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!

  • A traditional color marriage between black, white, and gold.
  • The beautiful original drawer pulls were spray painted gold but I didn't cover them completely with the new color so that they looked antiqued.
  • The top was sanded and stained with one coat dark walnut stain then sealed with Varathane Satin Polyurethane.
  • Here's what the pair looked like before the sanding and painting began.

Recycled Garage Door

My husband and I replaced our old solid wood garage door and I knew the sections were at risk of heading off to the dump in my husband's truck if i didn't come up for a use for them! I ...»
wanted more outdoor seating so I decided to create a large outdoor bench using two of the better sections. I used the one section for the top and then divided the other section in thirds and used them as the "legs". I then scraped the loose paint and used a heat gun to remove some more. I wanted some of the paint to stay since it really made it look weathered. I gave it a good sanding and then added some wax to help it hold up just for this summer. I am trying to find some marine polyurethane so I can really seal it well. I added some pillows which just makes it really comfortable and we use it all the time!

  • This little ottoman started life as an end table!
  • I found her barely standing at the thrift store for $2.99! I love to repurpose furniture don't you?
  • The Husband added a few screws to make the table more sturdy, then I cut 2" foam to fit the top of the table & glued it on...
  • I painted the legs and sides of the table my favorite color blue and distressed it just a little using sand paper ...Four layers of quilt batting insured a cushy feel! I used an electric stapler which was a necessity for this project!
  • I chose a gray-blue piece of heavy fabric for the cover and stapled like a nut! (If you are a professional I'll go ahead and apologize!)
  • Leftover fabric from some curtains and some trim I got who knows where were perfect for a ruffle to hide the 7 million staples! (I stapled the ruffle on, then using a giant needle, sewed the trim)
  • She's a sweet little ottoman!
(We've since moved and now she lives in the Master Bathroom where she's a comfy little stool!)

DIY Ottoman from an old End Table!

I love taking an old piece of furniture and giving it a second life! This $2.99 end table from a Thrift Store was perfect for turning into a cute ottoman! I did it for under $25.00 and it was actually pretty easy!

Cleaning & Organization: Getting smoke smell off artificial leather

I picked up a 'leather' looking chair someone had put out next to the road. It was beautiful burgundy on rollers. I stopped and loaded it in the back of my truck on my way to work. Didn't ...»
notice the smell till I unloaded it much later at home. I have tried window cleaner, orange oil cleaner, Pine Sol, leather cleaner, dish soap and have stopped short of bleach. NOTHING is working! I have the chair out on my covered porch and when it is really humid or rainy the smell about gags me. REALLY hate to pitch it, there just has to be something else I haven't tried yet. Any suggestions???
