Welcome to my second Furniture Feature Friday! Remember I’ll have my very first linky party next week, so get your posts ready!
For this week I found a wonderful makeover to inspire you. We all have seen those gargantuan 1970′s china cabinets in thrift stores and on Craig’s List for next to nothing. I am pretty brave with the furniture I buy to redo, but I’ve never had the guts to take on one of those. They are huge, heavy, often times have weird hardware and dated details. I now see that I was a fool.
Do you see what I mean? The Enchantresses Three saw the potential in this old china cabinet that was purchased off Craig’s List for a song and, boy, did that vision pay off! This is what it looked like before…
Yikes…That molding is really something else. I know I would’ve walking by without a second look if I saw this in a Goodwill.
It’s so big it takes two pictures to show you what it looked like before! The top actually has a great shape, but I would have been deterred by the bottom half. They used a spray gun (smart girls) and painted it in a crisp white – hardware and all! Doesn’t it look gorgeous?
The top piece is lovely and the slight distressing really brings out the curves and details.
And even that dated hardware and chunky trim looks classic and even a little edgy with a coat of white paint.
And the display inside? Oh, ladies…well done. Lots of arranging ideas and inspiration, here.
Thank you so much to all of my followers, new and old. It’s been so exciting to watch my numbers grow and to read all of your encouraging comments. I really do value each and every one!

Isn't that redo incredible?! Who would have thought? (Obviously Enchantress 3) Thanks for sharing.
This turned out absolutely beautiful! Now I'm wondering how my built-in china cabinet would look painted white. Thanks for the inspiration!
I not only like how the china cupboard turned out painted white, but I like like how you put black and white items in it.
Thanks so much for the feature!!! It makes me feel good that you love my china cabinet so much, because I am in love with everything you do! You have such amazing vision and style!
Hugs,
Sariah
I'm sorry did you hear that? It's me SCREAMING over here! That was a FANTASTIC transformation! the white china cabinet is SWOON worthy!
What a great transformation! I think I would have also walked by this piece (my Mom would not). It is so great to see how people take a step into changing a piece.
Still trying to find a feed sack so I can attack this footstool over here.
Amazing! What a transformation.
Your numbers did take off! Good ~ you deserve having all these wonderful people {myself included} getting inspired by your talent. I saw that china cabinet redo yesterday and couldn't get over it. It looks fantastic and the detail on the piece itself ~ well, I love that type of thing.
Great giveaway item ~ I could use a tray!
Now that is a FABULOUS makeover!!!!
I too would have walked by that piece.
Thanks for your comment on my blog….I've also become your follower.
It's truly amazing what some white paint can do, isn't it ?
That went from being so ugly to SO SO SO pretty. WOW, great job!
I love how white paint can bring out all the details and beauty of an ugly duckling piece of wood furniture, love the makeover. Sandra
That is one pretty make-over!
Thanks for the Etsy encouragement.
Rhonda
Wow! What a great piece. The white really brings out of its beautiful character.
Chelsea
Wow…love that big hunk of white furniture! The white is the perfect color to balance the heaviness of the piece…really love it! Thanks for sharing.
Jane @ Finding Fabulous
Wow! Great piece, and your right I would have passed it by at Goodwill as well. Your blog party sounds fun! Cindy
I agree wholeheartedly with your comments…and am now feeling really brave. I'm heading to Goodwill today. Maybe I'll have something great for your first linky party! Excited about that. : )
Amazing before and after!!
Amazing transformation! I just purchases a spray gun & can't wait to use it
Hi there! I just recently found your blog thru Kathy's Creative Home Expressions.
Just love your blog and the before and afters. Fabulous!
It is amazing to me that some people see potential when I'm completely blind to it. That piece would have looked hopelessly dated to me. Thanks for sharing!
You're right! I've seen these monsters on craigslist. Seeing this pretty transformation makes you think…
