Hello Lovelies!
I believe you know by now that for the last few weeks I’ve been working having fun on putting together my little girl’s bedroom.
I introduce to you Miss Mimi…
{ love the shoes…huge but way cute}
Well she is the INSPIRATION behind the journey of transforming this
dark black curio cabinet into the sweetest piece of furniture I have ever worked on…
Here is a picture of the before…

{How do you like my leg’s reflection on the glass?}
The truth is that in my opinion this curio had a lot of character
but
my Mimi’s opinion was different… she thought there was just not enough …

PINK on it.
So here is what I did to fix the problem…
1st:
I “unassembled” {is that even a word?} the main parts of the curio:
doors, glass panels and hardware…all out!
doors, glass panels and hardware…all out!
2nd:
I primed the curio and after it dried {I dislike waiting} I spray painted it in a light ivory color.
3rd:
You may be wondering why I didn’t paint the entire thing…
and where is the pink?

Well I found this super cute vinyl shelf paper at Michaels…
that I used to cover the unpainted areas.

Don’t you love the colors?
So chic!
So chic!
4th:
I spray painted in silver the hinges and replaced the knobs with some
fabulous new ones that I found at Home-Goods months ago…
They are delicious!
They are delicious!
…And then before I knew it I was done!
This is how you do a makeover Mimi’s style!
I love the pink background!
Pretty amazing what a little of imagination
and a bit of paint can do!

The transformation on this cabinet is just amazing! It turned out just beautiful! It's so inspiring to see what potential pieces of furniture can have.
It is definitely the sweetest little cabinet i have ever seen. I love how soft the colors are. It is just precious. Looking at you would NEVER have imagined it black. It was definitely meant to be ivory. You did a fantastic job! That shelf paper is amazing! What an impact.
amazing is right- love it. Pretty in pink. WELL DONE FRIEND. winks-jen
