WHAT SHE DID
Christy transformed the old cabinet into an organized catchall,
giving everyone in her family a drawer.52 | April 2019 BUYING INFORMATION:^ BHG.com/Resourcesrod, and drilled holes
for new hardware. A new
strip of dentil molding
attached with fi nishing
nails adds interest along
the top edge.4
COVER

shelf paper (Tobacco
Tiles; chicshelfpaper

and the hanging section.

wood inside,” Christy
says. She left the built-in
rack, which originally
held rifl es, for umbrellas.5

such as sunglasses,
mittens, and shoes. ■1
PREP

knob holes, then used
a hand sander all over
the cabinet, taking care
not to remove all the
chipped paint. “I didn’t
want the cabinet to feel
like a completely
diff erent piece,” she says.
“I wanted to keep its
original character with the
texture of the old paint.”2
PAINT
Christy brushed
on primer and two coats
of enamel paint and
sprayed a closet rod with
metallic paint.3
