ART IS BEAUTY: Rescued Cabinet DIVA RED Makeover

Hello again my BEAUTIES!

Its Themed Furniture Makeover day here

with the DIY furniture girls.

This months Theme was RED, and did I have the PERFECT piece for it!

(I even used some of the left over RED on a fun little craft you can see HERE)

I rescued this sweet little cabinet and I knew that after everything that this

cabinet must have been through that it deserved to be

DIVA RED!

You can see from the top, she had a bit of a rough life

Someone had a good time grooving graphiti into her.

I used stripper twice on the top to get some of the old finish off,

but even after that she required the BELT SANDER.

I had to take it down pretty good to get all of the gouges out

but I knew she would be worth it.

Here is the top after being belt sanded.

and here it is with a nice rich coat of Provincial on the top.

I had already premixed up my custom DIVA RED and loved the dark wood with the red.

While the top was drying I painted the red on the base.

After the base had been painted and waxed and buffed I knew she needed some

jewelry besides her knew shiny knobs.

So I pulled out a damask stencil I had and used a vintage silver colored craft paint to add the

detail. I made sure to wrap around to the top and side for added effect.

I think you will agree, it made all the difference

and she is INDEED a DIVA now!

As I was typing this up I realized how great this piece would be for a vanity

sink in a bathroom.

I am so sad that we are redoing our small half bath by the laundry room

but this is too wide to fit in there.

I love the total transformation of this piece!

She truly went from Dumpster to DIVA!
