From Cool to Way Cool – A Vintage Cabinet

Who doesn’t love a good furniture “Before & After” I ask you??? If the answer is “YOU!” Are you following us on Pinterest? We have tons of before and after ideas shared there!

I bought this very cool cabinet – pictured below. I’m guessing that it got its first makeover in the 50s. Or maybe, it is FROM the 1950s, either way, I loved it

I also had it priced and in the shop. While it is cool, I thought it could be even cooler.

We gave it a fresh coat of our signature creamy white paint and distressed it a bit so just a touch of the muted pink comes through. It doesn’t really even look PINK at all now.

I love how the slatted top looks

The inside even got a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. I wish that I would have thought to get a “before” of the inside. It had some pretty interesting contact paper.

The addition of the new old hardware gives this piece a little bit of elegance. We kept the original surface-mounted hinges.

All in all, I’m super happy with this cutie’s new look. If you haven’t been in the shop lately – we’re open every weekend. Come on in and check out all the super chic vintage pieces we have in stock!
