Once we got the treasure home, my husband and I started the project by removing the doors, hardware, glass and back panel from the cabinet. Then, I lightly sanded everything using a palm sander and a little elbow grease. My husband also put his carpentry skills to work by adding a wine rack inside. To do this, he removed the shelf inside and cut it. He also installed a divider between the wine rack area and the remainder of the inside so he could reinstall the shelf and use it to stabilize the wine rack. Then we purchased 4" PVC pipes to make the wine rack. They were cut to size and painted with Krylon Fusion plastic spray paint. Finally, we glued the pipes together and secured them inside the cabinet.
Although I loved the turquoise paint on the inspiration piece, the color combination didn't coordinate with the decor in my kitchen. So, I decided on a neutral satin black paint and fabric to coordinate with my window treatments, area rugs, and barstool seats.
The Result...
Finally, after multiple coats of paint on the entire cabinet it was ready for reassembly. We glued the fabric to the back panel and reattached it, put the doors back on, and added the new hardware I purchased.
We are very pleased with the results. Once again you can see how paint can completely change the look and style of an item -- bringing it back to life with a modern, chic look!
