Sister Kim came to visit this weekend.  After seeing cans of paint, brushes, stencils, stain and other painting paraphernalia, she decided she had to find an accessible place for me to store paint.  She shopped around a bit in the garage and set her eyes on this ugly Goodwill find I picked up for  $12.50.

I love to paint in my garage but store my paint in the basement.  Needless to say when I paint, cans rarely make their way back down there.  Kim decided we had to keep them somewhere that I would actually put them away.  So we painted this ugly little girl up to match my kitchen décor.  God knows I spend enough time in that room.

We painted the cabinet using The Real Milk Paint Co’s Yellow Rose and Maison Blanche Magnolia.

After painting I applied Dark wax and distressed.  My favorite sister then applied a coat of Shabby Paints Vax (We LOVE this stuff).  No buffing required.  Kim then ran through the house collecting various paint supplies strewn all about and began filling this little cabinet up.
