Adding Character to an old Curio Cabinet
As soon as I laid eyes on this piece, I knew it was meant to be.
Oh, the potential. Its large size and glass door had me at first sight. Not to mention it came with lock and key.
You see, I’ve been longing for a pantry, with a gorgeous old door donning a charming word or two indicating it as such. Sigh… we just don’t have a pantry, or space for one for that matter. But then, this old piece:
Yes, this could work.
I’d originally thought I’d paint it, but quickly fell in love with its funky patina. Instead, I sanded it down and added a dark stain (Provincial by Minwax) to its existing pickled finish. The Mr. cut a piece of bead board to fit the back for a punch of texture and I coated the entire inside with crisp white paint.
I then teamed up with Jenna from New York Vinyl (www.newyorkvinyl.com) to design the perfect hint of vintage charm and before I knew it, this old piece was given a new life:
And it’s quickly stealing my heart in our home:
Thanks so much for tuning in today! Happy Weekend!
Seriously one of my most favorite makeover pieces in blogland!! I love that you added the glass detail, white inside etc.. I also adore that you did paint it all white!!!! It’s such a unique & charming find!!
Happy Friday!!
