A NICOTINE FREE SMOKING CABINET for BTTCG Blog Party

I have been looking for a small table or something for a vase to go on my front entrance porch.  How about a smoking cabinet for a non smoker?  I remember these from back in the 50's-60's.  They were mass manufactured.  The little door opens for tobacco storage, pipes, etc.  I gave it a spray of paint and put it on the entrance porch.




I saw lots of these recently while on a day trip to Greenwood, Missouri and snagged one very reasonably.  It works really well and since my husband has allergies -
 the bouquet can be on the porch.




I hope you can join me today for my Bernideen's Tea Time, Cottage and Garden Blog Party!

    Oh! How pretty everything looks,Bernideen. I still have my father's old smoking stand and I gave it to my son. It is a great old piece and quite ornate. xo Diana

    Your entrance looks very welcoming, Bernideen. Those things wouldn't last five minutes here at my house because of the wind we have. I always have to hang a heavy wreath on the front door or off it blows with the first gust. I really like the little bird bath filled with flowers; really sweet! The bench is nice too. Thank you for hosting and I trust you have had a lovely Memorial Day weekend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Oh, how CUTE! You know what you should do also? Go to Hobby Lobby or some craft place and get a wooden applique to put on the front - maybe paint it white and give it some dimension with some light shaded wax or gilding.

    I have always wondered what those little cute tables were for; thought either a little phone table and to put phone book and paper and pens inside, or even (gasp) for chamber pots..........had no idea how old they were or anything.

    I love those little tables and ADORE the color you painted it.

    Well done, once again, dear friend. Hugs.

    My parents had one of those cabinets, Bernideen, and when I go back to visit my mom next month, I'm going to look in the basement for it. I always loved it because of its size.
    Your porch looks absolutely charming wth all your special decor. The bench is darling and now I want a birdbath to fill with flowers! I love your style. Thanks for hosting and sharing with us! Happy Memorial Day!

    Your porch is darling, Bernideen. Love the newly painted smoking cabinet. It is too, too cute for smoking paraphernalia. Love the gorgeous flowers in that pretty vase...AND....that chair....oh my, how gorgeous is that. I love the rusty iron back. Yes indeedy, sitting on your porch enjoying a cup of tea does sound bliss. Thank you for your fun linky party. I look forward to visiting other ladies' places.

    What a cute table! The pretty pink colour made me smile. I'm also loving the birdbath repurposed as a flower planter. I may have to borrow that idea! Thank you for hosting and have a wonderful week!

    Hi Bernideen,
    I must apologize for not participating in your Tea in the Garden on Friday. I thought my post was ready but when I looked it over some of the pics were not good and since I was having company for dinner Friday I was busy rushing. So I am posting it today. I adore your sweet pink smoker's table. I have two of them and they do hold some teacups nicely. Lol. Yours looks perfect on your deck. Thank you so much for hosting BTTCG. Blessings, Karen

    I had no idea what a smoker's cabinet looked like. I love what you did to it - it looks so charming on your front porch!
    On another note, I don't think my comments - or my submission of a recipe - go through when I chose the 'identity' of WordPress, so I'm going back to commenting using my Google account. And I hope you see this! (I'm going to resubmit my recipe for Coconut Joy Cream cheese Bars with Chocolate Wafer Crust. I hope it gets to you!!

    Great job on the tobacco cabinet - my family had one or two of those and I don't think anyone ever painted one! So cute on the porch! I love architecture and especially enjoyed the visit to the small towns and the houses. Thanks for hosting also!

    Will be visiting several links, but I can't resist making my first stop "Peaches and Cream and Cake!" Thanks for hosting, Bernideen. And I can't wait to look up how the name of that town is pronounced.
