I’m on my way to New York to visit my sister and will bring back a ton of pics to share of the Brooklyn Carriage House! Today I’m sharing a previous makeover of a boring cabinet that turned into a beauty. I loved the paint color combo on this piece. Have a great weekend!
The Greige Farmhouse Cabinet is done!
Remember the before?
Here is the after!
I used Sherwin Williams “Perfect Greige” and mixed it with the Vintage Storehouse Restoration Company chalky powder to create a chalk paint. It adhered nicely. I used 220 to 400 grit to distress and sand it back to smoothness and Annie Sloan clear wax as a sealer.
The window panes add even more character to this very vintage piece.
I placed pretty paper onto the shelves and the inside of the drawer to add a pop of color. The removable paper ties in with the pop of persimmon that was painted inside the bottom cabinet.
Replacing the hardware was not easy. It took a trip to the Woodworkers Club to remove a stubborn screw from a door and a lot of wood filler before sanding them to smoothness. New holes were drilled for the new pulls and I’m really happy I went to the trouble!
The new ceramic pulls give just the right touch.
It’s done! 
The Greige Farmhouse Cabinet with a Pop of Persimmon!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!
What great timing! I have a cabinet that looks just like yours but its a corner unit. I’ve been throwing out paint ideas but my husband was skeptical. Then I showed him your picture and he is all for painting it now. Hopefully he’ll still feel that way next spring lol(we live in Michigan so I have to wait?).
Beautiful!!! Love seeing how you can transform some of the old unattractive pieces into a new statement piece of furniture. Thanks for sharing.
