fairfarmhand Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 On one of the photo posts I shared a pic of this metal cabinet and asked for suggestions as to what I should paint it. this week I started the process . Oldest sanded it for me yesterday and I primed and painted the outside today. Inside will be white with some sort of red and white patterned shelf liner on the shelves. Outside handles will be copper. One more coat of blue tomorrow. And then I’ll be scraping the old icky contact paper off the shelves. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to store my canned goods in his manly gray garage. ? I was thinking of the 1950s/60s when I chose the color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebbyribs Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I like it! I painted the cabinets in our gray basement laundry room that same color because I needed a bit of cheer down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 So I finished it today. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HxtXEtiWXVRHJEPW9 two coats of primer, three coats of spray paint and some pretty fabric for shelf liners. After peeling the horrid contact paper off the shelves I wanted to find something better to use for liners. I was going to do something with red, but i found this seersucker in my stash of fabric and thought it looked fun. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprayed it with heavy starch...like I soaked the fabric and held it in place with clothes pins till it dried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
