Antique Gun Cabinet Makeover

Katie Surly
by Katie Surly
We were given this antique gun cabinet FOR FREE. Taylor’s uncle’s neighbor wanted to get rid of it. Seriously? Taylor was totally psyched I saw potential in a piece that would let him showcase his hunting guns…in our bedroom nonetheless! I loved everything about the character of the cabinet, but it needed some brightening up.
Some CeCe Caldwell chalk paint in Simply White did the trick. (This is the same paint I used on our cabinets here and a coffee table here.) It really only needed one coat because I wanted it to keep the rustic feel. The hardware didn’t even stand out to me until I painted the cabinet white. What a difference that made. That funky hardware pops now! I love it.
