Git Yer Gun!

Or at least your gun cabinet.  This is one of the first projects I did at my new job.  Sorry for the low quality photos--took them with my horrible phone camera.  I started with a basic gun cabinet, somehat like this, but not quite so fancy and with some really dated etched glass in it.
I removed the glass and the gun cabinet innards and slapped some white, yellow, and blue paint on the cabinet.  I added red over the top and used tape to take the paint off and distress it. 
 I then added shelves, some old tongue and groove boards painted yellow for the back, chicken wire where the glass was, and some fantastic yellow knobs.  It sold within a couple of hours of being in the shop.

    Being terrified of guns and never planning on owning one, I love what you've done with this cabinet!

    Love that this sold so quickly! Of course the makeover you gave it added LOTS of character - no wonder it went so fast. Hoping I can find a really great (and cheap)gun cabinet or armoire or hutch/cabinet or such to use for storage in my daughter's room.

    You go girl! It turned out great! Love the color combinations! You're going to have to demonstrate that tape technique! Sounds interesting!!

    That's amazing! I liked it the old way better. Guess I just like classic looks.
