I love when I find these cute little curio cabinets with glass doors
This is how it started out....Please make me beautiful!!!
The first thing I do is take the back off, it makes it much easier to paint the inside.
The black flowered paper is drawer liner from the dollar store...I loved it so I bought 4 rolls
Then after I taped it off (Tedious) I painted it and added a water slide decal...Tutorial HERE. The graphic is from Graphics Fairy
I put it in my booth and Orange Tree and priced it at $48.00.
The series "What sells and what doesn't" will return next Thursday with an antiques vendor from Minnesota. I didn't schedule a guest blogger today thinking I would have some fabulous Valentines project post....OK, so that didn't happen......So, what have I been doing instead of making Valentines??? Redoing my whole craft room, I'll show you monday!
Happy Creating!

I love the jars with the bronze lids! If I were in Winter Park, I would buy all of them!
Looks beautiful!
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!

You cannot even tell it's the same piece, it looks great. I love that paper too.
Happy Valentine's Day!
śliczna witrynka :) wesołych walentynek :)
this is a wonderful re-do, carol! can't wait to see your new craft room-have a happy vday!
Sooo beautiful. Love it.
Happy Valentine
Whenever I see cabinets like this now, I think of you Carol! : ) I loved that paper from the dollar store, too, and also bought some. It looks great in the back of this little cabinet. Looking forward to seeing your craft room. I always like seeing where others create. Happy Valentine's Day!
wow, thats beautiful, never thought of taking the back off, you are a pro at this for sure!
Lovely...Perfect for Valentines Day!! It's so much better than a card or a box of chocolate. ;)

Happy Valentine's Day, Carol! You are so awesome. I love reading your blog and getting all these tips for fixin' up old stuff. I used to have one of those little curio cabinets and got rid of it because it was so tired looking. Of course, that was many years ago, but I sure wish I'd kept it and fixed it up like you have, here. Now I'll be on the hunt to find something like it. AND, I need to work on convincing "the man" that I really, really NEED a dress form! After your tutorial on making a new one look old, I now want one more than ever.
So Cute Carol. Your so talented. I love this curio with the new update. Happy Valentines Day, Cindy
Hi Carol, Oh I just love this redo of the sweet curio. Love the paper in the back wall. You did a gorgeous redesign as always.
Funny thing, I have the same style curio only in the life size version and have a post for it tomorrow for Country Whites Weekend. LOL
I may just have to add this paper to mine too. I picked up several rolls of the same thing at the Dollar Tree before I got the flu. Now I need to get busy with it.
Can't wait to see your finished craft room. I know it is going to be gorgeous. That Heirloom lace is going in my kitchen too. I just love this paint color and the coordinating chips on that same card.
Happy Valentine's Day.'Hugs, Celestina Marie
Wow this is beautiful! What a difference!
Carol,
Now that is one grand transformation!!
Stunning!!
Hugs,
Debbie
That is always one of my fav transformations you do :)
Somebody will buy that precious thing...it is too cute!
I love this I would buy it in a New York Minute,any idea how much it would cost to send it to Oregon? TTFN
$48? Are you kidding me? You would pay triple that around here for that piece! I just love it- you did an exceptional job. xo Diana
Love it Carol-
Hugs~
Hi Carol! Found your blog a couple weeks ago and have been through the archives enjoying every post and photograph! This cabinet redo is wonderful -- whata talent you have for transformation! (I like to re-purpose interesting pieces - but I have to admit - I'd never have thought to remove the back! Brilliant!!!!
Thursdays do certainly come quickly. Lovely curio cabinet. Happy Valentine Hearts to you dear...
I would buy it if sending it to Canada wouldn't cost more than the little cabinet itself! You did a gorgeous job, as usual....
I love that curio! As usual, you have transformed a nice piece into something really special. What a great way to display the jars. I sell lots of those and vintage perfume bottles in my booth.
What a beautiful transformation. Wintry white is just perfect for Valentine's Day! I am so inspired to get out my paint brush and give a few of my pieces a much needed lift.
Thank you for the inspiration, Carol!
Blessings,
Carolynn xoxo
You always find the best stuff! That's adorable!

Hi...I have been following you for a bit now and love seeing all of your projects! I love to make things and have just started a blog. Hopefully I will be able to post great transformations like you...
That piece is so gorgeous--love what you did with it! The price is so good too. You always sell things for such reasonable prices--if I lived near you I would have a very hard time resisting!
Love this little curio, Carol, and that paper is wonderful too. I would have bought them out if I would have found this paper.
oh my!!!! ive got one EXACTLY like it. ive been staring at it for a while. paid $2 for it.. knew i was going to paint it white. but wasnt sure what else i wanted to do with it. i have about 10 or so small/medium OLD perfume bottles. most with the labels. very beautiful. they'll fit just perfect. so you've helped me out as to what else i want to do with it. i've got the transfers i ordered from you and ill put one of them on. love how you did it. got some black and white rose material i did with vanity stool. so i think i'll put it on some cardboard to fit. it will look just devine. thanks for helping me figure out what else i should do with it. think ill do it tomorrow. happy valentines day.
Your cabinet is darling!!! Can't wait to hear how long it lasted in your booth. And I can't wait to see your craft room!

Fabulous! What a beautiful transformation Carol Thanks for the tip about taking the back off before you paint, and the drawer liner backing really makes this pop!
You really do wonderful transformations. Looking forward to seeing your craft room redo !
What a great piece Carol!! I think I would have trouble selling this beauty!!
I found some liner at Big Lots similar to yours but it is padded liner for drawers. Bought a roll thinking of you - hope to get some of my drawers relined with the pretty paper!
bee blessed
mary
ps can't wait to see your craft room!!!
Another great idea and beautiful transformation!
What a beautiful transformation!

Incredible! I LOVE this cabinet with the curved glass... you really made it a beautiful piece. Wow!
Hi Carol.
Well, you have done it again.
Everything you touch turns to gold.
Watch out, King Midas :)
This is so pretty . . . I wish you lived in this part of the country. I really want to visit your shop :)
Your blogging sister, Connie
You used the same flowered paper before, didn't you? Can't get ogver how lovely it is.
And you did Magic again :love:
What a lovely piece you achieved.
Wishing you a lovely and creative week,
Teresa
That's cute as can be and a great price! I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
This transformation is such an improvement and I didn't consider taking removing the back -- brilliant!
That is sweet as sweet can be. What a difference!
I LOVE what you've done to this little cabinet. I bet it sells in mili-seconds!
If I were there I would buy it in a minuted! So sweet! You are a real sweetheart! Thanks for sharing!
