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!
