We recently picked up this old radio cabinet. After taking the old radio parts out, putting some Annie Sloan Chalk paint to it, and adding a cute basket, we ended up with a sweet little cabinet. Meet Louis. We chose to paint him in Louis Blue, and add dark wax to the finish. He turned out so cute! Take a look.
Wouldn't this look great in a bath room, or as a tv cabinet? How about a nice cheerful kitchen island?
We gave him a light tatter, and just a tad of dark wax.
I was a little hesitant in using the light blue color on a piece of furniture such as this, but I just love the results! I never tire of recycleing old, uninteresting, abandoned furniture into newly loved ones.
Have a great weekend everyone! I hope you can make it out this weekend or next. The shop is bursting with treasures!
