Antique Gun Cabinet Makeover
by

(IC: blogger)
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.
