the general store counter comes through the door

I love this. Don't you?

At our old house, I had this magazine clipping tacked to the kitchen bulletin board. Now it is finally time to make something similar happen in our new kitchen!

Last evening, Hubby enlisted the strong young men who were hanging around. He marched them to the barn with our newly-refinished harvest table ( for storage until we are ready to use it!) and brought them back to our old stone home with this little thing:

It is twelve feet long.

Hubby plans to take it apart and rebuild it to suit our needs. We envision a kitchen island with a reclaimed slate top.

Here are a few shots of the beautiful detail on this baby:

I am enamored with the dentil molding, the panels with engraved lines, and that crown molding!!

My thanks to the guys with the brawn who muscled this thing through the door!
*post script: would it be crazy to go with that mustard yellow pictured in the magazine?

  1. No, not at all. I am a big fan of mustard yellow and, worst case scenario, if you don't like it you can always give a couple more coats of a different color. (But I'm pretty sure you'll like it.)
