You might have noticed my pretty china cabinet in the background of pictures shown in recent posts, so I thought it was time to share how I upcycled my thrift store cabinet!
Since I didn't want to spend hours sanding, I painted a coat of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer Sealer Stain Killer first. Then I painted on two coats of Martha Stewart Living paint in Flagstone. (love this gray!)
It took forev but I love how it turned out!

AFTER:
I found the ivory and antiqued brass hardware at Hobby Lobby.
I love having a place to display my pretty china and glassware! Aren't the matching Christmas plates the cutest?
Looks great! I spy a tree! Can't wait to see your Christmas decor!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! What a great improvement! :)
