I have been wanting to paint this cabinet for quite some time. I can’t believe I finally did it!
This is how it looked before. It was stained one color. Enter in Sherwin-Williams “Splashy”. Only my new favorite color!
I decided to tackle this project at 10pm Saturday night. That’s just how I work. I took the doors off the hinges and lightly sanded – I mean LIGHTLY sanded. This piece does not get a lot of wear. I didn’t even prime (gasp). I wanted some wood showing through.
(Do you like the cereal boxes used to hold the doors off the floor!)
After it was painted I rubbed a walnut stain on the painted parts and then quickly wiped it off. It took the “Splashy” down a notch and made it look a little more vintage.
I bought some glass knobs which give it just the right touch.
I added wallpaper to the back of the cabinet. I cut the wallpaper to fit the dimensions on my rotary cutter. I followed the manufacturers instructions on adhering the wallpaper. It was quick and easy.
Whose ready for a tea party?
What a gorgeous color! Love how you put it all together…and any project with little to no sanding is always a plus! (HATE sanding!)
WOW! It’s crazy how color can really transform a piece… and that wall paper? Stunning!
Gorgeous redo! I LOVE the color – one of my favorites. Thanks for linking up to The Weekly Creative.
