Radio Cabinet Makeover!

I love my old fashion radio stand, it is no longer a radio cabinet though I just use it for storage, and decoration.  Isn't it cute?

 I purchased it, at a local thrift store called thrift city.

This little cabinet is in my front little sitting room.

I got this adorable breakfast tray along with the bird house just the other night at Goodwill. 

 The bird is off my Christmas tree, I decided he was way too cute and should be out all year long.

My girls are so cute!

It's hard to tell in photo's, but I did distress the edges of the cabinet after I painted it white. I used a product called rub n buff the color is called "patina". When you look at this color online it looks super bright blue, which I was nervous about, when I ordered it I thought it was going to be way to bright and too blue, but omgosh it is so perfect and its not even that blue its very green-blue pretty much exactly the color I use as a accent color in alot of my home, I am so happy with it.

 I buy rub n buff on Ebay, its very inexpensive.

 
Very happy with the way it turned out I feel this room is so much brighter and cheerful now that it is white instead of the dark.
 
Home sweet home.

    Your cabinet is so lovely and you did a great job applying the rub'n'buff. Something I've been meaning to try for a long time now.

    The cabinet is gorgeous. I have one here in my shop that I've threatened to paint if it doesn't sell soon. Soooo, that may just be my next project. You've inspired me to take that girl home and PAINT HER WHITE.
