Danielle on Sep 02, 2015Is this a metal cabinet? It looks like it, but you didn't specify. If it is just sand the rust off with fine grit sandpaper, clean it really really well then either chalk paint (since this is the fashion right now) or spray paint. Krylon and Rustoleum both have some fab colors and finishes. Chose something that contrasts your other cabinets if you want it to stand out or a similar color to your other cabinets if you want it to blend. I think it's unique enough to merit doing something really bright and eye popping, but I know some people just don't like that look.Helpful Reply

Z on Sep 03, 2015What an awesome cabinet @Sonya! I'd clean it up, either sand or use a liquid sand paper on it, use a good quality stain blocking primer, not sure you have the brand Kilz down under, and then paint it all a pretty complementary color to your kitchen decor. Well, all but the tall cabinet door on the left. I'd paint that with chalk board paint for writing grocery lists and family notes on. You could also get a piece of butcher block cut for the counter to dress it up a bit more if you need one. Please do remember to take lots of pictures and share the finished project however you wind up redoing it. I'd love to see it.Helpful Reply

Minoguana on Sep 03, 2015Te recomiendo lijardo todo, desgastanto la madera, no hace falta llegar a la veta, simplemente desgastar la pintura que tiene. Con un barniz satinado, pintarlo tal que esta. Las puertas, con una sierra de calar, cortaria el interior, dejandola como un marco de foto, y el hueco la rellenaria con tela metalica, como de gallinero. Compraria unas patas, para ponerselo y elevar el mueble.Helpful Reply

Dee Lowe on Sep 10, 2015What a awesome cabinet. I would finish stripping it down, paint whatever color to match your kitchen decor. I would leave the door off the tall side and use baskets. Oh please come back & show us what you have decided.Helpful Reply

Ida Dahlberg on Sep 10, 2015So many wonderful ideas. I personally like the chalk board paint for the long door. My daughter has a top half wall done in chalkboard and it works great for her because she has four children however since I live alone I don't feel id benefit from it so I personally would go for the basket idea.Helpful Reply

Linda Dorn on Sep 14, 2015Hi, You could paint it with chalk paint and use CC Coldwell brush on endurance instead of the wax on top of the chalk paint. I would replace the long door with chicken wire and put a light inside to show off your kitchen treasures. Put a stencil on the sliding glass doors and spray it with frosted spray paint. I transformed a couple of tv entertainment centers that way.Cute kitchen cabinet, have fun.Helpful Reply

Nancy on Jul 19, 2016This is often referred to as a kitchen larder cupboard. Most likely, it is from the 1950s. Check eBay and Pinterest for painting ideas. Many often have all the doors painted one color and the entire base cabinet painted white.Helpful Reply
