take the jewelry chest out of the bedroom and give it a new life in the kitchen or the garage!

step 1:  remove the hardware and refinish cabinet in desired color or patina. Before painting, be sure to use a paint deglosser to break down the gloss and then follow up with a primer for best adhesion.
step 2: swap out hardware, if desired.
step 3: replace mirror with a chalkboard, corkboard or dry erase board.
 

 

If using in the kitchen - fill with spices and smaller kitchen accessories.  Use the necklace hooks in the side doors to
hang kitchen utensils.

 
If using in the garage or workshop - remove the doors and add pegboard over the recessed sides.  (there are different styles of armoires, so improvise accordingly).  Add metal plates and brackets for an industrial touch.  Hang on the wall.  Be sure to secure to a stud for proper support.  Add a dowel or metal pipe between the front legs and use as a towel bar.  Hang doors separately on either side and use necklace hooks for additional tool storage.
