PAINT!!!
Fast, affordable and the transformations are always impressive! Take for example this little before and after…
I’ve been holding onto this little spice cabinet for three years! I bought it at a Garage Sale for a whopping $1! If you can look past the scary crackle finish and dried minced onions in the window you too can see the potential I fell in love with!
Now look at her all pretty and ready for the Ball! This Cinderella Blue really makes all the difference now doesn’t it!!
I used Krylon H2O in Blue Danube River! And don’t hate but I picked it up at HONKS Dollar store! Horrible name for a store I know! I about fell over when I saw an entire end cap filled with Spray Paint! JACK POT!!! Worked like a charm!
One coat and a little sanding later to expose a little of the yellow and she was already lookin’ like a post op plastic surgery success story!
Now onto the window dressing! I cut small squares of scrapbook paper and dressed them up with numbers! A little hot glue later and we have a WINNER!!!!
I love how the crackle texture can still be scene! I love everything about her actually!
Hip hip hooray for Garage Sales!!!
Hip hip hooray for $1 Spray Paint!!!
Hip hip hooray for pretty Blue Makeovers!
I love it! I want to know what you plan on using it for? Spices still? or something totally different?
that is so. dang. great. i love it!
Do tell what it is being used for! I am so curious what the numbers are for. Thanks for sharing!
It is looking cute!! ♥♥ spray paint lol
Oh, I love this, and good for you to see the awesome potential! The blue is fantastic, and the numbers are perfect. I have something similar (no dried onions though…haha), and now it is calling out for a face lift too! Thanks for the inspiration!
Soooooo cute!
TERRIFIC!!!!!!! SWEET!!!!!!!
Love it! So Cute!!
I love the redo! It amazes me the potential you can see in things! I would have seen that yucky mustard crackle paint and passed that right by! pretty color! spray paint is my fav, I've never actually tried using real paint to pain anything, maybe I'll try one day! Honks was my favorite $ store in utah! I miss it dearly!
I had a dream last night that I was soliciting your blog and b-day hats to some random people at a Target check out!
LOVE it! Spray paint is the best!
That is adorable. You are so creative.
What a great find. I love how a bit of the yellow still comes through.
I wanted to let you know that I featured your tulle corsage t-shirt on my blog. I'd love to try something similar (I'm still learning how to use my sewing machine).
Oh she's so dang cute, would look great in my office.
This makes me really excited for spring so I can go hit some yard sales. Great job!
Love this color and everything! SO brilliant!

That looks terrific! The numbers really add that element of "wow"..great makeover!
Happy finds all around – the cabinet the paint – everything – turned out beautiful.
You need to stop with crafty projects that even non-crafters can do! I had an excuse not to craft before and you're slowly chipping away at it! Love this one!
oh, I love it! I cannot wait until spring garage sales. I want to paint something now. You made it seem easy. (Probably won't be for me, but I will try.) Thanks for posting.
I love it!
What do you plan to use it for?
so, so cute! I'll just start paying you to make me stuff :] But yeah, I want to know what it is being used for too?
Love the remake..Amazing how you saw blue in those crackles in the first place!
Ive been on a blue craze lately. didn't even notice until I started organizing my fabric and the blue pile was HUGE! Love the "spice rack"
I love it! Is that a pencil cactus next to it??
Right now I have tiny barters and clip making supplies organized in each drawer! I'm using it for a decoration more so then anything! It's just so freakin' cute I had to have it on display in my living area rather then in my craft room!
Cute!
Oh that is so cute!!
Just discovered your blog and love your style. Can't wait to see some more!

What a great little project! I'm with you…garage sales are the best..and of course turning someone's 'junk' into a treasure is always fun.

Call me crazy, but did we not share an apartment complex in Rexburg, Id? Carousel court?
that is just great Becca i think you should use it as a sewing accessory kit ,you know beads ,needles,cutters etc.
I can't believe you only paid $1 for this cabinet–so cute!
I LOVE it! The blue is so awesome!
YOu did a great job! It looks gorgeous!
I Love it!! Love love it. You are amazing Becca
Oh, this turned out great! Love that you numbered the drawers.
So very nice! I have a piece of furniture I need to refinish! You've inspired me!
This is so great! I've linked to it in an upcoming post – it inspired me!

It would be a great project to link up to my Spring has Sprung Party this Friday. Did I mention there is a giveaway too?

I love how that turned out! If the design of something appeals enough, we can see past the paint job, can't we?
