The cupboard before and after:
First, I mixed my own custom colors with old white paint and some turquoise paint from the ReStore. I used mason jars to store my newly created colors of paint and they worked perfectly!
Then, begin painting. We started with a base color, and then painted over it with a new color.
Then, we went back over with a third tint of turquoise and painted only every other board.
Once all three shades were on the door, we (hubby) sanded it to give it a worn "beachy" look.
The back boards were sanded as well.
Next, the appliques.
Started with a fresh white coat.
I watered down my darker color of turquoise and slathered it on.
I immediately blotted it with a dry cloth to remove most of the color, leaving a nice tint.
All dry!
And there you have it! Our beach cottage corner cupboard!

The door is my favorite part. I LOVE how you can see all the colors, even down to the original white!
Happy Weekend!
