Cabinet Reveal

It was exciting to get up this morning to see all the pieces dried and ready to move inside.

And yes this was the day all three pieces where moved into to the house.  They fit perfectly in the spot I had planned for them.  

One whole wall of pretty storage.  Can't wait for the bulbs for the side cabinets to arrive.

I am so happy the way they all turned our and work together.

These door knobs are so gorgeous.  They just sparkle in the light.  I painted the brass pieces white before adding the knobs.  Defiantly didn't want any brass left unpainted.

Same on the bottom of the cabinet, I painted the brass pieces white and left them on for a little extra detail.

The detail on the lower piece looks good painted white.  I was hoping it would show up and look pretty.

Love the way they all just fit along the wall.

And the drawer looks good and still has a non slip texture.  Sort of feels like suede now.

I would defiantly paint flocking again to clean up an old vintage drawer.

This took me over a week to finish but I love the way it all turned out.

Prepping Cabinets Day 1

I started priming the base of the china cabinet first with the primer and stain blocker.

I like the detail on the bottom panel, can't wait to see it in white.

Then the top piece got primer next.

I was able to remove the glass from the doors for painting but the panes on either side wouldn't come out.  This was a challenge to paint.  I was able to get the glass slightly loose, then I slipped a piece of paper between the glass and my paint brush.    That made it possible to paint each side without getting paint on the glass.

These are the two side pieces I bought to complete my storage units.  All three pieces are going to be painted with a satin finish white paint.  That way since the woods are different all three pieces will look good together.

The door on the right hand cabinet was broken when we purchased it, in 3 pieces.

Before priming I glued and filled the pieces together then reinstalled the door panel into the cabinet.

Luckily these cabinets are made so that the bottom panels are removable which made it easier to repair.

The next thing I did was to remove the glass from these doors, and the priming began.

Happy Decorating!
