The Best of What Meegan Makes-2012

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!! Ours was full of family, friends, and food!! I am now excited to share “The Best of What Meegan Makes-2012”!!

Vintage Cupboard Makeover:

I have showed you my antique cupboard before:

I LOVE this cupboard. As a brief history, I received her from a friend who was going to take her to the dump!

I made her over a few months back. She was working really well in this room, until I painted the room “Hint of Olive”. Then the blue was clashing-REALLY bad!!

So I got to work again. This time I painted the core of the cupboard antique white. And the silver drawers and cupboard doors with “Hint of Olive” by Ace Hardware. Oh wow!! SO MUCH BETTER!!!

I sanded her up a little and stenciled a few designs on her for some pizazz!!

It is interesting working with such an old piece of furniture. You never how the surface will turn out while sanding it. That is apparent in this picture. I used the same grit sandpaper on both panels. Interesting…

Here she is again!! The core is painted with antique white, the blue drawers are Olympic Satin “Turquoise Mist”, and the other drawers are “Hint of Olive” by Ace Hardware. Lovely-just lovely!! Now the room feels like it is coming together!! You might also like to see my Family Gallery Wall hanging just above this cupboard. Like I said, it feels like it is all coming together! Whew!

I loved all three versions of that great piece! I have a secretary that I am dying to re do but I’m scared I’m going to ruin it…you have given me courage and inspiration, thanks!
