Old Oak Gun Cabinet to Gray Pantry

I got to scraps of wood cut them to fit inside my cabinetI got two scraps of wood cut them to fit inside my cabinet, I used L brackets and installed both the shelves in there since I knew they were going to be painted I didn’t worry that they were scrapes. 

Taped off
I decided to leave the back of the cabinet the light oakI decided to leave the back of the cabinet the light oak And paint the rest of it gray so I taped off back of cabinet. 

I like the wood contrast
After two coats of my homemade gray paintAfter two coats of my homemade gray paint I added a coat of clear urethane. Now I just need to do something about the glass. I didn’t to frost them with a stencil to add character.

Adding glass frost
I first clean the window with alcohol to make sure there was no residue on itI first clean the window with alcohol to make sure there was no residue on it and will get coverage off frosting spray. 

I cut off the corners of my stencil
I cut off the corners of my stencilI placed the stencil on the door and sprayed the glass frosting over it. Make sure you hold the stencil and place with fingers otherwise it will wanna move on you from the air. You don’t want to tape it in place because it will not get the frosting under that tape. 

Frosted glass
Once I completed the frosting in the stencilOnce I completed the frosting in the stencil, I replace the doors and put them back on now I needed to attach the feet. 

Attaching feet
Adding feetI had already painted the feet to match the rest of the cabinet I just needed to create blocks out of 2 x 4 to put in each corner of the hollow bottom to attach the feet to. 

Screws into base
The feet simply screwed into the blocks 

  • The feet simply screwed into the blocks. Use four screws and screwed them into the base for strength.
Final project
Once completed I fell in love with it.This seriously was one of my better repurposed projects. I was ready to trash the cabinet but now it’s a little paint a little frosting glass and legs it’s beautiful. So much so my daughter stole it and took it home. I hope you like it this is super easy love your comments.
