You could create a beach inside to look at through the glass with seashells and small driftwood, etc. It can also be turned into a padded storage bench for inside or outside storage just making sure to weather/water proof the wood and use outdoor materials for the padded seat.

  • 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.

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!
