BEFORE
Before I started to paint, I prepped the cabinet.
I covered the mirror with paper and painters tape, took the glass off the door
AND
Stripped the original stain using a palm sander.
Next I was off to my favorite home improvement store to purchase the paint. I like to buy oops paint for my furniture projects, so I headed over to that section. I was in luck when I found two sample jars of white latex paint for $1.00. Paint samples are great for small projects like this. In case you're wondering what oops paint is, it is paint that home improvement stores tint incorrectly and the purchaser is unhappy with the color. If you want to save some money on paint, find out where the oops paint is in your home improvement store.
Now it was time to paint the cabinet.
I gave it two coats of paint.
I gave it two coats of paint.
After the paint dried, I distressed the cabinet with sandpaper.
I purchased a roll of chicken netting and used my wire cutters to cut the size I needed for the door.
Since I was going Farmhouse Style with the cabinet, I wanted the shiny chicken netting to look rusty. My solution....Shop Michaels Online
I love blue and white, so it was a no brainier as to what I would display in the cabinet. I have been collecting blue and white plates over the years. I have some displayed on my wall and on a plate rack in my kitchen. Now I can display some in my new farmhouse cabinet.
If you like this project feel free to pin it!
What a great transformation!! Beautiful!!

It wil more animated if we use pink and some cute stickers, isn’t it?
But I think it will be very tired when you complete it. so what you need is a message chair
