Vintage Charmer China Cabinet

28 Sep Vintage Charmer China Cabinet

This just may be my favorite transformations to date.

The hardest part was deciding on which color to paint it.

I didn’t like the red on this one, so I wiped it off, but should I do the Destin or the custom Green recipe that was left over from the CeCe Caldwell’s Sample Pot Display that I painted last week?    Hmm, decisions, decisions…

Wanna find out what I decided on?

The custom color was inspired by this hydrandga wreath

It totally popped off the green, Well of course it would, just like nature intended.  So I painted it in my custom color, a blend of CeCe Caldwell’s Cinco Bayou Moss, Destin Gulf Green, Spring Hill Green and Carolina Sun Yellow.

I decided the wreath and the china cabinet had to stay together so I made it part of the package.  If you’re in the store, don’t try to take it off and buy it, it’s not sold separately.  I actually nailed it to the back of the door after I shot these photos because they were made for each other.

I really enjoyed painting this china cabinet; it has so much character!

I left the top in it’s original chippy state, just giving it a really good cleaning and reconditioning to accentuate it’s character.  I hate making something old look brand new, I like to transform things and give them new life, but it’s important to me to me that you don’t loose the charm in the remake.

We just dropped her off to our Shizzle Design booth at Not So Shabby in charming downtown Zeeland Michigan.

You can do so many cool things with CeCe Caldwell’s amazing all natural chalk and clay based mineral paints.
