Today I'm sharing another thrift store makeover. I found this old jewelry cabinet at Goodwill a few months ago. It was in good condition but I didn't really like the color of the wood.
You can see more of my jewelry cabinet makeovers on the blog.
Here's what it looked like before I painted it.

All I did for prep was to dust it off. I used a chalk/mineral type paint that is super easy. I love using these paints. Probably because I'm lazy. I don't like sanding.

So, once it's clean I took out the drawers and the glass in the door and gave it two coats of paint. Another reason I love this specific brand of paint is that it has a great finish without sealing with wax, varnish, or polycrylic.

Another time saving tip for lazy DIY'ers like me!

Here's what the inside looks like. Luckily, the felt inside was clean. I didn't do anything but dust it off.

You can also see how I put in the hardware cloth in the door.

I also tried Rub 'n Buff for the first time on the hardware of this jewelry cabinet. Loved it! So easy. It made a subtle, but nice, difference.
