You might be thinking - pretty? Pretty hideous maybe. Well, like the desk, I couldn't get it home and needed to wait for my dad to bring it to my house in his truck. In the meantime, he stripped it. You can see where he started doing it ...
And, he painted it for me! For the time being, its in my parents dining room. I'm planning to use in our half bath when we redo it.
I'd like to buy some new hardware for it, but I'm still looking. I'm also considering painting the inside a different color. We'll see ...
Take a peek at the other transformations at Between Naps on the Porch ...
... and Southern Hospitality for all the other great finds!
It's going to turn out absolutely senstionally!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget some after photos

Wow, it looks gorgeous, and your dad was such a doll to strip and repaint it for you. It will be great for a bathroom. So much storage. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLooks fab, how did you get your dad to do all the dirty work?
ReplyDeleteThank you all!
ReplyDeleteMy dad never sits still and he's always doing something. I suppose I get my nervous energy from him. He's retired, so he has more time for these things than I do and now that they have a new house with less maintenece, he has fewer things to do. I told him that I planned to paint it and if he wanted do, he could paint it for me if he had time. I guess he had the time! ;-)
I have a corner cupboard that's a lot like yours. It is painted about the same color and I have had the inside painted both a sage green color and now I have the inside painted black. The black really shows off the pieces I have in the cupboard!!
ReplyDeleteThat really doesn't even look like the same piece!! The white makes the dentil molding at the top really stand out! I think painting the inside would be great idea -
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday Evening -
Hi and what an awesome corner cabinet! You've got a jewel of a daddy to do all of this for you! Now you had better get it home quickly, your folks may not want to give it up! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Very pretty!! That turned out great, it was pretty scary before the transformation. Way to see a diamond in the rough. :)
ReplyDeleteCan I send some stuff over to their house to be stripped to. I hate that part of the job. Great looking piece in the end.
ReplyDeleteHello - is that the same cabinet? Wow, really turned out fabulously! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

HE sripped it and painted it and it's in THEIR dining room--girl, you better be nervous :) It looks great--hope it ends up in your bathroom!
ReplyDeleteThat cupboard was a diamond in the rough!! What a great Dad you have. The cupboard looks wonderful. Sandi
ReplyDeleteCorner cupboards are such space savers. I got one at a consignment store several months ago and it has been a great china storage piece.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous in white! ~Wonderful MM! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! It will be nice in your half bath, but it looks nece at your mom's too! :)
