Remember this cupboard with the missing legs that I picked up in a junk shop?
I put it in the basement where it got buried under a pile of paint supplies, wood pieces and a little garbage. (gross, really?) When that part of the basement finally got cleaned up, and I could see it again, I pulled it out and finally started cleaning it up and prepping it for painting.
I started by adding legs…
Originally I was going to use curtain finials but when I was in the hardware store I found the things that go on the top of porch railings (sorry, I don’t know the technical term) for half the price of curtain finials, so out go the curtain finials from the cart and in go the porch rail things. They were rough wood so I put a coat of primer on before putting the paint on.
I was inspired by the color on this blue box I got from the girls at Vintage Junkies and knew that was the color I wanted to use on the cupboard.
So here it is all painted, distressed and waxed…
The back was missing from the cupboard and I need to add one still, but it was much easier to paint the inside without the back on.
Now I just need to decide if I’m keeping it or selling it…..
