This Transformation is so sweet it will make your teeth hurt!
I got this cabinet last month when my Mom gave up her snowbird status and moved to Orlando full time. I have had my eye on it for years and there was no room for it in her new place...Oh, to bad..Yea!
I painted it heirloom white and added free porcelain flowers to the top
Then added a water slide decal. I got the graphic frame from Graphics Fairy and wrote the word "Linen. Let me just tell you, putting a decal this large on a window...Nightmare, it took 3 attempts and a lot of bad words, kind of like "Poop"!
I used a thrift store wall paper on the inside, I think it's Laura Ashley
Are you falling in love yet? I'm storing my vintage family linen
It's going in my guest room, but the room is to dark to photograph in
I love it! My apologies to all my friends out there who aren't into the whole shabby white thing...I know your teeth are hurting from the sweetness!
Wait a minute...Where did I get those knobs?
I made them and you can too!
Happy Creating!
Carol

Oh it is pretty! Glad you and the decal finally got along! Crafting can sometimes be very frustrating...but completion is such delight!
So much girliness but it is PERFECT carol! & I love the decal! even though it took you a few tries-worth the frustration right? Can't wait to see the polymer clay knob tutorial!
I love it! The decal is the perfect finishing touch. I'm interested to see how you did the knobs.
Now you have me wanting to try water decals even more than I did! Great job!!! I'm anxious to read the knob tutorial, too!!!
Its gorgeous, love the porcelain flowers and the decal.

Hi! Very nice...I wandered over to see your booth yesterday....almost bought your stool...maybe next time...loved your spot! Still want to know more about the decals...thanks, Linda
I have thoughts of painting all my furniture white like this,, often,, or small apartment now we are retired would be the best situation for this,, I just can't get my nerve up,, scaredy cat I am,, i so admire this,, maybe I should throw caution to the wind and just do it! You are my inspiration you are!!
I love it Carol! I don't mind your shabbiness at all my friend...you have to put up with all my colors LOL!
hi, Carol...another cute project...glad you get to enjoy this one! I have to tell you that the wallpapaer that you used is a Laura Ashley and was the wallpaper I used in my master bath in my very first house in South Tampa. I fell in love with it at the wallpaper store...and I still love it...perfect for your little cabinet.
Crafty Carol...keep up the good work...and waiting to hear how you made those cute little knobs. denise
Oh my gosh Carol, I love the cabinet, love, love the knobs and I need knobs for my bathroom cabinet, can't wait for that tutorial!

My teeth hurt, but it might be from grinning. I love it and it is PERFECT painted shabby white. Some thing just beg for white, and this piece is one of them.
It could not be lovelier displayed the way it is, too.
I love it! What a makeover. I love that you painted it white and I love the roses and "linen" script that you added. Gorgeous!

Oh Carol, this is a beautiful transformation! I was hoping you weren't going to put it in your shop. It's too pretty to give up.
OH WOW! I'm in love with your cabinet.
I used to have a shower curtain in the same pattern as your wallpaper.
xo,
Dee
Hey Carol!
Girl, there's nuttin you can't do! It's fabulous! I love the shabby look and have a few white shabby things. But I also loooove other looks. I am in biggie trouble whenever we do buy a house because I don't know which way I'll lean in decorating it!
Nancy
What a fabulous job you did!!!

I wish I had your talent!
Have a great week!

Lovely! You have inspired me to get busy on a cabinet I picked up along the side of the road.
You are just too talented. Love, love, love it. Can't wait to see the knob tutorial.
That is fabulous!! Love it all. Waiting to see how to make the clay knobs.
Have fun,
Cheryl
This piece is so beautiful! I love that lined the interior of the cabinet, made it so much more shabbily beautiful!
OMG, I adore it!!
I'll be sending you my Dentist's bill.
I love your cabinet Carol. You always go the extra mile in your projects.

