After lots of searching I found a cabinet just the right size to hold a litter box. It was a bit DARK so I will chalk paint it!
So I selected an Eddie Bauer color combination - Mercer Blue and Craft White - mostly because it was left over from our bedroom makeover, and I loved the color combination! So $25 for the cabinet and the paint was all leftovers.
Took off the door and started to putty the lock hole and old handle hole - don't like them - plan on replacing them. Sanded the varnish and stain off of the top - there is a cool pattern the top - hate the color - so I will make it lighter so it stands out.
On goes the painting!!! And you can see my pretty top.
So blue paint first and then I used the Craft White paint and rub/smudge process. Oh, I also installed a cat door for litter box access that is exclusive to the Girls and does not allow dog access.
Started to paint the door - while it dries I type this, before I do a second coat of paint on the door and then do the inside of the door - as I Annie Sloan wax the cabinet. Don't look forward to it (the waxing) but it must be done. I heard some people use a clear varnish... haven't tried that - but I just might on the inside where the cat dirties will be!
More to follow....
