$10 Yard Sale Cabinet...Glammed Up!

This has to be one of my favorite and most dramatic transformations yet!!! This piece has a formica top which I really didn't want to mess with so I decided to work around it! The cabinet has wonderful bones but the drab yellow country finish did not show it off, so I sanded it down, painted it black and highlighted the detailing with gold leafing to really "glam" it up.

Take a look at the Before...







And now check out the After...













black painted cabinet with gold leafing

This piece fits perfectly under my $5 flea market photo of the Flat Iron building in New York City. I also found this great black and white barrel shaped lampshade ($24...a little more than I would have liked to have spent) at Lowe's which works really well with my $9 Walmart clearance lamp.

    Thanks SJ...this one took a little more skill in the way of painting on the gold leafing..but it was worth the time an effort!

    What a great job you did. Love the gold touches.

    I primed and painted a laminate top and it has held really well over the years. Hasn't come off in any area.

    Just now seeing this and oh my word, I love it! This is my kinda glam. Such a great idea to add the gold leafing...quite elegant.

    Did you use paint with primer included?
