"T" is for TLC

This would be my first real furniture makeover - head to toe. After seeing lots of inspiration out there in blogland I decided to tackle this poor, neglected cabinet. She was in need of some serious TLC. We inherited this cabinet with our house and I never thought twice about it until I started rearranging furniture for the kitchen redo. She was in bad shape but solid as an ox. Just look at all the cracked paint, the door hanging off, holes in the top.

Here are the befores:







And now after 2 coats of Kilz and 3 coats of white satin her she is:









I lined the drawers with blue and white ticking leftover from another project and spray painted the pulls with ORB as well as new hinges:





I also added feet to give her a lift:



I love it but let's hope 30 tiny fingers in this house can keep it clean!
