This was a fun transformation, it might be way to sweet for some of you!
I found this great curio that needed just a little help. I almost forgot to take before pictures until after I had taped off the glass
I used heirloom white paint
And added a water slide decal on the inside of the glass. Since it was on the inside, I had to reverse the image. The graphic is from Graphics Fairy, I added the rose to the graphic.
The wallpaper is a vintage Laura Ashley
I think it looks like a little apothecary cabinet
This is headed to the Fancy Flea, the show I'm doing in April

Happy Creating!

Love this sweet cabinet!! And not too sweet for me :) It's just right!
Beautiful! This will go flying out of your booth... I love the boquet sitting next to it, too
The cabinetis gorgeous and I ADORE the decals I have just spent the last hour using-thank you for offering them!!!
Never too sweet for me. I adore your transformation and the decal just makes it so special. I wish I could wiggle my nose like Samantha on Bewitched and magically be at your FF sales space. Blissful...
You did a great job on that! It is so pretty!
Totally fab! AS ALWAYS! LOVE IT!

I LOVE IT! Your cabinet is just darling and that graphic is perfect for it. I had that same Laura Ashley wallpaper in a bathroom in the 1980's. I had the coordinating paisley paper that went with it on the soffit system and I loved that bathroom..
Carol, I have the same cabinet and I have been waiting to do something with it. May I ask of you spray painted it? I LOVE it!
Hugs,
Debbie
What a difference some paint and a water slide decal makes!!! It will be one of the first things to sell out of your booth!!!
Oh it is sweet and I would think it is going to go fast!!
Your cabinet is darling! It looks so cute with your collection of perfume bottles and other vanity items displayed in it.

Oh, I love what you did with that image. I have used that same image. but how do you get the image on a water slide decal? I love that little cabinet. Come check out my latest vintage finds.
I am still laughing about the found hat from the ball-your hilarious!
Sweetie this cabinet is so darn cute and I love the wallpaper in the inside.
Such a beauty
Stunning transformation. Wow!
Okay... You won't believe this. But I have that EXACT same cabinet... And it almost made it into my new sewing room... We actually started painting in and then I changed my mind... Not on the Cabinet, just using it for the Sewing Room... I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you did to it.. HHHHMMMM!!!! I am thinking I need some of these water slide decals.... This actually looks like the Baby or Cousin to (MY) the cabinet in your guest bathroom.. :)
Don't get attached to that little cabinet. It won't be yours for long! ~ Maureen
I drooled all over that. -.- Just sayin'... SO VERY SWEET!!!!! I cant describe how much in love with this I am! :D
Hugs,
My daughter used to have that Laura Ashley print in her room years ago, think she still has the comforter hiding under her bed for overnight guests...
The cabinet. I LOVE IT! The decal wins! Pinning that little beauty so I can use it as inspiration.
~Bliss~
So sweet I have a toothache just looking at it! ;)
eeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!! sooooo dang gum sweet!
this looks beautiful we bought our daughter that very cabinet years ago!she needs to see this, ( hate to be a copy cat) but such an improvement, you are such an inspiration you are.
It's beautiful! Seeing beautiful things always makes me want more psace to put them in. I'd have such a hard time parting with all of those treasures. I don't know how you SELL them. But, at least you get to own a lot of treasures for a little while!

What a beauty! I hate to say it, but it was an ugly thing before you got your hands on it. Just goes to show what some paint & creative hands can do!
Wow, Carol. This is beautiful. I love designs on glass. Are you making and selling the water slide decals for this too?
Just "sweet enough"!!!
Great job you busy gal!
Warmly,
deb
This is so sweet, i love all the little jars ypou pictured in it too! Scarlett x
Hi Carol,
Just remember, "sweet" sells! I love it.

