After
I reckon this early 1900's cabinet was originally some kind of kitchen dry store or food safe though I picked it up for $60 off eBay knowing it would be a perfect new house for all my shoes (oh, and some of Luke's too I spose - if I really have to share. Nah, actually I think he probably has more than me!).
This was the simplest of makeovers. I really wanted to retain the chippy, shabby appeal of the finish and although it might look fine as is in the before pic it was actually kinda dirty and cruddy so all I did to enhance its charm was give it a thorough once-over with the palm sander. Easy! I didn't even bother sealing it.
To finish I simply attached a couple of new el-cheapo tear drop handles from the hardware store.
The adorning vignette features my gift wrap wall art, a giant gal 'K' and rectangular box from Provincial Home Living, terracotta potted rosemary plants, my DIY stick topiary (complete with real moss I pinched from the garden) and thrifted rustic bird cage and silver bust.
