Vintage Mid Century Modern Record Player Makeover
I am insanely in love with this Vintage Mid Century Modern Record Player Makeover that I am so excited and proud to share with you today! I was at Goodwill in early January, and I saw this MCM record player sitting there looking very forlorn. The price on it was $25, and it had seen better days. But I knew with a little love, and some paint, I could make it look like a brand new piece. And it was in very sturdy condition.
I used Behr Marquee paint in the color cameo white. I sanded it down to the raw wood before painting, and then I just freshened up the stained wood.
See the two white stripes down the front of the cabinet? I debated back and forth for quite sometime about whether to paint these or not, but without them painted, something just looked off about it. I knew I wasn’t going to be happy unless I painted them, so I went for it. And it made all the difference! As soon as I painted them I knew I was going to love the end result!
I also debated whether I should paint the legs or leave them. But I decided to paint them too, because they were going to be sitting on this hard wood floor and I figured the white legs would make it pop. I think it was the right call, what do you think?
