Simple Cabinet - Before & After

Happy Beautiful Fall Saturday to you.  I told ya last time I'd share some pictures of a cabinet re-do with you so here we go.  I found this old hutch at a junk store - it had some flaws of course but I just loved it from the minute I saw it - it was one of those - "I don't know where it's going but I'm getting it anyway" kind of moments.
 
 
It was oak with this neat tongue and groove back.  Once upon a time it had doors but that's o.k.
 
 
 The first thing I did was use some paint from Lowe's called "Flood Tide" and dry brushed the inside of the cabinet.
 
 
 I truly debated leaving it in it's natural color but in the end - the creamy white won out.
 
 
A heavy distressing...
 
 
I had a roll of $1.00 wallpaper from a clearance bin that I used to line the drawers with.
 
 
 And here it is - Simply filled with some of my white pitchers and a touch of fall along with...
 
 
 ...these beautiful orange bowls my mom gave me.
 
 
 And I've already started to store a few napkins in the drawers.
 
 
 
 This is a shot of the kitchen right beside the cabinet as you'll see in the first picture...
 
 
 
 ...and I just love the way the colors blended together.
 
 
 
 
Hope you have a happy day!

Your kitchen is delightful and I love the white cabinet. I am a white dish lover and the little touch of orange with those beautiful bowls is just perfect. Deb

Love how the cabinet turned out! You should fill the pretty little orange and white bowl with a bunch of candy corn! You have a lovely home.

I turned out so well!
Sometimes we have to get those things that we really want but
not sure what we'll do with it.
