Hall Stand Cabinet Makeover

 

We were in a second hand shop the other day and spotted this hall stand cabinet and I just instantly knew that it was exactly what I was looking for and where in the house it was going to go, no, not it the hallway but in the living room, replacing a table, and it was going to get a makeover. I was thinking pink!, pretty pastel pink.

It is going to take pride of place here, replacing this table we have had there for years now.

We stopped in past Bunnings for some paint samples and decided that this was going to be the colour...Cherry Vanilla by British Paints.

We also bought replacement drawer handles.

I loved the detailing and the fact it had a mirror and hooks as I could dress it up with different hanging items, and the inside of the drawers had cute lining on them.

Being second hand, there were a few bits and bobs that needed attention, one of the door fronts was damaged behind the handle and the one of the back legs had been water damaged, the wood had blown, but Scott fixed them up no bother.

We took it apart and sanded it down outside.

He also sorted the damaged parts.

The space where it is going to sit.

Once it was sanded, we took it inside and put it back together as it would be easier to paint in one piece.

It was then undercoated with white paint.

Then came the first coat of glorious pink 😍

Then the second coat.

And the final coat. Oh boy, am I going to have fun adding various decorative items, especially at Christmas 💗

The drawer handles are just perfect.

And the finished piece decorated. I am beyond delighted as to how it turned out, it is simply perfect.
