I had to clean the piece first. It had a fair amount of kitchen grease on it.
Then I sanded it, to prepare it for paint.
The drawers got painted seafoam green.
The color reminds me of jadeite.
The rest of the cabinet got painted white and lightly distressed.
I glued a knob onto the bottom middle section to make it match the other drawers.
It didn't have one when I started.
This area isn't actually a drawer, it is an open space.
I'm not sure why it was made this way and have been trying to think of a clever use for the opening,
but I haven't come up with anything great yet.
Maybe teabags?
Maybe taller spice bottles or salt & pepper grinders?
What would you do with the open space on the bottom shelf?
I'm stumped.
Thanks for stopping by to peak at my spice drawer makeover
and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
'til next time,
Another sweet project, Adina! Hmm, I wonder what that opening was used for to?.. Now, I would put some sweet flowers in there. Or keep taller Bottles or jars in there. Guess it depends exacly where you put it :) zHope you have a super blessd weekend!!
