Last Fall I bought this vintage pink cabinet from my friend, Dolly’s Aunt Bunny. It has been sitting in the garage ever since.
If you know me, you know that I don’t have a lot of pink in my home. I loved the cabinet and for $40 I just couldn’t pass it up!
I brought it in and knew it would work great for a ‘Valentines’ display.
It’s the perfect shade of pink and a little rough around the edges. . .just the way I like it!
It sits on my chippy table in front of the living room window. Which doesn’t make for easy photography. I finally closed the blinds and this is the best I could do.
I filled the shelves with little treasures. . .A collection of bottles. The sweet ‘pearls of wisdom’ was a gift from my friend, Ann. The small rose pitcher was a thrift find.
A teacup bought while vacationing in AZ, a vintage tea spoon, and a silver bird.
A few pieces of pretty pink dishes, a thrifted candle, an image printed from ‘the Graphics Fairy’ and a bird music box. I just found the music box in St. George last weekend at a thrift for $7. It still works and I thought it was so sweet!
I placed another thrift find on top along with an architectural piece.
A second architectural piece lies on the table next to a pink gazing ball that I placed in a small urn. Love that sunshine streaming in!
I bought this gorgeous table topper with the crochet edge at an estate sale last year for $5.
I stood my paper wreath I made a couple years ago on the other side of the table. It’s on a stand made from an old wooden stair rail.
You gotta love pearls and spoolie girls!
I strung my heart garland I made last year across the front of the table.
Right about now there’s a bit of ‘vintage pink’ love going on over here at Mrs. Olsons!
hugs,
Jann

love the pink cabinet . . . love the paper wreath . . . but, best of all . . . love the reflection of you in the mercury ball.
Jann, I love your pink cabinet and the whole vignette on the table. It looks just sweet. That table is wonderful in itself but the pink cabinet is so pretty. Love the heart garland too. I also like how you decorated your mantel in the previous post. You sure are getting your 'heart' into Valentine decorating.
How nice, you took a plain pink cabinet and turned it into a work of art.
The "pearls of wisdom" love that what sweet and thoughtful gift!
The little cabinet is perfect, what a nice find, I like it chippy too, looks fantastic!
You are so good at putting things together!! I pinned it to my "Lovey Display" board. Denise
Jann,
I just love that you decorate for each of the holidays and do such cute vignettes. I love coming to your blog so see what you are doing for each holiday. It just makes me smile. Love that awesome and I mean awesome cabinet. Sweet sweet sweet. Everything is so cute.

I love everything with pink, so I can't help it - I love everything here.
Pink is romantic and it's warm, simply beautiful
That pink cabinet is awesome, Jann...and you've staged the table so beautifully. If I had that cabinet, I'd find a place that needs some pink sweetness year round...but it's nice to see it out for Valentine's Day. I'm thinking it would work for Easter, too...bunnies like pink!

Perfect for V-Day! And you accessorized it so well. Sally
Oh my! Everything is just precious! Love the pink cabinet and the key hung on the door. And the gazing ball is amazing! I'm going to put one of those on my wish list! Love your tiny hearts, too! Enjoy your weekend!
Your little pink cabinet is adorable, Jann! I've been working on a little cabinet for my Valentine's Day mantel, too. I love your little thrifted rose pitcher you've got in your cabinet!
I love your pink cabinet!! All your Valentine decorations are so sweet!
That is adorable...I love it all, especially the banner!!
What a beautiful shade of pink! Your cabinet is lovely and of course you have it so beautifully accessorized
Darling vignette, Jann! The pink cabinet is just perfect. Love your paper wreath and all your other pretties, too :)
You styled that cabinet so cute for valentines. I can't believe it stayed in your garage for so long. I love the shade of the pink. Your heart garland is perfect on the chippy table.

Oh, that little cabinet is just precious in pink! Love it!

Everyone is lovin' that cabinet! I added touches of pink to my bathroom this year. I think we sometimes just need it to feel "in the pink."
Lovely display...is it in your downstairs kitchen area? I think the picture turned out quite well with the blinds closed. You had better luck than I usually do under those circumstances...lol!
Love your vintage pink!! The heart banner is adorable and that pink cabinet says it wants to live at my house.
hugs,
Cindy

What a cute cabinet! You know I have four of the rimmed soup bowl with the roses. So pretty! I haven't seen it anywhere but here. I love the pattern beneath it too. Thanks for sharing, Jann.

Oh Jann that's the cutest thing!!! Now I'm going to have to go find a little cabinet to paint pink to use for Valentines! You know, imitation is the best form a flattery. Love how you styled it, too.
