Cabinet and Congratulations

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!


Now, let's get to the winner of the Mini Book Of Love...

Congratulations to

A big thank you to all who entered this month.

Have a super Saturday everyone!

  7. I thought the "before" was the "after" before I scrolled down! You really couldn't have gone wrong either way, but I LOVE the turquoise. It's such a hot color right now, and it would give any room a "pop" of color. Great job!
