Have any old ugly furniture that you're replacing? Or do you want something that you can't afford? That was me. I really wanted a cabinet that would hold all my spices so that I could have easy access to them while cooking, but I couldn't spend a lot to get what I wanted. So, I took a couple trips to DI before I found this little number. Of course, at the time, it was a horrid brown color with nasty decor all over it and disgusting old knobs. But then, it only cost
ten dollars!!! I took off the excess decor, knobs, and sanded the entire thing down. Then I painted it in dark green and let it dry. I did a second coat in the spots I knew would show. Then I painted the parts I wanted crackled in antique white and put on the crackle medium. I did this one side at a time to make sure the sides weren't too dry for the crackle. Then, I put on new knobs, and hung it up! Hooray, new spice cabinet for me!
That is so clever! I need to do more stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteDang, Melinda. Can you come live with me for a while and teach me all your tricks that I'd never think of on my own, or know how to do if I did think of it??
