I have been looking for a cabinet that will fit the corner of my kitchen. It's a very narrow space between the window and the pantry so it couldn't be more than 23" wide or 12" deep and I needed drawers and shelves to hold my work supplies. I bought a tape measure to keep in my purse and every time I went into a store that had furniture, I'd look. And every week or so, I'd check Craigslist--nothing. For so long that it became part of my regular routine.
Can you spot the kitty?
Finally, FINALLY, I found this beauty for $40 on Craigslist. It was absolutely perfect, except that there is not a single piece of white furniture in my entire house. Luckily, my can of black spray paint is still warm from the last project I conquered.
Aah, better already.
Now to jazz it up a little. I used these vinyl decals but if your taste is not as quirky as mine, there are plenty of more classic options like birds or trees that are a little more understated.
I LOVE it! I thought it looked good at first, but after seeing the final project, only one word comes to mind-AMAZING! You did an awesome transformation :)
Just saw this older post. What a marvelous transformation - the small cabinet doesn't look anything like the Plain Jane it used to be, now it is vivacious and fun.
Oh my goodness! I love it! The decals give it such a great flare. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect size, and it came out great! I love small cabinets like that.

ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous, I wish I had your energy and creativity. Judy
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful and it's perfect for your space. I would have went with black paint too because it would fit my space better than white.
ReplyDeleteI really have to look into those vinyl decals. I'm seeing so many cute things being done with them.
40 bucks for that piece was already a steal, but now you even made it look like a custom made piece for your style. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! I design vinyl decals for a company and I've never thought about using them in this way.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this piece!! Thanks for the blog comment and glad you noticed my Etsy name - DeeCaffeinated! ♥
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! and makes me wanna do my hallway project (I was planning to paint dandelions on a wall) :))
