My Dad built this piece in shop class and it was in our house growing up as long as I can remember. My parents recently moved and no longer had space for it, so I took it off their hands. It is a beautiful cabinet and is really well built (as you can tell because it can hold my big ol' booty). I wanted to change the color and make it into a statement piece.
Went out to my sister's house and set to work with her!
I started by taking off the doors on both sides.
Then I got to use power tools... exciting! I sanded the whole thing down so it was ready for some paint.
Then I loaded it up in my car and headed home. Hubs and I double teamed it the next afternoon and spray painted the whole thing a beautiful pistachio green. Let it dry overnight and then I mod-podged some red polka dot paper to the shelves.
I was happy with how it turned out but then the fun part came and I was REALLY happy!
Added our red coffee maker and our Keurig, then mugs and coffees. Then I got to add some fun decorative pieces!
Very happy with how it turned out, it adds a lot to what used to be an empty area of our kitchen.
When we have a bigger house I will surely be adding many more statement pieces like this one!

Love it! So glad you went with green instead of following my advice! "Just follow your heart, Napoleon. That's what I do."
That looks so good!! I love the color, and the liner you used! And you're so brave to sand like that!! :) Tonya
