From Antique Storage Cabinet to Modern Rolling Bar!
Would you like to see how we worked on this cheap thrifty office cabinet? Have a look…
I found the cabinet at a thrift store. It didn’t look attractive, but had an interesting sliding door, so I decided to make something out of it.
1.First step: sanding, and then we’ll see…
2.After I sanded the whole piece, beautiful wood colour came up. It suggested something like a wine barrel, so I thought of painting a wine label on the door. Got the image from the web.
3.Tansferred the drawing and hand painted
Cabinet ready! However it was too low to be a rolling bar. I will have to find the way to make it higher.
4.I wanted to give it an industrial look. There is always a way to make faux metal… I cut hardboard pieces, painted black and used graphite as patina to make it look like metal
Screwed pieces to cabinet in all its edges.
5.Now, it is time to make it higher. I will use this mattress base
6.Made this base for my cabinet. Added wheels. Painted black with graphite patina.
7.There it is! Ready to store dozens of bottles at the bottom…
