Repainted Old Cabinet

I got this cabinet for FREE!  Mom and I had gone to an annual antique sale down the street from our house.  This sale is insane.  People line up around the rope they use to block off the sale until about 9 o'clock when they take the rope down.  Then everyone all but runs through the tents grabbing anything they think they might buy.  Everything is pretty much gone within an hour.  So after Mom and I had bought all our stuff we were walking through all leftovers looking for a cabinet door to put a rug on.  There weren't any left, but one of the ladies running the sale took us to the barn where they keep all our stuff and offered one she had sitting in there.  Then she brought out this cabinet that she said she'd had for years and was like, "You can just take it if you want it."  So obviously we were like, "YES!"  It was dusty and had some stains, but I loved it!

We'd already taken the board off the top.  I really love the bread door on the bottom.  It might get stuck a little sometimes, but it still slides up and down.

The old back was cardboard and, as you can see, stained and falling apart.  We took that off, and my grandpa helped us cut a piece of plywood to fit the back and the top.

I really wanted to paint it green, so I found a color that matched the quilt Mom had bought for my bed.  I got the satin paint at Menard's, and I think it looks great!  And of course it's great for holding all the random stuff I have!
