Here it is before paint:
And here it is finished:
I didn't fill the holes on the drawers before I painted, assuming I could just find new pulls to replace the old ones. Unfortunately, the holes were not standard distance apart, so replacing them was proving difficult. I really didn't want to go back and fill the holes and redo the drawers. I was done with the cabinet at that point - on to other things!
So instead, I primed the old pulls and painted them the same color as the cabinet. I was hesitant, but I'm really happy with how they turned out. For two reasons:
#1 - They blend into the cabinet. I had been thinking silver or chrome handles, but it may have looked a little busy.
And # 2- It saved me money!
Here is one more with the wallpaper in the room.
I'm so glad to have it finished. One more thing off the to-do list!
It looks great. What a wonderful piece of furniture!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool piece! Did you just scrape the paint off the glass?? or did you remove/cover it before painting?
