Evolution Of A Stereo Cabinet

An old stereo cabinet gets a modern makeover.  We have all seen them, they are discarded, deemed useless filled with old speaker boxes, slots for all your albums.  All that can be removed from the inside and what you have left is a great little storage cabinet.  I've seen them used in small apartments for wine bottle storage or cocktail bar, bedroom storage, shoe cabinet, office filing organization, toy storage the possibilities are endless.

Aviary Cabinet

Have you ever wanted to know what to do with a cabinet with broken glass, replace it right? Well not if its curved it makes it a little more difficult.  The easy fix is to replace it with wire, chicken wire to be specific.

Now all is needs is a little paint, I thought I would keep it simple and go with white.

Two Hutches Two Different Styles

The first hutch was just a plain old wood hutch and needed a little pizzaz  to  I used black to give it that classic finish and Scotland Isle green by Behr to  give it some interest and brighten it up.

Second Hutch Farmhouse Style 

This cabinet came out of old house here locally and was in sad shape.  I cleaned it up and used Venus Teal by Behr on the outside then lightly dry brushed it in white.  I then sanded the whole piece to bring out some of the white underneath while keeping some of its aged patina.
