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!

Repurposing & Upcycling: Wooden Crate Delimma

military shipping piece. Medical stuff. It measures 30" x 17 x 15. I thought maybe a table, but I'm not feeling any good ideas yet. Maybe you all could let me know if you have ever done one like or have seen one finished up. Took pics.

    industrial metal wheels like Sia@South 47th mentioned. Make a padded lid with some of your favorite burlap would give it a triple use, table, storage, and a seat. Win win win! Great bones :)

  • 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.
  • Here's what the pair looked like before the sanding and painting began.

  • A vanity without a mirror =(
  • Ta-Da!  Black gloss paint hides all the damage to the body, and clear gloss on the bird's eye maple really makes it pop!
  • Not only is the mirror missing, it's pretty beat-up.   I knew paint would be my best friend here.
  • I glued and clamped the veneer in several places; removed it in others that were too damaged to re-glue.
  • I just wasn't happy with the 3 coats of clear satin polyurethane--pic on R--so I gave it 1  coat of clear gloss.  Wow.  Just.........Wow.

From Workroom Storage to Center of Attention

I was told this was a waterfall vanity--but it's missing the mirror. To be honest, I really didn't like it, but I thought I might use it for storage in my work room. Plus, the price was reasonable.
