An old vintage kitchenette that was a family hairloom needed a lot of work to give a new modern look to use for many more years. Old paint was stripped and all sanded back, old backboard was removed and replaced, tracks doors and glass was cleaned repaired and refinished for smooth running and functionality. Finished in a deep royal blue paint, rattan look handles and pale pink paint on the inside.

Hi @Claire84
Thank you for sharing your progress shots on your vintage kitchenette upcycling project. It's clear that the former owner attempted their own upcycling technique on the cabinet. You can see from one of your pictures that the original finish was that classical lacquer brown that you see so often on older furniture. That Royal Blue finish is so deep that in some angles it almost looks black. Did you manage to save the brass finger holds of the sliding doors or did you just end up buying new ones? It's great that you've managed to save the original glass, it just adds to its overall character.
Again, thank you for sharing your beautiful vintage kitchenette upcycling project.
Eric
