Interior Corner: The Decorator's Version of Health Care Reform

It was touch and go for a while, but a medical miracle saved this chaotic corner using a vintage medical cabinet...

Thankfully, the corner was able to be resuscitated!
Here was the procedure...

I found this cabinet at last year's Junk Bonanza. It was being sold by one of my favorite vendors...Cammie@Daffadowndilly's. It was missing one of the beveled glass windows, but that didn't stop me! A simple call to my favorite glass doctor took care of that!

One of my favorite features of this cabinet is the glass on the side. This is the view coming from the kitchen into the living room. I love her, scars and all!

It features glass shelves inside. Transplant pieces from around the cottage gave some life to the cabinet. I stayed with neutral tones and blues...

Remember my $6.00 vintage paper mache dog?...

I found a genetic match...his identical twin...on eBay a day after that post...

This painting is one of my favorites. I love the scene and the colors. A small trophy and a set of pewter cups add to the mix. No gown needed to cover up these babies!

Quack! This vintage duck decoy is a great piece of nostalgia. And the vintage chalk holder is too cool for school! {pun intended!} Strange instruments for a typical operating room to be sure, but there are no complaints from the patient!

I grabbed these two mirrors out of a display in the master bath. The telescoping mirror in the back is fab-U-lous! That was a find at Junk Bonanza two years ago. The smaller mirror is a 10-cent garage sale find!! Perfect for showing all angles during the procedure!
