Come see how I turned this old sauder cupboard into a vintage looking Pantry
$20.00
Easy
I found this old sauder cupboard for a steal, and just loved the design of it. I knew it would look perfect painted up and made to look vintage.
Using CeCe Caldwells all natural paint it made it soooo easy to give something that most people would have thrown in the trash a new look.
I lightly sanded the sauder as to not pull off the fake wood grain. Then using the clay based paint I gave it a couple coats of Omaha Ochre and on the inside to give it a pop of color I used Sante Fe Turquoise.
Then to give it that little bit of UMPH I used my silhouette to make a simple "pantry" stencil for the front.
From Trash to vintage looking Treasure.
Come on over and check out the full reveal.

Here it is. All finished and looking Vintage. Could you even ever guess that this is a sauder piece...???
I am here to show you to STOP passing up those junky sauder pieces that will be thrown out. They can be saved and turned into great looking pieces in your home.

J that was my question too. But think you are right.. This turns out beautiful. Did you use the same door or added a different one.. Would have like to seen the before and would have given me a better clue.. It is great piece!
