I could non live to a greater extent than excited for this month's Monthly DIY Challenge and HomeRight giveaway!
We were fortunate to function amongst HomeRight and their awesome spray shelters to update a thrifted or previously owned item amongst paint. I knew precisely what I was going to do as well as couldn't hold off to restore my vintage metallic hardware cabinet. I used the large spray shelter, merely they also carry tabletop shelters that are perfect for smaller projects.
You may recollect that I purchased this cabinet from Luckett's Spring Market back inwards May. It was big, greenish as well as total of rust.
I flora it interesting to notice out that Hobart Cabinet Company is over 110 years old! The identify unit of measurement owned companionship was founded inwards 1906 as well as stayed inwards line of piece of occupation concern until it filed for bankruptcy inwards 2010. I was able to interrogation this detail cabinet, which dates dorsum to the 1930's.
As bad every bit it looked, I knew it had potential as well as couldn't resist it's vintage feel. I loved the persuasion of using the 24 drawers for portable arts and crafts as well as toy storage inwards our basement. It makes it thence much easier for the kids to live able to clit out a drawer, dump out their toys (cars, trucks, fine art supplies, Shopkins, etc.) as well as bring a identify to shop them away.
I won't bore y'all amongst cleaning pictures, merely I did scrub every foursquare inch of the cabinet as well as drawers amongst an inexpensive grid scrubber and a paste of baking pulverisation as well as water. After the cabinet was build clean as well as dry out I fix my HomeRight Spray Shelter inwards the garage.
I bring to admit, I'm likewise impatient to read directions thence I volunteered my hubby to assistance me fix the large tent. He was thrilled.
It wasn't fifty-fifty 10 minutes afterwards moving the cabinet into the tent that this happened....
Full on torrential downpour that came out of nowhere! I thanked my lucky stars that I had the tent inwards the garage as well as was able to complete the cabinet piece staying dry out inside. I dear that the tent has a mesh forepart flap that Velcro's closed. Have y'all e'er spray painted exterior to bring your projection ruined amongst gnats as well as dust landing inwards your paint? Yeah, non good.
Picking the pigment color was no slow task. I took no less than iii trips to Home Depot as well as tested out multiple pigment colors earlier deciding on nighttime gray. I know, I'm shocked too. I sprayed every foursquare inch of the cabinet as well as drawers amongst 4 cans of Rust-oleum nighttime grayness semi-gloss paint. I taped off the manufacturers plate amongst frog record inwards an endeavour to cash inwards one's chips along the authenticity of the cabinet.
I'm loving how it turned out as well as of course of teaching couldn't resist decorating amongst a few touches of forest as well as wicker. (mirror purchased from Hobby Lobby amongst 40% off coupon)
