Creative Commotion: Cabinet Redo

Does anyone remember what a VCR looks like? I do...in fact I still have one and use it quite often. I was feeling a little modern when I bought the VCR/DVD combo player! LOL! Now your suppose to have blue ray and HD high definition...or so I am told. The tv I have my VCR hooked up to is a million years old so none of the new technology would work anyways so I okay with what I have....but that's not what I am here to show you.

Before Christmas I stopped at the Restore and found this.....

I know cheap looking - ugly fake wood...but don't turn your nose up...there is potential!

Good storage space....

I know nothing super fancy....but it was $1.00....yes one dollar!

So I was thinking if I could use it for something else....craft supplies...basement storage???????

But then I thought I could paint it...change out the hardware and maybe even try a stencil ( I was feeling brave!)

So I put a coat of primer on it. I then painted it using Almond Oil - one of the colors I used in the dining/piano room and added a stencil using White Picket Fence....sounds like a nice, homey color right?! (It's the other color I used in our dining/piano room.)