The cabinet is LOVELY!!! You out did yourself! All the lil details down to the knobs & wallpaper! Never too sweet 4 me! ;)
Carol,
Love how this turned out. The before and after pictures show how a bit of paint a decal and some porcelain roses can transform a piece. Love it, looks great with the vintage linens inside.
omg It's GORGEOUS!!! Love it!!
this is simply amazing and darling, carol! thanks for sharing the decal info--gotta try it now:)

My teeth hurt but I'm loving it. I especially like the flowers and the knobs. Very crafty!
Oh you did such an awesome job!! It turned out just beautiful!!
I can't keep up with you Carol. I just posted on my biz blog that bloggers can learn how to make decals by visiting your blog, and now you are on to knobs.....gesh girlfriend. I need a minute to slow down. HA!!
I think your cubby is fantastic and bets she wants it back!!
Char
You are one amazingly creative gal, Carol! LUV this project - and am still loving your water slide decals, girl! :) I've gotta agree with Char.....You're like the Energizer Bunny! lol!
xoxo laurie
It turned out really beautifully - and thanks for that link to your decal tutorial - that's one I'll be doing soon. :) I'm a new follower and found you via Savvy Southern Style.
(PS - I just did a PC knob post and can't wait to see yours!) xo
What a great treatment! I like it much better your way than the plain light wood. Good job!
What?? Who wouldn't love this cabinet~??? I think it is fantastic! So darn pretty and vintage spirited. Love this!!
Gorgeous! Now that's what I call a makeover! Love everything you did and totally feel your pain over the decal and the poop words. I've totally been there!
Jeanine
This is sooooo pretty. I love all the details. Thanks for sharing at Wow.
I think my Mom has that same corner cabinet! It turned out great Carol. I used a very large and long and skinny decal not too long ago and it too was hard as heck to get on. But the results, like yours, was worth it. xo
I fell in love from the first picture! What a stunning make-over (i am also eyeing up all your treasures inside!) Scarlett x
Oh girl, you outdid yourself! this piece is stunning and by chance, I love your home decor too!
I cant wait for the next post, it will be EPIC!
I love the rustic white shabby loo and you ht teh nail on the head!
Hugs,
Carol, you are so talented!! You seem to always be able to give everything you touch the most perfect, sweetest touch.
I think of you often (even though I'm not blogging much lately), as you are always my inspiration for my new booth....which is doing fantastic by the way. Even though I'm not a shabby chic gal, I can always count on you for amazing inspiration.
Thanks for always being generous and sharing your successes, tips, and beautiful creations! :)
Yep my teeth are hurting, but from laughing so hard ! This came out great (of course ) and I love how you keep it real by sharing how on occasion you say things like "Poop" a lot!!! Thanks for sharing and giving me a much needed laugh ;D
Wow - what a great transformation. From "brown-out" to ultimate sweetness!
Jan
This is simply amazing, carol! You did a fabulous job on the cabinet, It's too pretty to give up on this Christmas or any occasions also. You have new ideas in each and every blog.
That really did turn out great! I need something like that in my bathroom! I don't think I could pull this off though! WOW! You are GOOD! ♥
Great makeover, I love it, absolutely beautiful:-)
Hugs, Biljana
Love it! What paper did you use on in the interior?
Just found you thru Kim over at SavvySC..just a darling makeover. Poor, poor, old Mom moving to Orlando and having to leave her cabinet!;>) xo Diana
I am your newest follower. That IS an old Laura Ashley print from the 1980s/early 90s! I had it in my bathroom and there was a coordinating beautiful soft paisley that matched it! Great job! xo Diana
Wow looks fantastic. Amazing what a little bit of paint and creativity can do! Well done. I'm your newest follower. Diane
Carol, I love your hutch makeover, and it's not too sweet for me. I do like shabby chic - bright cheery with soft colors.
Your cabinet knobs are a delight and they look wonderful on the hutch.
I think it will be perfect in a guest room - how lucky to be a guest.
Blessings,
Marianne
After viewing the transformation of your cabinet - I'm a new follower of your blog. The cabinet is gorgeous! There is a link on the phrase 'free porcelain flowers' but I couldn't get the link to work. Can you tell me what it references? Where the porcelain flowers reclaimed from something else? I love the look of them on the cabinet.
Thanks!
Carol, The transformation is amazing. I love the sweetness of the cabinet and the decal adds a wonderful touch.
Hugs,
Sherry
Wow! Very pretty, I love it! I love the wall paper you used to line it with and it all looks just devine with all your linen and pretty bottles inside! take care, Maryann
Sheer Perfection, It makes me want to crawl into a warm bed and wrap myself under a pretty pink floral quilt. I'm sure your guests will feel right at home when they look at this lovely "redo" of your cupboard. Stunning!
Cathy
Oh man I dearly LOVE that! I just saw one some where made of 2 doors. One was a wooden door and the other one was a glass door for the opening door of the cabinet. It was really neat!
I love this though and your knobs! oh my gosh!!!! LOVE em!
Thank you for sharing all your ideas and how you do them!!!
