Anyway, I picked up a cute little cabinet last summer at an estate sale. It looked like it had been handmade, and I found out later than it was, by the gentleman whose estate this was. Sad, he had passed away but there were a ton of treasures to be found!! The cabinet was pine and his dear wife had painted fruit on each of the drawers. Cute, but not the style I wanted!!
Sorry, I don't have a "before" pic. I am not very good at that!!
I removed the old hardware and painted it with Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Old White" -2 coats. I then distressed it- just sanding off some of the paint in spots.
The finished product!!
I purchased some cute turquoise knobs at Hobby Lobby( half off) and added those to the drawers. They just add that cute touch!!
I put this little gem in my booth and she sold the very next day!! Maybe I will find more "gems" like this when garage sale season starts!! For now I am only dreaming!!

ReplyDeleteI like how you aged down the space behind the knobs. It looks realisticly older.

I found your blog through Katie Treasures. I can see why the cabinet sold the next day. It's a great piece. I also love the letter K that sits on top of it. Did you make that or buy it? I am a new follower and also a new blogger. I would love if you could visit.
