What has 2 thumbs and FINALLY finished a project around the house?
This girl *points to self with thumbs*
Painting the linen cabinet has been on my to-do list since I moved in (it’s at the end of the hallway, next to the master bedroom door). I love the extra storage, but the wood screams “Look at me! I was built in the 80s!”
I had planned on this being a weekend project, but it ended up being a weekend + 3 days project. It took a coat of primer and 3 coats of paint to cover the wood. I don’t know what they stained that wood with, but it was hellacious! It probably would have been a good idea to sand them first…regardless; it was worth all the work.
Doesn’t it make the hallway feel so much lighter and brighter?! White paint never ceases to amaze me.
And of course everything looks better with a puppy!
Looks great in white!! Megan
ReplyDeleteIt looks so much brighter now with the white paint! I sooo wish I could do that with all the dark wood trim and the dark wood cabinet door in our living room- it makes everything feel so dated! White paint is a miracle worker!
ReplyDeleteThat puppy just melts my heart...but once I stopped gazing adorably at her I gushed about the gorgeous new cabinet, too - what a huge difference! It's like you helped it travel through time by at least a couple of decades.
ReplyDeleteSo, I was looking at this post in my google reader, and I didn't even see the linen closet until the picture of it white. Does it brighten the hall, uh, YES!!!
ReplyDeleteYup, loads better!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, it does look so much better!
ReplyDeleteWow looks totally different! Looks AWESOME - and totally brand new. Paint does amazing things :)
