Refashioned Wine Cabinet

Another great day for garage sales last Saturday. You may think that when it's raining you won't have any luck with garage sales.  The good thing about a rainy day is that people have already committed to have a yard sale and they just want to get rid of everything that they can. You can usually get a few screamin deals because of the weather.  Take for instance this wine cabinet. I asked them how much they'd sell it for and they asked me what I would pay for it. I told them I really didn't know and so she offers up $5.  Well, YES!! That's sounds like the right price. With a little sanding and green paint it can turn into a nice little accent piece for a girls room.  I used Mod Podge to glue a piece of craft paper that I also found at a yard sale for $.10 to the drawer and added a cutesy pink knob.

I then sanded down the whole thing. *TIP* If you are sanding down a piece of furniture that just has a pretty light finish on it you just have to sand it down enough for the paint to adhere. You really don't need to get every little bit of finish off. 

  I painted a few coats of this awesome green paint that I found at Lowes in their 'oops' paint area for $8.  I sanded down the edges and a few random places to distress and age it a little.

  I topped it off with a clear varnish.
