Ok, for those who have been waiting for the reveal of the little cabinet I got over Christmas, here's the finished product:
This project was super easy.
I didn't even sand this cabinet before I started painting it.
It was already covered in a chalky white, so I painted two coats of turquoise and let that dry.
The next step was to sand some of the paint off in random places.
Followed that up with a little bit of chocolate brown paint.
I used a moist paper towel to apply the brown.
I rubbed it on in places and then quickly wiped some of it off to give it that worn, weathered look.
I then applied leftover wrapping paper to the inside back wall of the cabinet using Mod Podge.
Distressed the paper with a bit more sanding and
Voila!
