventure
and I am on board
and having a blast
The first step was to decide what to transform into the 'theater'
I looked around the nest and had many possibilities
but on a tour of the local Ross, I found this sad little cabinet.
Well, sad to the casual observer, but I almost squealed out loud when I came upon
it in the clearance isle.
Hinge twisted and door missing the knob.
Marked down to $8 plus change. I knew instantly this was perfect and I didn't want the door on it to begin with!!
Up to the counter I go, stepping outside my usual nature, I ask for a larger discount as CLEARLY this was in sad shape. (amusing myself as I had nothing to lose......I was buying it regardless)
Another 20% later I am practically skipping to my car.
Home with my find I head to the tool box to gather my small Phillips to get that door off.
Not a difficult feat.
Take the drawer out.........turn upside down.
PERFECT.
And that is how it started.

oooh, i can't wait to see how this turns out...i have been wanting to make a theater...but too busy with other things right now:)
OMG, I can imagine it. Your visions are amazing. So happy you're not just sitting around.
What an incredible find!!! After you mentioned it, I have been looking around with no luck on anything like this. I have settled on the little suitcase idea and have been gesso-ing it up to prep the outside for some type of enhancement. Now, I just need to determine the color scheme. I look forward to see your progress on this piece!!
Beyond cool! I can't wait to see what you do to it! And I LOVE it that you turned it UPSIDE DOWN! You are so clever. :):)
