Painting: What paint to use on unfinished pine cabinet for rustic look?

I bought a pre-loved glass & pine china cabinet with a drawer base that had never had a finish and is paint ready, doesn't even need sanding. I want to do a somewhat rustic look in a cream color. I was thinking of a milk or chalk paint so it doesn't end up with a plastic look from todays acrylic latex paints. Can't find online from Home Depot or Michaels. (Anyone know of a store near Spokane, WA?)Where do I find these paints and how to use them? Thanks!

  • I took a silver plated platter from Goodwill and drilled holes through it, so that the bottles would hang at the varying heights that I like...and then attached chain on the top sides.

  • To access the socket...and place a bulb I cut the bottoms of these decanters off with my wet saw.  I'd love to say that there is an easier way to do that...but trust me...I've tried all those tutorials online...and there's just not! 7

  • A simple solution that makes life easier!  Plus it makes my toaster look cute, if that is even possible!
  • I measured my toaster and cut bottom piece about 1/2 inch bigger on all sides. Then I cut 1x2's for side pieces.
  • After sanding, I glued and nailed the whole thing together.

  • I recently gave my boys' bedroom a makeover, and this included custom made headboards.
  • I used PureBond plywood for these headboards. After designing a template for the shape, I used a jig saw to cut it out. I stained it and added nailhead trim as a decorative accent.
  • I made a twin size headboard for my oldest son, and a mini toddler bed version for my youngest.
