I found this cute, record cabinet at our local thrift store and bought it for a steal.
It had a few small issues, but nothing that a little glue and nails couldn't handle.
This cabinet was actually the very first piece I picked up after I bought a Suburban.
If I would have still had my little Grand Am, I never would have fit it into the car.
But, with the Suburban, it was no problem!
(ps. I love that big boat of a vehicle that I drive now!)
Here it is right after I bought it.
After I got it home, I realized it would probably be best
to just take it apart and put it all back together again.
The glue that had been used on it was so old, it was basically non-existent now!
I figured it would make a better storage cabinet without them.
Unless someone really wanted to use it to store records.
But I doubted that...
on this piece instead of leaving it open.
What I hadn't planned on was using the dividers for that purpose.
But, with only one cut, they fit perfectly!
So I went ahead and used them as the cabinet doors.
it wasn't necessary to add any knobs.
They just seemed so perfect as doors for this piece!
I painted the cabinet in white and added a vertical stripe
in American paint Company's Beach Glass on each side.
The cabinet doors are painted in turquoise with
horizontal Beach Glass stripes.
The first record cabinet I painted turned out pretty cute, for sure.
But I love how parts of this piece were used
for a new purpose on the same piece of furniture!
Let's keep in touch...
Your comments make me smile :) 'Til next time!
