Bathroom Cabinet Refresh
Our main family bathroom is pretty small and seriously lacking in storage space. We have a couple cupboards on the vanity but we needed a space to store things up out of reach from the kids. I searched for an over the toilet cabinet for a bit but they were all more than I wanted to pay, so I went to the closest Habit for Humanity Restore with high hopes and found exactly what I wanted! :) I found this cabinet for $10!! Win-win! It was a bit heavy though and didn't come with any mounting hardware so my husband went a little crazy securing it to the wall with drywall hangers and screws. After he was done though there were visible screw holes which were a bit unsightly, so I started brainstorming on how to spruce it up a bit.I decided I would put a piece of wood over the holes and paint it in a fun pattern to cover up the screw holes. I measured the space on the bottom. Then I enlisted my husband's help again to cut me a piece of thin plywood we had left over from another project.Then I added some color blocking details to the plywood and some door knobs I had left from another project. I used painter's tape and some acrylic paint I had on hand to give them a fun design.Then I sealed both the door knobs and the plywood with a gloss medium varnish to give it a smooth finish.Here is my finished cabinet. I slid the board in place and attached the door knobs. I went with an asymmetrical look in my design.Next, I added some styling details. :)I love little projects like this because it adds a fun pop of color to the cabinet and I can always take it out and repaint it when I get bored of it! :)Thanks for reading!
