My Fabulous Liquor Cabinet

We have kept our liquor under our sink forever, never have had a real place to put it.  My bar glasses were over the sink where I had to get a ladder to have a glass of wine.  So, we were long overdue for someplace to put our booze.
Scene 1:  Garage sale down the street.  Found this cute cabinet for $40.00.  Fell in love.

Scene 2:  Clean this baby up.  It is grimey.  I TSP (tri sodium phosphate), then I sand--still yellow crud rolling off.


Scene 3: Finally, I deem it ready for paint. My choice:  A Coca-Cola red! I distressed it, in keeping with it's old/folksy style.


Scene 4: It seemed too dark inside, so I took the old girl uptown. I added a stainless steel contact paper made by Duck (the tape people) in the backwalls to reflect some light, and added a cute shelf liner.  A push light in the top, and we are in business!

  1. LOVE this cabinet! I have not done as many projects that I've found on Pinterest as you have, but I hope to do a few soon. Nice redo!
