Did you ever have a piece of furniture you’d been carrying with your for a long time knowing that one day you’d find the perfect project for it in the perfect place?
That was me.
See that brown wine rack up there?
You know…the one that was missing the glass in the front door long before I ever stumbled upon it nine years ago in a tiny little hodge podge antique / pottery / garden decor shop outside of Scottsdale, Arizona?
You know…the one I carted to four different houses in three different states because I *knew* one day I would find the perfect project for it in the perfect place?
Well, it turns out it just needed a partner to complete the set!
I found the purple mirror for $8 at GoodWill. A coat of white chalk paint later (plus a little gray dry brushing on top!) and my entryway is now complete!
I’ve given all of you my “go-to” method for painting and aging furniture with chalk based paints before. You can find it by clicking here! You know me…I keep it simple. Base coat, dry brushing, and wax…I promise anyone can do it!
And the part I love the most about this little makeover? The front of the wine cabinet.
IT’S POSTER BOARD!
Again, I keep things simple around here! I painted a piece of the thickest black poster board I could find grey. Cut the design using my Silhouette. Weeded it as a stencil and painted it right on there! Some of the grey paint lifted with I peeled off the stencil, but that was totally ok by me…it looks like it’s just as old as the cabinet itself! You can find the design I used for free from The Graphics Fairy here!
Enjoy!
