How To Paint Furniture

Beach, Wine, Cabinet…Maybe get to the cabinet first, get the wine and take it to the beach! That sounds right.

This is such a unique piece, don’t you think? I found it at the Jersey Shore at one of the many yard sales. I immediately had to have it when I found it. I mean, $10 bucks and a rare piece as far as I’m concerned. When you have a beach house and people visit, you have to stock up on the wine! I was keeping this beauty.

Heaving Distressing

I did heavy distressing on this piece to really bring out the beach feel. The weathered wood look gives it that bright beach feel. 

How about this seahorse hardware, adorable right? I found these at Hobby Lobby, perfect for the beach decor. I left the feet their natural color as well as the bottle inlets, only painting the frame of each diamond area. 

This is ‘Candy‘, because wine is candy. Wouldn’t you agree?
