The Latest Cabinet Makeover
The latest project to hit Painted Cottage is a Cottage Chic Rustic Wall Cabinet Makeover. I purchased this small wall cabinet many years ago. Back in it’s day it was very stylish. It actually still holds a lot of charm but needed some freshening up. The color was much darker than it appears in the before photos and the plaid fabric was worn and faded.
As you can see the cabinet was great to begin with, I just happen to have a desire to paint everything light right now. It does make an amazing transformation just by adding a coat of creamy white chalky paint.
When I opened the door I immediately thought that this would make a great tea cabinet.
Close Ups of the Cottage Chic Rustic Wall Cabinet Makeover
Adding the small chicken wire to the front also lightened up the appearance of the cabinet. The shelves were the perfect size to store tiny demitasse cups, a dainty creamer and a wire basket to hold the assorted tea bags.
The open shelf holds 2 teacups and saucers perfectly. There is a nice drawer on the bottom that could house tea strainers, etc.
You could also put small vases or mason jars in the bottom drawer and do a pretty floral arrangement of either fresh or dried flowers. So many possibilities for this versatile little rustic wall cabinet.
Thank you for visiting. Until next time keep those creative juices flowing. Always look at things with a different eye.
