China Cabinet


So I started on my china cabinet. I had already spray painted the cabinet, table and the buffet a medium brown. I highlighted them all with a little bronze metallic paint. The original cabinet was wooden inside with wooden shelves. I wanted a mirrored look inside so I used a foiled paper. I tried a few papers and can't remember where I got this one from.

For my glass shelves I cut the clear plastic that's used for picture framing. It took a little finagling to get the shelves glued in, trying not to get the glue all over the foil paper.  The glue/shelves kept sliding down. 



The knobs on the doors are made from toothpicks.
I painted the ends the Metallic Bronze color then
cut them the length I needed and glued 
them on.
                                                    

                                                        

These are all the pieces I had to use to
  fill up the cabinet. After the shelves
     were dry I started to place everything,
       Mini wax is fast becoming
             my new best tool.



The Pink punch bowl is from Chrysbon, the wine glasses are real glass I got from a Philly show and the bowl and pitcher are part of a tea set (a great buy) I got from Hobby Lobby. The Hot Green decorative piece is a plastic bead.


Here is the cabinet all finished, just waiting for its place in the room!
