Shaker Style Cabinet Revamp

One of the big projects I've been working on this summer has been my bathroom makeover, changing up paint, lighting, mirrors and adding storage after I took out a medicine cabinet. I am almost done, but wanted to do another post update on my progress.

I got a good deal on this shaker style cabinet I found at a consignment shop a few years ago. It was originally green with these cutesy, horrific pink cherries someone had painted inside it. So, I painted it white with blue distressed doors and it sat in my living room for a year and a half.

Until I needed more space for storage in our small bathroom. After taking measurements I found out the cabinet would fit perfectly in the upstairs bath right next to the tub. Like it was made for that space!

The nice thing about this cabinet is that the doors pop out-how convenient for me and my idea adding chicken wire after painting a cheery pop of tangerine orange on the shelves.

my finished cabinet!

I used small baskets to hide toiletry items neatly in the cabinet

As a finishing touch, I added chicken wire easily with wire cutters and a staple gun so the pretty orange shelves could show through.

I can't wait to reveal the entire bathroom remodel-new lighting is in, new mirror, paint colors too. All I need to do to finish is create some homemade art for decorating the walls. I found some good deals today at Saver's that have lots of potential to be transformed....stay tuned for the big reveal!

Hello Yellow: Pie Safe Revamp

Ok, here's the big furniture project I've been working on for the past week:

Changing my pie safe from reddish-orange (the color it was when I bought

it from the antique market about 5 years ago) in the picture below...

To a vibrant yellow! Enjoy a short video of the reveal below!

Here I am doing some finishing touches with my new Dremel (in my 

classy safety goggles) lightly sanding the edges and using

the brush attachment to remove paint that had gotten onto the metal latch.

I used Martha Stewart paint in Yellow Magnolia and I love how this

not- too- bright yellow pops out cheerfully against my pale gray walls.

(It's important to let you know I used two coats of primer before
adding the yellow to let the true color stand out and last longer).

Yes, I am in love with yellow and gray.

Previously I had put metal screen inside the doors for decoration and

to keep little hands out, but I thought switching it to

 chicken wire would be a nice change. 

I cut it with wire cutters and attached it with 

a staple gun. Pretty simple. 

And a decorative way to kid-proof your home.

I will be working on changing my side tables in my living room soon, because as much as

I love color, it is even becoming a little to rainbow-like for me. 

They will still have color, but more complimentary to my new love for yellow. 

Next, I'm excited to be showing you what I've done to create a gallery wall display

in my dining room. Transforming traditional into modern and eclectic.

Stay tuned...
