Hey everyone, it’s Lee Ann from Creative Moments! Come with me and Revive a Curbside Find with this curbside cabinet transformation. When I saw this sweet pine cabinet posted curbside with no takers I saw the big potential and picked it up. The bead board backing and rustic look said paint me in a distressed white and let me shine.

Material List:

Step 1: Painting the outside!

To begin, I flipped it upside down to do the feet and underside first. I painted it in Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint Fluff and brushed it on with an Angled Mini Dixie Belle Synthetic Brush, perfect for cutting edges and covering surfaces. I flipped it over and finished all sides including the open center area.

Step 2: Painting the inside!

Once the paint was dried, I removed the inside cabinet backing boards and painted them in Dixie Belle Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint Salt Water using the Dixie Belle Scarlet Brush, which leaves a smooth finish and covers quickly. The Silk painting has a built-in primer and top coat making it a one-step paint perfect for the inside.

Step 3: Sand the edges!

Back to the cabinet outside, the painted surfaces were sanded smooth and the edges were distressed with a Dixie Belle Sanding Sponge. To seal this Chalk Mineral Paint, I used Dixie Belle’s Best Dang Wax Clear. I brushed it on with a dedicated Dixie Belle Best Dang Brush.

Step 4: Transfer time!

Finally, I wanted to add a bit of fun to this piece, so I picked the Dixie Belle Transfer Flower Child with its rustic floral charm. The chosen pieces were cut out, placed where I wanted them, and burnished on.
I also added a bit of age and dimension to the cabinet, with Dixie Belle’s Best Dang Wax in Grunge Gray brushed on the edges and in the corners and crevices.

This cabinet is perfect in an entryway, living room, hallway, etc. With loads of storage and fun graphic details, it is so versatile.
