I have done a few other pieces for my hair girl. She moved into a new space and needed a very specific sized counter for storage. I started with an old kitchen upper cupboard from Habitat For Humanity. This piece needed to be very narrow so an upper cabinet was the key to getting that.
I painted it French Linen and Old Ochre from ASCP. I addded a reclaimed wood top that I painted so it wasn't too rustic for the salon. It looks uneven here because I need hubby's muscle power to get a couple screws all the way screwed in. I attached the top through the top of the inside cupboard into the bottom of the counter top wood.
I put reclaimed oak paneling across the back,
and a shelf with some quarter round trim across the open bottom spot.
Big, chunky handles and hooks give this piece a shabby, industrial feel.
The end cupboards have three shelves in each of them--lots of storage!
I also added locking casters, which you of course can't see here in the grass. This piece had some challenges, but my hairdresser was happy with the results, as was I and I am thrilled to get my grey colored soon!
