This old cupboard had been sitting in a shed for over 50 years when I found it.
It took many many hours to strip and sand back the old crazed paint.
I painted it Dulux Lexicon half which I love as a white paint. I resprayed some of the original hooks and added a some of my own quirky hooks as well.
Sanding back the seat was a fun job as there was a solid mass of something sticky on it and a few other mystery stains. (You just have to love a mystery stain). I did get most of them out but a couple decided they wanted to stay with the Cupboard so I conceded and let them stay.
I finished off the seat with coconut oil. (Yes it really can be used for anything) it's actually a great finish on old wood. Once I have done a couple of coats of coconut nut oil and it has soaked in I'll finish it with a hard wax.
I have added some sexy legs to it which I grabbed from Bunnings (because every piece of furniture deserves good legs)
