I figured I may as well post what I have been up to. Somehow between feeding the baby, making PB&J’s for the 2 year old, nonexistant naptimes, laundry, cleaning and a seemingly neverending schedule of hoiliday and youth group events one project has been completed. YAY. This Craigslist freebie needed some work but I am thrilled with the results.

| Did you notice my husband’s leg poking out from behind the cabinet? That’s him back there doing some demo and he did the reconstruction too! |
A pretty fabulous vintage piece but, it didn’t work and had quite a few dings and dents. So, after some reconstruction (by the hubs), a few coats of Annie Sloan Old White Chalk Paint distressed and waxed on the exterior, a gray paint on the interior, and oil rubbed bronze hardware, here it is.
After
All ready for the winter holidays.
p.s. I’ll tell you the story of the wooden highchair another day. 😉
I found you through MMS! Again, I LOVE, LOVE this piece, you did a GREAT job!
Very nice upcycle…love the wine cabinet idea. The finish is perfect! My husband and I are working on a a 1930's radio cabinet turned bar. It's completely different in a manly sort of way since he's in charge of this particular project. 😉 Almost done though! It's been quite the project. Hope you can come by and see it when it's done!
What a score! I love how you repurposed this cabinet. It's a nice size for almost anything. Great job. Dee
Thanks!
Omg, I have one just like this!!! Thank you I am now inspired to create something like you did :-). Yay!!!
go for it!
