I have had this cabinet (well the bottom half) for 12 years. You can read about how I acquired it
here. I tired of it--it was a little too country for me I guess, plus I didn't ever have a great place for it in this house. Friends that own a thrift store wanted a cabinet to display things in, so off it went on consignment, after a makeover. The original top half I am using as a divider. This top was from another cabinet I had, whose bottom needs lots of work (the cabinet's bottom, not mine--well on second thought, both of ours Ü).
The top was this barn red (I had started painted the inside cream and then remembered to take a picture).
I painted some barn red over my brown cabinet so that when I sanded it, the same colors would show through. I then painted it black, cream on the inside, and added beadboard to the back of the top cabinet. I liked how the cream shoewed through when I sanded, it matches the hardware well. I was tempted to stick it back in my house after painting it black, but I was strong and said goodbye!
That is a fabulous cabinet! I absolutely love it! I am on the lookout for something similar to that around here. Hoping to find something CHEAP! We'll see.
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! I could have used it yesterday in my booth as we were moving into the window space. I would have sold instantly!!! Great job, I love your projects- Krista
ReplyDeleteThat would've been hard to part with when all said and done. But you persevered!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job! Love the added beadboard and cream color inside.

Gorgeous! I know this may be dumb, but where did it go?
ReplyDeleteI can be a little slow....:)
It's gorgeous! I'm coveting it. That's bad on my part...but feel good that I love it so much. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cabinet. You did a fabulous job painting it and adding beadboard. I would have had a hard time letting it go too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! the black and white are such a fresh change! Jen
ReplyDeleteIm partial to red myself, and was a bit concerned when you said you were painting it black...but it looks fantastic! What a great job you did, the cream/white looks great too! Like most of my jobs, I finish them, then want to keep them, stay strong!

I would have had a hard time parting with it too. It turned out beautiful! I can just see little collectibles in it.
