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!
I absolutely love it Kate! What a brilliant make-over. I have a corner in my dining room where it would look perfect!!!! Happy weekend to you too. xxx
ReplyDeleteThis makeover turned out absolutely beautiful. The layered turquoise shades and distressed beachy finish give the cupboard so much character. I love how the original colors still peek through after sanding — such a creative touch! DIY decor projects like this always inspire me to hunt for craft and home deals through Ritecoupons too.
