So excited to finally be sharing this makeover with you guys.
The before, wow, when we picked up this piece was in pretty bad shape but I knew it was heavy and sturdy and just big enough of a piece that was needed for the main living room space.
I found it on FB Marketplace of course and for a fraction of the price that a new piece smaller than this would have cost if we would have bought it new.
It was missing the glass from the doors and had quite a few nicks and scratches all around, nothing a furniture maker couldn't fix temporarily and I even debated leaving it the original wood color and simply fixing the doors situation.
But after doing a poll over on Instagram it was clear that painting it was the way to go and I'm so happy we did because it gives our space a more sophisticated look.
This project wasn't hard or time consuming at all. And that's what I love about the chalk paint that I use on furniture, it covers well enough the first coat that for the second coat you barely have to cover much.
After painting the piece I let it cure over night, the next day I sealed it in clear wax. It's the perfect matte sheen and easy enough to wipe or dust clean when needed.
I also, rubbed and buffed the knobs then all I did was staple the cane webbing onto the doors and voila!
