A china cabinet makeover….

June 3, 2010 By Jennifer

I finally painted that old china cabinet! In fact, it’s had many many lives.

China cabinet before. Give it a makeover with paint and door removal.

Here it is in it’s natural wood state. Too dark to heavy  and all of the detail gets lost.

Remove doors and paint china cabinet to give it a make over

Then I went black with the new white walls and added bead board wall paper to the back; but it still felt like the “elephant in the room.”
I finally decided to bite the bullet and paint it cream. I thought I was just going to paint it, But once I painted it, I was inspired to move everything around (Imagine that.. oh and it doesn’t help that my hubby who told me “don’t bring any more furniture into the house!” called me on his way to work and said… “I can’t believe I am doing this, but there is this dresser….” 🙂

China cabinet make over with shelf and door removal and paint.

A china cabinet as a side table

So into to the living room.. ! I thought I would do something different with it. I painted it the wall color and removed the shelves, and used it as a side table.
Turn a china cabinet into a display case
I am glad I saved the doors because now I am using it as a display case . It’s kind of fun to set up vignettes.
vintage locks
I evne hung some vintage locks for embellishment. Just something kind of different!
Have a great weekend!

    I am catching up on your blog posts((The Na Da Show oh my)) and was thinking that your post list at the bottom of the page would look so cool printed out and framed in your Home.
    Love it when my Hubby brings home goodies after telling me that my junk shed can hold no more!!!

    It’s funny but I thought the black was very striking and liked it a lot. I’m seeing more of it in the decorating – but the white is subtle and I do agree that it gives a softer image – that’s more my style. Jennifer jennsthreegraces

    Jen-
    Love what you did with the cabinet!
    Keep those creative juices flowing—-they’re sure to be on overload after going to Farm Chicks!
    You did such a wonderful job at Na-Da
    and all your work was so enticing.
    Kudos to you!

    I LOVE what you did by removing the shelves and hanging the picture. Very original but in a good way. And of course, I’m going to copy what you did!!! Thanks.

    I’m jealous, BOTH of your attending the Farm Chicks show and of your AWESOME cabinet. I have a hutch and a china cabinet both awaiting transformation at the moment but cannot, for the life of me, decide on a color, so I appreciated you sharing this piece’s progress. Helped me envision my own project, and I love the finished product. Gorgeous!

    Jen, I heard via T that you all are going to farm chicks and told her I’m jealous. 🙂 DO have a fab time! Wish I were going to! XXX C

    I love it! It looks amazing in the living room, and what a great idea to take out the shelves! And I really like how you put a lamp inside! 🙂

    I hope and KNOW you are having a blast at Farm Chicks! I have never been but really want to go someday! 🙂

    Have a beautiful day!

    I love it! I was secretly hoping you’d choose cream…and you did. Just for me, I’m sure. 😉

    Thinking of you at Farm Chicks! Wish I could be there! It ended up being such a blessing we didn’t go. My mom had to have an emergency appendectomy 2 weeks ago, and a week later they got the biopsy results and realized she had colon cancer. She’s just had surgery for it this morning. All that is probably TMI except to say that I’m glad we didn’t go to Farm Chicks after all. HOpe you had a fabulous time!
