Funky Junk from the Country: Vintage Shabby Cabinet

Shabby Vintage Cabinet

Are you like me and love lots of little drawers? This vintage cabinet has the drawers and more. Come check out the transformation......

This is the original cabinet with missing drawers. It was in decent shape, a solid piece that needed some TLC! I purchased this piece at an auction and paid more for it than I wanted too. My Hubby always tells me we want to sell it, not own it. That's true, yet this piece was so cool I knew after I finish it I can still get my money back on it.

I am very thankful that my Hubby can fix and build the additional pieces I need to finish my projects. He built several drawers from scrap wood we had lying around and adjusted several other drawers.

My studio had been overflowing with furniture and this cabinet sat for almost a year. Over that time we had been searching for legs for the cabinet. Everything I choose he didn't like and vice versa. {{hahaha}} We were at an auction and came across some cast iron legs that were covered in porcelain. We looked at them and instantly knew they would be perfect for this cabinet.

We were missing drawer pulls and half of the label holders were long gone. That's when Ebay and Etsy came into play. I searched, ordered and received in record time. Amazing!

I knew I was going to paint it and just needed to decide on a color. Since I wanted to keep it I went Antique White General Finishes Milk Paint. I am a milk paint fan and that is my go to color!

The handles and label holders needed to be painted, so I used Rustoleum Spray Paint in Antique White to match, knowing that I would lightly {{very lightly}} brush them with milk paint.
