Glass Display cabinet

I brought this laminate display cabinet on marketplace for $80.

I transformed it by changing the handles, which I purchased from Kmart and spray painted from gold to Black.

I used British Paints prep for in one pre coat primer to paint the inside of the cabinet that was mirrored, I then painted over the pre-coat with British Paints ‘black ace’ a semi gloss enamel.

I applied three coats allowing time to dry in between, and I also painted the glass shelving as well in ‘black ace,

Hi @LorenaDIYS 

Thank you so much for sharing your display cabinet upcycling project. The black interior has certainly given it a different character. Although you still have a nice traditional exterior, the inside lends a bit of modernism to its overall look.

Again, thank you for sharing such a great upcycling project.
