I got this unique cabinet a while back and finished it a couple months ago for a client that loves to sew and needed a new cabinet. She decided on a fun green color and i love the way it turned out!! I really like the chunky white hardware with the green – its perfect :)
Before…
After…lightly sanded, primed, painted, distressed and then clear coated
At one point, i thought that i would have to replace the top. But the sewing machine actually fits in that little space and then half the top folds down to be level with the machine.
love all the storage!!
The 411!
color = Brassy by Sherwin Williams
clear coat = Varathane brand poly in a high gloss
round knobs = hobby lobby
door knobs = stolen from another piece of furniture :)
What do you always prime with?
normally i just use valspar primer
What a neat cabinet!!! Did all that storage come with it originally, or was that an add on?
that was already in there when i got it!!
Love it!
Love this color. Love the whole cabinet.

Wow – sewing machine cabinets gone wild – awesome color choice.
This is fabulous! I have several sewing machine cabinets but this is so unique. What a great find & what a Great paint job!
I’d like to see it after your client fills it with stuff too, just to see how she uses all the nooks and crannies.

Absolutely stunning. I love all of your before and afters and the way that you style your “after” vignettes. I can only imagine the craft room that would house such a beauty!
do you always use the same color primer as the paint you are painting it with?
This is FANTASTIC! The color is amazing!!
I love love love love this color!!! I was not a big fan of the color green but as of now my mind is changed.
Great little make-over! Really like the color!
Wowza ….. absolutely gorgeous! You are sooo talented. I could definitely learn a lot from this blog. Ha.
One wall in our dining room is the same color! A very old Marilyn Monroe huge-huge black and white photo is playfully looking at us ….. everyday! Haha.
Years and years ago, my daddy bought 4 steel chairs from a rummage shop. We all sat in those chairs. Now I need to scrape and completely refinish. Not sure how though. I have zero idea regarding paints, sealers, etc. Definitely saving them for my great niece and nephews. The chairs are perfect for children.
thanks!! i would love some steel chairs – i bet they look great!!
Such a pretty color!!!
it was a fun color, need to find something else to paint that same color :)
Well done! Love the cabinet! Hope I can find something like that for my machine :o)
Hi, Everytime I use Poly over a white-ish paint technique, it always turns yellow. Is there a certain brand you use that stays nice and clear and will not get the yellow tint over light or white colors?
Thanks,
Sandy
just make sure you are using a water based poly, it wont turn yellow, I recommend Varathane brand or Woodclassics from Sherwin Williams. If you use oil poly, it will yellow and ruin your fresh paint!!
