Fresh--A Saturday Afternoon Project



















This felt a little stale. It was a lovely piece that had been acquired a few years ago. I loved it and it worked so well in its first house, but in this new space it needed an update.

So, we pulled off the Chinoiserie fabric.

















We pulled off the background wallpaper from owners even before.

















We measured the shape of the background and used the older fabric as a guide.

















After attaching the fabric with a glue gun, trim was added.

And the glassware was returned to show a cabinet with a fresh face.

















What would make this even fresher would be to paint it with a high gloss white...but that would take more than 1-2 hours on a Saturday.
