Blue and Silver Painted Liquor Wine Cabinet Diy

I really wanted a cabinet big enough to hold liquor, a few bottles of wine and maybe even some glassware.
TIP! My wall was perfect as it's south, meaning no direct sunlight or heat on the contents of the cabinet.

Blue and Silver liquor and wine cabinet

A 2nd hand alder pantry all sticky with craft glue, kids stickers, the smell of spices, but it had potential to be 'un-country'ed'! I kept seeing blue, went to the store to buy green, came home with blue.

There were a number of things I had to consider in this journey.

Size and Use

Wall Space

Colour! of course

Other items in the room...you don't want to end up redecorating, you want a new piece to become family with what's already in the room that you love!

The cabinet was fully taken apart and cleaned, glass and hardware removed, then fully primed and sanded followed by 2 coats of the blue and 'coffee' (black) latex semi gloss paint. The silver (rustoleum) was lightly brushed with the blue and also used for the stencilled swirls on the sides and bottom drawer.

TIP! Those glass panels were tricky to get back in so here's a hint...rub the runners with bar soap!

TIP!New Hardware, don't skimp on looks. The hardware may cost a bit more but you want it to look 'in place' with your piece.

So the Big Blue Cabinet doesn't look so out of place in this conventional room after all!

TIP! I had to find something verticle to break up the horizontal feel of the existing furniture. The height of the cabinet also helps break up the room and keep it from becoming a bowling alley!
