Cabinet Re-Do

Thanksgiving is one time of year when it's important to

 reflect on those things we are thankful for.

For me,  Family and Friends are two things

 that are true blessings in my life. 

 I have some wonderful friends in my life. 

 Friends who are selfless and always willing to help.

My friend Sharon truly gifted me with sharing her talents a few weeks ago.  Sharon is a wonderful decorative painter. 

 Take a look at her work HERE.

Here's how she blessed me...

I have never been happy

 with these white cabinets in my great room. 

 The color (or lack of) just didn't blend with the decor of the room.

Here's a view of the room....

The coffee table is a distressed black

with a very sheer gold rubbed on the edges.

So BINGO!

I had an idea. 

 Why not paint the cabinet black. 

I painted a spare drawer front, just to see what it would look like. 

I liked it.

I spoke with Sharon, getting her professional opinion. 

 She didn't think twice and volunteered her talents

to help do it completely by herself.

Boy was I excited. 

I couldn't remove the cabinet doors

 and tape off everything fast enough.

Here's Sharon hard at work. 

 She worked and I just talked non stop.

We decided to keep the inside of the cabinet white.  

The black would have been to dark inside.

Here's the beginning stages. 

 I think all the liquor in the cabinet was left over from our wedding 22 years ago!

 Ready for the transformation?

I just love it!

I added some knobs that are an oil rubbed bronze color.

I got a pieced of decorative molding to use as a baseboard. 

I was worried about getting black paint on the carpet. 

So Sharon painted the molding first

then we put it in place along the bottom of the cabinet. 

I thought this would dress up the cabinet. 

Here's a view from a different angle of the room. 

 Doesn't the cabinet look nice with the coffee table?

This was the perfect look for the room.

Every time I look at the cabinet I will think of my friend

who blessed me with the gift of her time and talents.

Wishing each of you a very blessed Thanksgiving.
