Beadboard Cabinet Redo





I found this skinny cabinet at a garage sale a few weeks ago.  I was looking for something for my son's college apartment. It was the right size, but the more I thought of it, it was not the right piece for a college guy.   I decided to get him something else and would keep this for myself.



I wasn't thrilled with the color, but loved the cabinet itself.  





I like the patina of the wood shelves inside, so decided to leave them.



Easy enough to change what I didn't like....
I painted several coats of white on it 


I then distressed it with sanding blocks and an electric sander.





I added old blue canning jars and the old can of seed packets on the top.





I'm not sure where I'm going to put it long-term, but here it is in the entry for now.








Thanks for your visit!

Weight! Another Neat Scale Redo!






I found this old, dirty Dayton scale at a garage sale this summer. 








My husband started by taking everything apart. He said it was very complicated and he wasn't sure if he'd ever get it back together. (But I knew he would!)


 
 
 
 
 
He got rid of all of the paint.

 
 
 
 
 And did lots of polishing...
 

He painted it green.
 
 



We found water decals on eBay.
 






 There were LOTS of parts that had to be put back together....





He spent hours reassembling it.




I think he did another beautiful job!!




Thanks for your visit!
