Megan from Lubbly Jubbly Furniture saw the potential in a boring old cabinet and gave it a fresh new look with a coat of paint in the color, Simplicity, and some hairpin legs. Come see the amazing difference it made!

This is what we all do to get that perfect piece that we have a vision for; we go on adventures.  This cabinet needed a serious clean up, but for the most part there no damage. It just some reconfiguration so I could add the hairpin legs.

Once I got it home I gave it a good sanding and then cleaned it with vinegar and lemon. This cabinet definitely needed priming. I was just so sure there would be bleed through, but it worked out well with two coats of white primer. Make sure to leave about 4 hours in between primer coats, and then another 4 hours before you apply your first coat of paint.

I used my paint sprayer to apply 2-3 coats of the color, Simplicity over the entire piece. I then sprayed on Country Chic Paint’s Tough Coat which I chose because I knew this piece would get lots of use, and it needed something strong to protect the finish.

To add the legs, I first cut off the bottom trim to create a flat surface on which to attach the legs. Once that was done, the legs went on easily. I could have replaced the hardware, but instead I chose to keep the original handles paint them with Simplicity and Tough Coat to match the rest of the piece.

Thank you everyone for reading!
