About a year ago, I wrote a post about all the “stuff” I had stashed in my shed and how I had been thinking of selling some of the furniture pieces by doing a Fall show. Well let’s just say that never happened.
Here we are a year later and I’m thinking the same thoughts only this time I’ve actually started working on some of the furniture pieces that I had in my shed. One piece that I finished is this vintage jelly cabinet.
This is what it looked like before.
I painted it with a homemade chalk paint and finished it with clear and dark wax.
I left the top as is because I thought it added more character to this piece. I also used the original porcelain knobs. The chicken wire doors are also original to this jelly cabinet.
If any of you local people are interested in purchasing this piece, e-mail me….it’s for sale!
To be continued….more shed stash to share!
As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Gail

Oh...I love that piece. I have a pie safe very similar...but I haven't painted it...yet!
ReplyDeleteHi Gail! You did a fantastic job transforming/updating this piece. Love It! You've inspired me to pull out the jelly cupboard in my basement gathering dust and junk so I can finally use it upstairs. I adore your home and style - I love how you mix prim in with all your updates. I'm sure this piece will go quick BUT are you really sure you want to part with it???lol

That's beautiful, that should go quickly. I used to have a reproduction of that. I gave it back to my mom's aunt. Now I wish I still had it.

ReplyDeleteThis turned out so great, Gail! I've been thinking about re-doing the one in my kitchen for quite awhile...you are inspiring me to actually do it!
ReplyDeleteWow, Gail, that is such a great cabinet. Love the paint. I'm itchin' to try some homemade chalk paint & have seen several recipes, but just haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet. The Annie Sloane stuff is so expensive!
