Faux Card Catalogue/Apothecary Cabinet
by
MacGIRLver
In the early '80's my husband took the insides out of an old TV. He added a shelf and made doors that he covered in mac tac.
We haven't used it for many years, but never seem to throw anything away.
I painted the inside black, and the outside red, I then antiqued it with ebony stain.
I cut little rectangles of wood and painted and antiqued each one, and nailed them on.
It was a bit of a pain getting them all lined up.
I nailed on the hardware to make it look like a card catalgoue.
I added magnetic hardware so that you can push on the doors and they will pop open.
I love the results, hope you do too!
