Antique Cabinet Makeover

An antique cabinet makeover

I got this cabinet from someone on Freecycle. You can google Freecycle, if you have not heard of it before. The lady, who I got it from, told me that this cabinet was almost 70 years old.

Bottle shaped Bud Vase – simple makeover with big impact

Bud vase - Hand Painted

Today I have for you, a very simple 20 minute makeover of a bud vase, which I bought for it's shape and size. Pictures below are self explanatory of the transformation. I cut the scallop shaped tape in the middle for the pattern I was aiming for. You can change the shape with other patterns by the same brand. They have couple more I guess. I was painting it for Christmas decor, that's why a little blingy. You can go subtler or even louder. All taped up and ready for the ... continue reading...
