Lagree Wyndham on Aug 03, 2015From pic wood looks to be in good shape, sand, stain, seal rest hinges or new hinges to get latch to match up again and get a piece of glass cut to replace missing piece, Or you could paint however I would use that as my last option. JMOHelpful Reply

Vicki lynn on Aug 03, 2015I think I would paint it white and distress it and either get another piece of glass for the one missing or remove some others or all and replace with chicken wire. the door can be removed and adjusted to fit proper.the legs can be cut off and maybe put casters on it or different feet... post pics when your done with the make over plz.Helpful Reply

Cornelia Schott on Aug 03, 2015I like the idea other people have posted here. I agree with sanding the wood and staining. When it comes to staining, I like using General Finishes gel stain. Plus, new stained legs would finish the look along with a new piece of glass.Helpful Reply

Mandy Willson Telford on Aug 04, 2015I would cut off the legs, sand it, replace glass then mask off all the panes and paint the outside in white, cream or a pale gray, distress it, or not, depending on your preference and then paint the inside in a stronger colour ( no misspelling of colour I am British and that is how we spell it) You could also light it up by either wiring it for lights or using battery LEDs that stick on. I would then hang it on the wall . If you don't want to hang it leave the legs on.Helpful Reply

Michelle Frederick on Aug 04, 2015What a beautiful treasure :). Great for displaying family heirlooms and trinkets. It can easily be refinished to restore its beauty. Replacing the missing glass will just take some research on your part to find a glass maker that specializes in restorations to give you an exact or so close it can fool anyone match. You could even take the door to them so they can put the glass in for you if you are unsure of doing it yourself. I see Nicole Curtis do it all the time in her restoration projects on Rehab Addict on HGTV/DIYNetwork. Good luck :)Helpful Reply