I LOVE this, Carol! It looks soooo much better white, too! Great label and it does look like an old French apothecary cabinet.
I love this little cabinet--it is adorable! I want to make some of those decals. They looks fantastic on everything! You do such a nice job with things. I love your feminine style!
OMG! I love this sweet cabinet!! If I could make it to the Fancy Flea, I would fight someone for that little beauty.
It is just darling Carol! Perfect little cabinet. Hey have you missed me? I feel like I am in a foreign Country over there at word press. My new URL is http://debbie-debbiedoos.com. I think you may have to re add me.
Hi Carol,
Beautiful cabinet and so girly! I use to have that wallpaper and fabric in my bathroom.

This is seriously cute!! What a transformation! I love it, love it, love it!

This is very very nice! I transformed a closet from yellow into white. It's so bright. Dear greatings Elly from Holland.
It looks wonderful, and the very best part is the addition of the waterslide decal. That's what makes it really stand out.
And, I just noticed that you shouted out the gorgeous sewing room. I had missed your post, but I definitely did not miss hers. OH. WOW. Clearly, artistic talent runs in the family! I have pinned it and yakked about it to nearly everyone I know. It's one of the prettiest things I've ever seen in blog land.
OMG Carol, I have fallen in love! How can you part with it girl? The transformation is fabulous! Love, love the decal and the wallpaper is so sweet!
Hugs,
Jann
Oh that is such a great transformation. I have that same little cabinet and have been thinking about what to do with it. Now I have another place to use my decals!
I adore little cabinets and use them to store craft supplies. This one is so special with the glass doors. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Carol, This is awesome and perfectly cottage chic. Love it and I love the fabric which I have used many a time too. It is so funny because I just finished and posted about a project using the same french graphic too.
I don't think your little cabinet will last long.
Happy Creating, Celestina Marie
I need to get out more often! Then I, too, can find wonderful pieces to transform! I call this little cabinet 'precious'!
this is so sweet, carol! such a difference! the wallpaper is the perfect accent, too!
Beautiful transformation! That would look perfect in our guest room! Love it! Thanks for sharing.
LOVE IT!!!! It is perfect!
Great transformation! I love the sweet paper :-)

Fine job on the cabinet makeover. Now it's so sweet and desirable!
Oh my this is gorgeous. Funny because we have the same cabinet and Im in Australia. I considered painting it white but thought it would be too hard and take too much time. You have transformed it beautifully.
Love it! I need to learn how to do those adorable water slide decals super stat (nurse talk there) LOL! I had that Laura Ashley wallpaper in one of my bathrooms years ago ;-) I can't wait to see all of your goodies and help you at the Fancy Flea! I put in my request for that weekend off, but have not gotten and answer as of yet. Will let you know asap...XoXo

ps i'm so hitting the follow button on your page :)
Oh! I had that wallpaper, too!Laura Ashley! It was in a bedroom. The lovely thing about the best Laura Ashley designs is that they never age; they always look sweet and cottage-y or grand and country mansion.
This little cupboard is really lovely. Not too sweet at all.
Another masterful transformation, Carol! What a differnce the paint and decal made. Absolutely adorable!
Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday last week. I hope you'll join the fun again this week. Be sure to stop in tonight, and see yourself featured! ;)

Liz @ The Brambleberry Cottage
I love it! I have a couple of shelves like that. Better get myself some paint.

Carol, she is a beauty! Hope you had fun at Renningers. Hoping to get out there soon myself.
OMG! Not too sweet at all..I totally love it! You realise that as I am in Thunder Bay right now and have access to three thrift stores that I am not going to sleep tonight don't you because I will be thinking about getting there early to see if they have one of these to play with!
LOL!

OH Carol...that turned out so great...I think you've inspired us all!
Best makeover ever! I have so many items around my house that could use a facelift. I love your blog :)
Well Carol I am totally bereft having scoured the thrift stores for something similar to have a go at and I can't find anything at all with a glass door :(
However I cheered up significantly when I saw your fab giveaway!
Ro xxxx
Great makeover, absolutely beautiful:-)
Hugs, Biljana
This is beautiful. I think you are the most talented person in blog-land!
I love how you can turn the ugliest things into something great :) Great idea to use the transfer on the glass door!
