Cabinet of curiosities

One of the advantages of living on acreage is having the space for a shed. A big shed. Big enough to <strike>hoard</strike> store all manner of vintage treasures, collected over years of thrift shop and garage sale stalking. Over the weekend, I managed to re-visit some of the pieces I have stashed away, and found these cabinets.<br /><br />The blue hutch has the original, crazed painted finish, which is just gorgeous, so I'm looking for a new finish for the interior.

Whats Hot? Fuego Outdoor Living Grill

<p align="justify">I am in the process of designing an outdoor patio for clients. It is a challenging project as well as being very exacting, with a lot of technical details to take into consideration (gas lines, water lines, electrical panel load limits, permit approvals, etc), before I can even start on the ‘pretty stuff.’ This outdoor patio is on the roof of a penthouse, with a spectacular view of the ocean, mountains, and city of Vancouver. It is a breathtaking 130 feet in length, and is probably larger than most people’s back yards.  </p>  <p align="justify">Every once in awhile I come across a new and innovatively designed product that causes me to stop and take notice, and with a sigh of relief, that I have found an esthetically pleasing alternative to a category of product design that generally leaves my visual sensibilities assaulted. Finally an outdoor grill (notice that it is not referred to as a BBQ - ‘Grill’ is the operative new terminology), that shakes up tradition, and is beautiful to look at. “A campfire for modernists,” “a social magnet with a great sense of style.” Attaching a label to this <a href="http://fuegoliving.com/products" target="_blank">Fuego</a> outdoor living grill is trickier than throwing a salmon – wild, rubbed with herbs and spices – on an open flame. As well as <a href="http://fuegoliving.com/about" target="_blank">Fuego</a> being a top rated grill, it has a modernist design aesthetic with sleek-lined minimalism. One that I wouldn’t mind gracing my clients’ patio. </p>  <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPEO3M2kp_gmcwtifI2uFHtqBAV2xhzuDV7mK3EK7vj8f4ENwaOIdmtPF4Qbxq4pGLKjyap2N_43PMMSjECSCzOWWx2_mLXB_25SkpDqom_rBZIOXYCK5C7yi0NtgIiIWrGfeLaByKkJCz/s1600-h/image7%5B1%5D.png"><img alt="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxJjeWZhxY6EZGPT3bILMm2XtisCgMBvn5A8oZYar5hJg2eWPE1L5IuS8SlTWBYWZIvwlW8GkbosVG9AsfnJ3muooQOOycXsCToUn-meMbva1Nq865OyI5_5c6pHhz0ZyE13JLzzxEFYUE/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" width="500" /></a>  <br /><a href="http://fuegoliving.com/files/files/file/Fuego_Catalog_06-12.pdf" target="_blank"><font size="1">Fuego Catalogue</font></a><font color="#669966" size="1"> </font></p>  <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFm5pcyOnns83yHzxf6OUjrYIS6J8cVCFZCzQxWEbvYzY2iF3hl8GYgfJ6AaZqEORRzMCIq52AznjuqRo-jxV_tiY6mPC3e-kxEe3o3mLFj2Id9OPFzm8Vdkn6PYf_dP1TH8mtFnlhf8C6/s1600-h/image4%5B1%5D.png"><img alt="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVArfXtBgBTw2W2T2WRe2SWx-0291F0FRR34pOzc2k3ddxQJmiGGFjjvqoQ4uLAEhHNSPh1Ztt7dD0S7rbzywjXBqSgEEHb0M9lL6EzwS7oyFLvmdkkVFC0YxWlLUN7opoTIPsDo3VILT/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Fuego Outdoor Living Grill" width="500" /></a>  <br /><a href="http://fuegoliving.com/products/fuego01" target="_blank"><font size="1">Fuego Grill 01</font></a><font size="1">      <br /></font>    <br />What do you think?  Would you like to have this Fuego grill gracing your patio?     <br />I’ll take the pool!</p>  <p align="center"><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/" target="_blank"><font size="1">PATRICIA GRAY INC</font></a><font size="1"> is an award winning interior design firm writing about lifestyle and     <br />WHAT'S HOT in the world of interior design, architecture, art and travel.      <br /></font><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><font size="1">2011 © Patricia Gray | Interior Design Blog™</font></a></p>
