PAINTED ANTIQUE CABINET MAKEOVER

I’d like to tell you a little bit about this piece, share all about the paint I am using and take you along to see it transform.

I loved the shape, the size, the simplicity, and I even loved the chippy paint and wear that was obvious from this old piece.

PAINTING AN ANTIQUE CABINET WITH CHALK PAINT

I selected this color called “Evening Shadow” for the outside of this cabinet.

ANTIQUE CABINET PREP WORK

When it came to the prep work for this piece, I did not do a whole lot except for scrub it down really good. This piece was pretty dirty and grimy.

CABINET PAINTING BRUSHES

I used a couple of Pure and Original brushes to apply my paint. I felt a brush would help me paint in the crevices of this bead-board better than a roller would.

PAINTING PROCESS

Painting a cabinet is pretty straightforward. I taped off areas I didn’t want paint on. I worked from the inside out.

I ended up needing 2 coats of the Classico Chalk Paint. I felt like it had really great coverage, and the 2 pints of paint were just enough.

Once the piece was all painted, dried, I played around filling it up with all our extra linens. Let’s open it up and check out the inside.
