I think it was fall when I first saw this mini cupboard, it was attached to an email asking if I could give it a makeover. I was intrigued and let her know something could definitely be done to update and beautify the piece.
Fast forward 3/4 of a year and the owner has changed plans
and sold me the cabinet as is was. I had a special set of
legs put a side. Originally taken from a big broken down
coffee table, the legs were gorgeous but the shape was a bit
different. I got underneath the cabinet and checked out how
they would work, conclusion was they would attach well and
create a great new style. I installed 3 small trim pieces to the
top edge making a crown and changing the cabinets shape.
I added to this new style by removing the simple handles and
replacing them with vintage French Provincial ones.
*******************************************
The cabinet even came with a skeleton key, it's not the
original and doesn't work perfectly but it adds to the overall glamour.
The drawers got antique drop pulls left over from an older
project. When your hardware is super fancy you can paint it
the same color as the furniture and it will still pop and look stunning!
This cabinet is loved again and fits perfectly in it's new home.
