This is a very old piece that was given to us by a family friend (she also gave us a beautiful bed for Buddy). I usually am drawn to more streamlined furniture with simpler finishes, but I found this piece to be charming and an upgrade from my garage sale cart that ( I'm using it in the picture below) I had been using to hold our record player.
I painted it with some leftover No-VOC paint from our bathroom at our old house (which I also used in our current bathroom).
Look how cozy our records are inside! The whole collection fit perfectly!

I really love how it turned out! And I was able to finally hang the plates my sister and John gave me (they were in cahoots and had a big box of lovelies shipped to me from ModCloth). I actually painted the chest that color specifically to match(ish) my plates. I love them just that much!

That is such a cute piece of furniture! Good call replacing the cart. ;) It kind of pains me to see some beautiful tiger oak painted not stained, but I must say, the paint is stinkin' cute. Especially with those plates. :)
Yeah- I totally get that! Here's what went into our decision to paint. When we first got it, it was stained kind of a honey color and it was cracked on the doors. We sanded it down intending to paint, but once it was sanded, I really liked the natural color of the tiger oak. However, it is in the music room that has tan walls, a brown piano, lots of brown guitars and a brown cd case. It needed some color. BAD. So I went ahead and painted.
Oh, it makes my heart pitter patter. Lovely work.
beautiful! love the collection and player..I have wanted to do that for a long time and cannot seem to get it going..never too late though..thanks for showing this!
