About a month ago, I had been driving around and saw a church yard sale. I LOVE yard sales, and I couldn’t help myself. When I walked up, I immediately spotted this beauty. (Alright, if we are going to be honest, it’s not that great!)
It was only $20 and I had been wanting to find something for an odd corner in my kitchen. I excitedly purchased it and hurried home. Upon arrival my husband did not seem near as excited as I was, but he helped me unload it and move it into the house. I had a small table in the place that the “new” cabinet would go, so I moved it temporarily into our living room…it’s still there, but I will talk about that later. It fit perfectly. The next day, I took some paint I had from some other projects and mixed it to make a blue-ish color. I removed all the hardware and then dry-brushed the paint on. You basically just get as much paint OFF the brush as possible.
When my husband got home the next day he told me that “it was a good thing you painted it, because the next time you left the house, it might have been gone!” Let’s just say he likes it A LOT better painted, as do I!
I’m trying to hide an old doggy door from the previous owners with the curtains…it’s not working too well. Any suggestions?

I love it painted too, and from what I can see of your decor, it goes perfectly….how fun! You did a great job. Debbie
Thanks, Debbie! It takes my husband a while to come around! 😉
LOVE how this came out! Gorgeous color and finish. Wish it was mine.
Love the new look of your cabinet! It turned out great! 🙂 It looks perfect — especially with all the goodies you put on it.
What a redo! I like the contrast of the blue acabinet and the green wall. $20 – that is a steal!
I also have a corner cabinet/ hutch that I bought off of Craigslist over a month ago. It still sits in the garage… perhaps my next project to tackle.
