Why, yes. Yes it is.
The new and improved cabinet.
The new and improved cabinet.
When I first saw this roughed-up little china cabinet I instantly thought 'pie safe.' Mr. Bad thought it looked like too much work and I'd agree if I were replacing the glass and fixing the faux inset. However, I wasn't and I wouldn't and I didn't.
Here we are
before. I want you to know that a lot of thought went into styling this
'before' shot. Har. Especially balancing the little stool on top.
And here is Little Miss Sunshine.
For a little fun and whimsy I painted pie names across the top and then added appliques on the bottom doors for more color. I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Arles, Primer Red and Old White. To get the lighter apricot colors I mixed Old White with Arles. Then, clear wax.
It still has its keys!
I really tried
to keep the distressing to a minimum because the wood was so smooth. I
concentrated on the corners and edges with just a little sanding here
and there.
And again, the entire pie safe.
It felt good to get back
to my whimsical roots. I've missed it. I've missed it so much that
today I bought this 5 1/2 foot tall Dr. Seuss-looking clock off
Craigslist.
I'm going to have fun with this one. :-)
