Spice Drawer Apothecary Cabinet Makeover

Just wanted to share a spice drawer cabinet that I madeover this week.   I thought it would be fun to change it up a bit and do two colors.    

 

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,
