REMAKING A PRIMITIVE KITCHEN CUPBOARD





This huge project was done for a friend of GG's. It was something they found on a trip and they loved it enough to bring it all the way home. Now it was my turn to update it.

MOUTHWATERING DESK - bright white desk


 

Have you ever seen such a beautiful shabby chic desk.


 

Glass knobs

It has a great foot shelf underneath with caning.


Painted in bright white, distressed, and waxed offering that oh so soft velvety feel.


I had 2 small orb shaped knobs perfect for these mini drawers.

THE BEFORE - window dresser


I recently replaced 3 large ugly drawers in the middle of an old dresser
with a vintage window turned door and cupboard space behind.


 Here are the much anticipated BEFORE shots.




The first time my daughter saw this dresser she remarked on the ugliness of the middle drawers.
Not to worry they will get used in the future but out they go for now.


This is my sliding compound mitre saw, a tool I use just about every day,
and definitely an asset for this project.


 The interior of the cupboard was lined with the wood from the 4 drawers.


A = drawer back
B = drawer bottom
C = drawer sides


There is a great deal of framing going on behind that beautiful wood interior.
Again most of it was the original framing for the drawers just re purposed.


It's like it was meant to be this way always!

OLD WINDOWS - long console cabinet




You can find old windows for free, for a few bucks,or even for a hefty price at used building suppliers or antique stores. Either way they have many great uses when recycled for your home.

CLASSIC FRENCH - 6 drawer dresser

Today is a simple project,
but always a fun project when using ASCP and wax.


I used bright white ASCP and clear wax,
with a gentle distressing to the curves and details.


The six drawers work great after finding the right positions for them,
and a little help from me. 


It has classic provincial hardware and


fabulous solid wood cabriole legs.


Dove tailed drawers


Manufactured by Henry Link.


This chest of drawers also matches this cute single night table.
