Floral & Shabby Curio Cabinet

painted furniture, distressed painting, makeover, curio cabinet
Both kitty and pumpkin approved.

This floral and shabby corner curio cabinet.








She was a tired old thing.

After being scrubbed and lightly sanded, she took a short nap.






Rust-Oleum in Heirloom White.
















Just a light coat - front and back.

Then heavily sanded.










Mod Podged this faded floral calico paper on each shelf.

Dry-brushed a Sea Mist green (Folk Art) here, there, and everywhere. 

Several coats of satin varnish.





Miss Floral and Shabby looked very pretty, but no room for her here.

So off to Booth C-23 she went.











I wish I had bought more of this paper.

It has been hidden in a stack of junk. 

I know it has been years since I bought it.


 
Is it illegal to scan and print?

Probably.

SSSHHH!!!  Don't tell!




Perfect for displaying your tiny pumpkins.














Definitely pumpkin-approved!







I looked back to find a project using the floral paper - had to go all the way back to August, 2012 - Priscilla, Plant Princess.

Gosh, my blog was awful back then! 



See y'all!

  4. I try to never go past 2010 when looking at old blog posts of mine. My blog was atrocious for years before I figured out what I was doing.

  8. HI Donna,
    I like these corner pieces- so handy for displaying little things.
    I cringe when I look at old posts, too. Yikes. :) But hey, we were learning!

  12. I love the shabby look! The dry brush color is perfect. I am struggling to get that look on my painted projects. Probably because I am afraid to sand too much!

  13. Love the shelf and I have a much smaller version of it. I love the color Heirloom white and use it often in our old home. It turned out really nice...
