This week as I was browsing Craigslist I came across this "cabinet" (that's what I'm calling it!) I think it was originally some type of music thing.....Idk! But it is OLD and SOLID and I paid only $20 for it. So I thought it might be cute to use as a type of curio cabinet.
This poor thing was in bad shape, but I knew I was going to paint her.
There were 2 shelves in it, but the top one had no center, and the bottom one had a large round opening it it! You can kinda see it in this picture. I ripped both of those out and added some of my pallet wood to create two rustic looking shelves.
Here is the finished product! I used my go-to white color: Valspar's Polar White in Satin. I made my homemade chalk paint with it. Then I just distressed it! I wanted to keep the shelves rustic looking so I stained them a walnut color instead of painting them.
I am LOVING the way my "cabinet" is looking in the corner of my living room!
