The project

 

An old vintage kitchenette that was a family heirloom needed a lot of work to give a new modern look to use for many more years. Old paint was stripped, it was all sanded back, and the old backboard was removed and replaced.

Tracks, doors and glass were cleaned, repaired and refinished for smooth running and functionality.

It was all finished in a deep royal blue paint, rattan-look handles and pale pink paint on the inside.

It definitely had a few makeovers in its lifetime. The finger handles are original. I cleaned the rust off and sprayed them gold to tie them in with the rest of the piece.

Good Morning @Claire84 

I like the effort required! Worth it but that looks like a huge amount of restoring. Interesting use of playing cards I must admit :smile: 

I like your choice of colours with the pink and blue? They work together for sure.
